The company I recently joined has this thing they call baptism by fire. When a new HVAC tech is baptized by fire, it means that they can be requested to carry out a task solo when out on work orders at any point during their first month. I was only three weeks old at the company when we were called […]
The new home services business venture
The global pandemic taught me a lot. One of the lessons was that it is not safe to put all my eggs in one basket in terms of income. I have worked as an HVAC tech with a particular company for a few years. The job is good, and I enjoy it, but I feel the need to have another […]
Our family church is getting a new geo heat pump
When mum told me about plans to have a new heating device installed at the church, I told her I would be sending the invoice. I have a home service company installing different systems and running tune-ups on them. Before the new furnace is installed, we needed to assess the current unit’s state and start planning to install the new […]
Enough of constant heating repair
I am not sure why I held onto the old system when it was always in need of fixing; if it was not one thing, it was the other. It was the second time I was calling the home services company for heating repair in the same month. The HVAC tech had even stopped telling me to buy a new […]
A trip down memory lane when home services seemed like a luxury
The once well-taken care HVAC system had lost all its glory while the digital thermostat was holding on to dear life. Standing in the parking area of the building that houses the home services business sucking on my cherry-flavored lollipop, I still could not come to terms with the turn of events. A year ago, I was on the same […]
Getting a new heating device for my first home
I had extensive research about heating technology before shopping for a heating device for my house. My uncle had advised me to consult some of the heating industry professionals before making a final decision. A recommendation would be vital since heating equipment has changed so much over the years. The two proposals that stood out for me were installing a […]
A geo heat pump for the new business venture
Morris and his new wife, Marissa, planned to convert their five-bedroom house into a bed and breakfast. The house initially belonged to Marrissa, who inherited it after passing on. Every bedroom had its bathroom, and her parents had renovated the house five years back, so it was in excellent condition, and they did not have to change a thing, so […]
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 and noise and having to share things and amenities in the place. Now I was in my own space and did not need to share anything with anyone. My father and my brothers had helped me move. […]
Effective heating maintenance tips you can apply this winter
Winter is here, and the last thing I want is the furnace going dead on me. Over the years, I learned how to prepare myself for winter from the experts in the heating industry. A factor that has helped me keep up with my scheduling is having the heating maintenance done on the same day every year. This type of […]
Sunroom so much more comfortable with ductless heat pump
I wasn’t really so sure about adding a sunroom to our home. We had moved to the south to get out of the winter weather. That was a wonderful thing and we were both so thankful for that. Yet, trading the gas furnace for the heat pump came with a bit of a tradeoff. Of course, I would trade that […]
