I sure don’t like shelling out my cash for stuff like oil changes any more than anyone else. But maintenance and especially preventive maintenance is an important part of owning good stuff. That goes for cars as well as for HVAC equipment. When I was younger, I had no money so I had to make do with whatever I had. […]
Air purification solves the indoor air dilemma
If you’re walking down the street in front of my house, don’t be too surprised if I invite you inside. I’m for sure being neighborly but it’s also been a long time since anyone but family was inside the central air conditioning of my home. There is only one reason for that and it’s embarrassment. Our house is lovely inside […]
Not the time for an HVAC surprise
We are maybe a month from Summer weather. Soon the dome of high temperatures and high humidity will be placed over us for something like 4 months. But man, it’s worth it for the rest of the year. That’s why I’m soaking up every opportunity to get out of the zone controlled HVAC at work during lunch. It’s still so […]
Grateful for a quick thinking HVAC contractor
To save money, I took on a lot when it came to being a first time homeowner. But that’s the only way that I was going to be able to stop paying rent and take on a mortgage. The more I saved for a home, the further out of reach the market got for me. I just didn’t want to […]
Counting on the heat pump for humidity control
My dad was always fond of saying it’s not the heat that gets you. It’s the humidity. This was his explanation whenever some visiting guest was stroking out because my dad dragged them outside for something. These poor people only wanted to sit inside the central air conditioning of the house during the blazing mid afternoon. But dad, ever the […]
Christmas was great with my own HVAC
This was the first Christmas that I spent in my house. When you’re a bachelor, you find yourself having to travel each Christmas season. That’s been the case since I have been out on my own. Each year, I would make the trek north to my parent’s house and their over active gas furnace. Those two people love them some […]
Nicer days of air quality coming
It was a real relief when I seen that the air quality forecast for my local city was going to be really nice next week! It is about time because we have been having some real horrid air quality the last few weeks which has been making me and others feel awful. With this nice bout of good and even […]
Converting my ductless mini split
I recently bought a ductless mini split air conditioning system for my den. And I wanted to make it more than just an air conditioning system. I wanted it to be a fully working ductless mini split heating and air conditioning system unit! I knew this was going to cost me even more investment, but I really feel it is […]
My dad is moving in with us and I’m worried about the A/C
My dad is going to be moving in with us this summer and I have to say that I’m a little bit nervous about the fact that he loves his air conditioning so much. We don’t usually use the air conditioning very much and so the fact that he uses the A/C all the time makes me concerned that he […]
We went to dinner at our friends’ house and the furnace was blasting
A couple of times I actually thought about going to the window and opening it a couple of inches just so we could get a breath of fresh air in the room We went to have dinner at our friends’ house the other night and they had the furnace blasting away the whole time that we were there. In my […]
