Earlier this week, our air conditioning system tore up. As luck would have it, it’s the same time that the weather started heating up too! We are expecting to have a very hot summer this year, and so I know that I’m going to be using my air conditioning a lot of the time. I do not do well without […]
I’m going to use a new HVAC company
I’m going to start using a new HVAC company that’s a family owned business. I have been thinking about switching to a different HVAC company for a while now but I have been putting it off for some reason. I guess it’s because I’ve been dealing with the same HVAC corporation for a while now and I am just a […]
Don’t accidentally void your warranty the way that I did
Don’t accidentally void your warranty the way that I did last year. I had no clue that I needed to have my central air conditioning system in my house looked at by a professional HVAC technician once every quarter in order to maintain my warranty. I’m sure that they went over this little detail with me back when I purchased […]
Upgrading a basement window air conditioner with a ductless mini split
I’ve been living in a friend’s basement for the past year and a half and it’s not so bad. I have a separate bedroom attached to a large kitchen and living room space. It was nicely furnished when I arrived as well, with a leather couch and lazy boy recliner that were removed from my friend’s living room upstairs when […]
It’s getting miserably hot in my region now that it’s officially summer
I’m not looking forward to the next few weeks when our project deadlines loom and our target goals increase. We do subcontract work for other companies, but we’re short of a few key people this month due to positive COVID tests. It’s hard to find employees to work when the only ones available are constantly getting sick and requiring mandatory […]
I miss the days where I could open windows without allergens coming inside
As long as you keep your windows shut during the pollen blooms during certain weeks in the spring season, you don’t have nearly as many fungal spores in the air up there as we do down south where I’m living currently I miss the days of my youth, but I guess this is an experience shared by all, regardless of […]
I prefer my new heat pump over my old electric furnace
For climate control, we purchased a ductless mini split heat pump after hearing so many good reports about the make and model from internet HVAC forums. It was my decision to sell our hunting cabin so we could afford to remodel our main home. My mother-in-law needs some help around the house and I figured we could furnish our attic […]
Ductwork cleaning got rid of dust and mold that had gathered in the ventilation system
Over the past six weeks I’ve been painting and readying a condominium to move into. I purchased the unit so I could downsize and get closer to the beach. However, my limited budget forced me to look for a condo that needed some repair work done to make it comfortably livable again. It’s hard finding good housing in prime locations […]
There are debris-collecting, netted covers for HVAC condenser units
I wasn’t expecting daily thunderstorms for six week straight, but our area has been deluged with rain lately. The road in front of my house gets so much water that it turns into a four inch creek for weeks on end. My neighbor told me that he has to keep draining a few inches of water from his swimming pool […]
The newly fitted furnace
When I first moved into my new apartment, there was a lot to get used to—having come from a house full of people as well as noise as well as having to share things as well as amenities in the locale. Now I was in my own space as well as did not need to share anything with anyone. My […]
