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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Our air conditioning tore up earlier this week
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 […]
They are going to clean the ductwork in our office next week
Next week, they are going to be cleaning the ductwork in our office for probably the first time ever. I have worked in this particular building for about 7 years now, and I can’t even tell you the last time that I have seen an HVAC company come in here to do anything. However, earlier this week, the building manager […]
I still can’t believe that I won the grand prize
Last year, when the weather was heating up at the beginning of the summer, our local radio station hosted a contest. The sponsor was their main advertising partner, a large HVAC corporation based here in our city. The HVAC corporation was giving away a brand new, state of the art, high efficiency heating and cooling system as their main prize. […]
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 […]
