We told our son that there was no way he was going to go through the entire summer without doing anything. We really wanted him to get some kind of job, but we weren’t sure what he could get. He was a little too young to get an official job and my wife and I discussed this. Then my wife […]
I made a new furry friend in my neighborhood
He probably had no idea what it was, but now he was getting a taste of what the HVAC system can do One day, I had this stray cat come to my door. He was meowing and he seemed really friendly so I went outside to pet him. He seemed like he was hungry and thirsty so I brought out […]
I don’t want my mother to be all alone
It wasn’t easy for me when my father ended up going to war. He was out there someplace in The Middle East, and we were worried and praying for him all the time. Then we got the most devastating news, that he was killed on the battlefield. This was news that was difficult for my young mind to process. I […]
We started with an oil furnace and now we upgraded to a gas furnace
We initially had to get an oil furnace when we first bought our home. The old oil furnace was shot and we couldn’t afford to convert to a gas heating system back then. Finally after 25 years, our oil furnace was finished and we decided it was time to convert to a natural gas furnace. This procedure was a bit […]
I spent all day on Saturday picking up air purifiers
The governor lifted all of the quarantine restrictions last weekend. It is still necessary to wear a face mask in public spaces like stores, restaurants, and bars. Machines like air purifiers, hand sanitizing stations, and alcohol dispensers are going to end up in a landfill somewhere for the next fifty years. Indoor air quality tests are no longer a state […]
The smell from the AC was really unbearable
My wife and I went to the city for dinner and a show. After the show, my wife and I didn’t want to drive all the way back to the country. I decided it might be a nice idea to get a hotel room for the night. My wife and I didn’t have any plans the next morning and it […]
The HVAC tune-up went well
When I started hearing a strange noise coming from the air conditioner, I thought it might be time to tune up the entire HVAC unit. Normally, my wife and I have the HVAC unit serviced once a year. It was still 2 months until the time when we would regularly have the HVAC tune of appointment, but I thought it […]
I slept better with the AC running
Three weeks ago, my brother and I were in a really bad car accident. My brother pick me up from soccer practice and we headed back to the house. We were crossing an intersection when a truck drove through the red light and crashed into the side of our car. The police, fire truck, and ambulance arrived on scene to […]
Satisfied with window air conditioners
Living in the northeastern part of the country, I’ve never felt that central air conditioning was necessary. The local weather is cold and snowy for the majority of the year. I often find it necessary to start up the furnace in early September. It’s not unusual to rely on the heater until the end of April. Over the very long […]
Dehumidifier improves comfort and air quality
Living in the south, air conditioning is necessary but not enough. Although centralized cooling systems have significantly improved in design over the years, they can’t handle excess humidity. An air conditioner works by pulling heat out of the indoor air and using refrigerant to transport it outdoors. In the area where I live, the high humidity levels are a big […]
