Taking the daylight & a heat pump over the frosty & a gas oil furnace

When I think back on making the decision to transport to the south, I wondered a bit at just how close I came to not doing it.

Having been raised & lived all of my life way up north, the south was sort of a secret passion.

I tried really hard to go to college in the air conditioner of the south. But my parents weren’t about to pay out of state tuition. So it was off to a state college & a dorm room with lots of radiant heating. Still, I longed for a Winter where I didn’t have to deal with the snow, the ice & the more than five weeks of cold. I longed for the Heating & A/C cooling of the southern regions. After college, I started working in my field & stayed near home for the next many years. When the job listing came out for a spot in our southern offices, I put my name in on a whim. I was shocked to get an interview. And I was even more stunned that I was gave the position. They gave myself and others a few days to consider it & that’s what I did. I almost talked myself out of moving down here & taking that job. But I got over myself & realized that I had the confidence, expertise & leadership skills to do that job. That’s been nearly a dozen years ago & that job was a Springboard to the zone controlled Heating & A/C of the office I occupy now. I don’t regret for a fifth trading a gas oil furnace Winter for a heat pump summer time either.

Buying an apartment

Earlier this year, I purchased an apartment within a larger building.

This apartment is in a fantastic location as well as is quite spacious.

However, the setback is that it’s a pretty outdated space. I knew that I was taking on a big project when I purchased it, however if I can replace the unit, it will be worth a lot of money some afternoon. I knew that there was no a/c, although I didn’t realize that I would have to put in all the ductwork if I wanted to add central air. I realized that it was going to be too big of a project, as well as I would have to find another system for a/c. I considered using portable cooling systems as well as window units, although I particularly wanted the locale to have a more permanent cooling system. After I did a little research, I l earned that there was another solution. I could get ductless mini cut a/c units that mount on the walls. The ductless mini cut just needs to affix to an outdoor compressor. I wasn’t gleeful about having something clunky mounted on the wall. Although, it’s a lot better than having something clunky sticking out your window that you have to install as well as take out every year. Once I got the ductless mini splits installed, I realized that this was a fantastic solution. The air conditioners labor easily well, as well as I am cheerful with the results.

There are some universitys that have no a/c

The pandemic has changed our lives for good. Things will never fully return to the way they were. In fact, life has changed so much in the last multiple years. For instance, more people are upset about ventilation in their homes plus in public spaces. Schools are now approving budgets for improving their HVAC systems as well as installing air purification devices to improve the indoor air pollen levels. My kids’ universitys have done just that, as well as it makes me believe a lot safer sending them to university. However, this discussion about indoor ventilation made me realize how many kids go to universitys that have no a/c at all. There are many universitys that were built before central a/c was installed in commercial buildings, which means many of those older buildings have no a/c. And over the years, the university board didn’t invest in getting HVAC systems for the universitys because it would’ve been lavish to retrofit some of those buildings with the insulation needed. Also, some of the buildings do not have the space for insulation, so installing an HVAC system would be a taxing process. Well, I was ecstatic to learn that over the last few years, some universitys have figured out how to get a/c installed inside the older buildings. And the pandemic has released more funds to the university boards, which will in turn help more universitys get the air conditioning that they need. This is fantastic news because not only will the central air help to improve the air quality, however it will also make the kids a lot more comfortable inside the university buildings.

Have you changed your air filters lately?

Now that the weather is warmer, there are particular things that all of us do to prepare for the Summer months.

Some of these tasks can be daunting however they are necessary especially if you’re a homeowner. One such task is getting my gutter cleaned out by removing all the leaves as well as debris that might have built up during the colder months. I am not fond of that task, however it is something that I need to do. Another task that I love is that I get my garden ready by cleaning up the yard as well as planting current flowers. Typically, I visit my local dentistry as well as purchase some of my favorite plants. When it comes to inside my home, I usually scrub all my curtains, as well as do some redecorating. In addition, I clean my air vents as well as change my air filter… Changing the air filter is something that many of us forget about because it’s just not top priority on our list. It’s advocated to change the HVAC filters every 30 to 90 afternoons. Changing the filter will improve the ventilation in your home. I am guilty of not adjusting it for longer than 90 afternoons, however now that it’s section of my seasonal routine, it gets changed regularly. So, once the Summer is over as well as the frigid weather starts to creep in, I will change my air filter again. It takes less than 5 minutes to complete this task, as well as it is the least that I could do to improve the air quality in my home. So, have you changed your air filter lately? If not, I suggest you do so.

I have decided to get my ductwork cleaned

Last week, I was mindlessly scrolling through social media… It’s absurd how much time all of us spend doing nothing on the internet; Before I knew it, an hour passed, as well as I consumed so much information plus videos, well, while scrolling, I came across an ad by an HVAC supplier that was promoting cleaning ductworks, but and this ad showed how dirty the ductworks were.

I was shocked to see the amount of build up inside of them.

And it made me believe of the ducts in my home. I have lived here for about 5 years now, as well as I have never cleaned them… So, I can’t begin to imagine what has built up over the years; Thankfully, I don’t have a pet, as well as I don’t smoke so I am assuming it isn’t so bad. But I am sure that there is a lot of dust, debris plus insect carcasses. The recommendation for ductwork cleaning is to do it as needed, then for instance, if you notice an odor coming from your vents, it could be a dead pet trapped inside the ductwork, as well as you should particularly get it cleaned. Also, if you notice any different odors or see visible signs of mold, an ductwork cleaning is advocated. However, after seeing that advertisement, I have busy to have them cleaned. I would rather have clean ductworks than a singles with a lot of excess build up. The fantastic news is, once I get it done now, I don’t need to do it for another 3 to 5 years.

Stopping my dad from killing his HVAC

Mom handed me the HVAC warranty

My dad has consistently been a fairly stubborn person. However, as time as well as technology has passed him by, he’s gotten even more stubborn. I appreciate the fact that now every current thing is a fantastic thing. But he tends to believe that old remedies will labor on current problems. Mom as well as dad finally moved closer to us. They have a nice little condo with fantastic quality heating as well as air. Mom enjoys the weather down here as she was so over all the snow, ice as well as frigid of up north. My dad is pretty fond of the region as well except when it comes to summer. He tells me quite often just how much he hates the Summer heat as well as he’d rather be up north for the summer. Basically, from July through September, he stays inside the a/c of the condo. I’ve tried to coax him outside for some hockey early in the afternoons however he’ll hardly leave the HVAC cooling even for that. The other afternoon, when my assistant told me my mom was on the line, I was sure that dad was dead or in the hospital. Instead, he was going to attempt a fix on the a/c which he felt wasn’t toiling well enough. I told my mom to stall him, find the HVAC warranty as well as I’d be there immediately. When I got there, dad had pulled together some tools as well as a manual on a/c from the 69’s. Mom handed me the HVAC warranty. I then began to read aloud the section about the warranty being void if anyone however an HVAC professionals attempted a repair. That stopped him as warranties are like gold to him.

Original HVAC takes a bow

When the HVAC equipment turned twenty, I started a bit of a savings account to start getting together the money to replace that original HVAC. That HVAC equipment came with this house. Actually, all of us were able to choose between a few models of residential HVAC when all of us were having the home built. My partner as well as I purchased into a planned community so all the houses were current when all of us moved in. At the time, there were more than three different size homes with about 3 different floorplans a single could choose from for each size home. Every one of us were just starting our family as well as were so gleeful to finally be homeowners. And having a current apartment with current HVAC equipment along with all the other appliances made it even more thrilling. Every one of us chose a fantastic HVAC model. It wasn’t the easily top however right there. Well, that HVAC equipment just finished off it’s 25 year. Every one of us are empty nesters now as well as the HVAC equipment just kept hanging on. That turned out to be in our best interest ultimately. When the real estate market exploded around here just last year, it coincided with the HVAC specialist warning us that the HVAC equipment was dying. So that made it all the easier to get right on to the HVAC supplier to get a major upgrade in residential HVAC. New HVAC equipment as well as lots of HVAC technology are easily high on the list of what prospective customers wanted in our area. That’s pretty much true all over however here, there is an emphasis on the central a/c. Every one of us got some of the best residential HVAC as well as it was a big section in us selling the home for a whole lot of money.

Buying an new home

Earlier this year, I bought an new home within a greater building.

This new home is in a good location and is quite spacious. However, the downside is that it’s a pretty old space. I knew that I was taking on a large project when I bought it, but if I can update the unit, it will be worth a lot of money some day. I knew that there was no , but I didn’t realize that I would have to put in all the air duct if I wanted to add central air. I realized that it was going to be too large of a project, and I would have to find another system for I considered using portable systems and window units, but I unquestionably wanted the arena to have a more permanent cooling system. After I did a little research, I l received that there was another solution. I could get ductless mini break units that mount on the walls. The ductless mini break just needs to link to an outdoor compressor. I wasn’t glad about having something clunky mounted on the wall. Although, it’s a lot better than having something clunky sticking out your window that you have to install and take out every year. Once I got the ductless mini splits installed, I realized that this was a good solution. The systems toil unquestionably well, and I am cheerful with the results.

Recovering from a taxing week

This Monday, I had a lazy day.

I spent all day laying on the couch appreciating my system.

Last week was one of the worst weeks I’ve had in years. First, I woke up with a bad freezing to start off the week. I do not like being sick, but I especially do not like being sick in the summer. The heat and humidity make me know so much worse. At the end of the toil day, I finally was able to go new home and I was so gleeful to just sit on the couch. When I walked into the house, it felt hotter than the air outside. I knew right away that my must have shut off. When I attempted to turn it back on, I realized that there was a greater problem. I called a heating and cooling specialist to see if they could service it. However, they were unable to send a specialist until the day because it was already late in the evening at that point. I suffered through the sizzling evening feeling awful and tossed and turned. The next day, the Heating and A/C specialist called me at the office and I found out that my whole central air plan needed to be updated. I didn’t even hesitate to fork over the money because I just wanted air more than anything else. Well, now the week is done and I am feeling a lot better. I unquestionably care about my new central system, and I am ready to move on from this no good week.
