Our new home has a ductless mini-split AC

After a year in a home without air conditioning, we finally had enough savings to afford a home with an HVAC installation. Of course, it wasn’t a mansion, but enough for our small family, so it wasn’t a problem that the house we had was equipped with a ductless mini-split unit to help with indoor […]

The window air conditioner didn’t fit in my window

I really appreciate it whenever my cousin offers to give me something from his house. The last time it was a perfectly working LED screen TV that he no longer needed because he had upgraded to a bigger model. That was an exciting weekend because it meant I could finally have a bigger television myself. […]

Cleaning a condensate line with bleach

Stick to typical sense for it

It’s not rocket science. That’s the thing that stays in the back of my head when I see all these strategies for a better life. There is so much of just making things complicated that are entirely quite easy… One great example is splitting air conditioning costs in the Summer; For sure, I’m all for […]

The radiant heat from the Sun makes my roof get quite hot

That radiant heat from the sun will make the roof in the Attic considerably hot! Since the ventilation system for our Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C system is situated in the attic, the HVAC duct is consistently hot by default… We’re always putting cold air through dunk work that’s exposed to so much heat We’ve had […]
