Preparing the furnace

Even though it is in the middle of summer, I still wanted to make sure that my furnace was going to be set for the winter time. Why didn’t I do this last year, in the fall when most people get their heating and cooling machines looked at? Well, I couldn’t afford it then,and now I can. I feel like my furnace just barely made it through the last winter, and as tempting as it is to wait until winter again before having the heated system looked at, but I know I would forget or put it off until it is too late, and then I could just see myself calling for emergency heating service. So I am just going to avoid that entire issue and get my furnace prepared right now. It is probably a little weird for the heating and cooling specialists too hear someone wants to get their furnace looked at, since usually in the summer everyone is rushing to have their air conditioning system looked at before the peak of the summer hits, but for me, I don’t have to worry about the air conditioning unit, just because I already know my cooling device is working well, although when the cooling specialist comes over it won’t hurt to have the air conditioning device looked at as well. I have already called and scheduled the heating and air conditioning appointment, and the appointment is going to be in the next few days. Then my furnace will officially be set for winter.

The hotel’s fantastic air conditioner

I have always loved visiting hotels.

  • It is funny, because my mom is the complete opposite.

She doesn’t like hotels because she sees them as dirty. While I don’t deny they might be dirty, if you go to a really nice hotel, you won’t run into that problem, which is something usually only cheap hotels have a problem with. I think part of the reason I love to go to hotels is because it allows me to get away from my day to day life, and escape into a different reality. I guess part of that is because I am not very happy with my life, and so escaping into a different reality allows me to relax for a while. One of my most favorite parts about staying at a hotel is the fact that hotels almost always have the best commercial air conditioning. Commercial air conditioning is really powerful and used for businesses. I always loved the ice cold air of hotels, and I noticed I sleep so much better than when I am at my own home. At my own home, the central HVAC is not nearly as nice. My residential heating and cooling is slightly on the older side, and because of that, it is not nearly as efficient as hotel heating and cooling, and my sleep is not nearly as good because of the warmer temperatures. So I always enjoy staying at hotels, even though my stay is often very brief. I am going to be sad to go back home and back to my regular life.

The cooling business was quick and efficient

Sometimes I am surprised at how quick and efficient these cooling businesses can be. I guess they kind of have to be quick and efficient, since their cooling technicians have to deal with multiple heating and A/C appointments every single day. They have to find the issue,repair the issue in enough time to make the next appointment, so I guess they will probably get used to troubleshooting quickly. I had an appointment with the heating and cooling corporation, and my appointment was just for regular HVAC tune ups. The heating and air conditioning professional arrived on time, and started working quickly on getting the cooling init done. Now the thing is, I would usually not like it if business workers were going really quickly, because I would assume that it means they are ont doing a good job. But I know this cooling business well enough to know that they are actually just fast at their jobs and I am thankful for that, because it definitely makes my life really easy. The cooling worker probably took no longer than 30 minutes and then he was done and on his way. My cooling unit worked just fine, and it seemed nice and clean after the cooling professional cleaned it for me, and so I am happy with the job he did. I would definitely recommend the heat and A/C company to anyone looking for a professional HVAC corporation. If you are looking for a fast but efficient company, they are the best.

 

 

a/c care

My portable A/C came in handy

Now you might be wondering about our central heating and air conditioning.

I am sure glad that I had my portable air conditioning machine with me. Technically I always have it with me, because I keep it in the basement of my home. I bought the portable heating and air conditioning machine years ago, and even though I have only used it a few times, I like the reassurance of having it, and being on the safe side, then not having it and needing it. My wife actually thought it was a dumb idea when I first bought it, because she never thought we would use it. She thought it was a waste of money. Well, she was completely dead wrong, because when it comes to the super heated summers that we commonly have, having our portable cooling device is a great idea. Now you might be wondering about our central heating and air conditioning. The thing is our central heat and A/C unit works just fine, but I like to keep our portable cooling unit as a backup in case we ever have any problems.It came in handy this summer, when the temperatures went over 100 degrees, and our central cooling A/C was not enough. The central cooling unit needed a bit of help, so I pulled out the portable HVAC unit. Thankfully, the two of them are enough to get us through the rest of this brutal summer. My wife didn’t want to admit it, no matter how many times I pressed her, she didn’t want to admit having the portable cooling unit was helpful after all.

The family lawyer helped me draft my very first will

Since I have a family now, I have to make plans for the future.

I have to make sure that my kids are protected even if something bad happens to me.

I wanted to make both my grandparents and my brother and sister. I want to make sure that there’s somebody to reach out to my children if god forbid their mother and father passed away at the same time. It’s hard to deal with these realities, but it’s much better if you plan for them ahead of time. I don’t want to think about my kids getting orphaned at a young age, but if that ever happened I need to have the planning in place ahead of time so that they can navigate the process. That’s why I looked for a family lawyer who could draft a will and testament for myself and my wife. That way our kids will be covered legally in the event of our early demise. Our family lawyer is also a state and trust attorney. He helped us set up trust fund accounts for our kids for when we eventually pass. These will come into it and last until they both hit 25 years old. We asked the family lawyer for the best advice we can get on planning our well and all of the trust funds that we set up from our estate. I’m happy that we found a good family lawyer off the internet because some of the family lawyers I’ve dealt with in the past weren’t as good. Just because somebody’s passed the bar and has worked for a law firm for a while doesn’t mean that they’re a good attorney.

Getting a security system after a home invasion

My home was robbed during the middle of a workday.

Multiple residences on our street were burglarized on the same day.

The intruders ran through the home, grabbing items as quickly as possible. They managed to take several hundred dollars in cash, a laptop, an Ipad, Bose headphones and most of my jewelry. The loss of property was upsetting. However, the realization that a stranger had been inside every room in the house was far more stressful. I no longer felt safe in our home. I worried about what would have happened if our teenage daughter was at home by herself at the time of the robbery. I considered getting a dog. I then started researching home security systems. Because of wireless technology, a home security system installs without any remodeling or damage to the home. It can be updated to keep up with evolving features and opportunities quite easily. Plus, we were able to customize aspects of the system to suit our purposes, lifestyle and residence. I like that we now have motion activated lights and surveillance cameras surrounding the perimeter of the residence. My husband and I both receive notifications if anyone shows up anywhere on the property. We can lock and unlock doors by way of an app on our phone. Any unauthorized entry into the home, whether through exterior doors or windows, sets off a very loud alarm. If my husband or I fail to provide the security code, the local authorities are dispatched. I believe that the presence of the security system’s signs on the lawn are a deterrent to an intrusion.

Realizing the importance of duct cleaning

Keeping the pipes clean is good for the reliability, efficiency and longevity of the heating and cooling equipment

I have always been good about taking care of the furnace and air conditioner. Those pieces of equipment were a major investment and are essential just about year round. The temperature in my local area fluctuates anywhere from negative twenty-five to the high eighties. We deal with record-setting snow and brutal humidity. The cost of heating and cooling is responsible for about half of the household energy usage. By regularly changing air filters and scheduling professional maintenance every spring and fall, I hope to keep costs at a minimum. Until about two years ago, I completely neglected the ductwork. Because the network of pipes are concealed behind walls and ceilings, I never considered their importance. The heated or cooled air that my family breathes passes through the ductwork multiple times per day. If dust, dander, mold and other dirt and grime are allowed to accumulate inside the ducts, it restricts airflow. When less air is supplied from the vents, the furnace and air conditioner need to run longer and work harder to achieve the ideal indoor temperature. The more the system operates, the higher my monthly utility bills. There is also the potential of the pollutants getting spread throughout the home. Contaminated indoor air quality creates a health risk. I now make sure to have a licensed HVAC contractor inspect and test the duct system every couple of years. If necessary, the technician provides professional duct cleaning. The process doesn’t take all that long but effectively removes any buildup of debris. Keeping the pipes clean is good for the reliability, efficiency and longevity of the heating and cooling equipment. It elevates comfort and keeps the home cleaner.

Sometimes less HVAC is more

Don’t believe me? Give it a try and you will see exactly what I mean and how well it works

As they say, sometimes less is more. And this even goes for running your central heating and air conditioning system unit. How this goes is that if you do not crank your thermostat and let it keep the house warm or cool as needed, you can actually have better temperature control in your home if you do not crank the thermostat. The air flow if it is good will retain throughout your home and you can have better heating or better air conditioning all while saving on energy use as well. You do not need a portable space heater or a portable air conditioning system unit to help you save money on your monthly energy bills if you just simply do not crank your thermostat and have great air flow coming out of your central heating and air conditioning system unit air vents. In order to ensure this, a good idea is to have your ductwork cleaned every other month or so. This will help your central heating and air conditioning system to give the greatest possible air flow and be able to heat and cooling your home with less heating and air conditioning than you can even imagine. Don’t believe me? Give it a try and you will see exactly what I mean and how well it works. I did not know about this trick until my local and very independent heating and air conditioning worker clued me in and told me all about it. I tried it and I was super shocked at how great it really did work to give better indoor comfort in my nice home.

Had the best luck when buying new HVAC

When I last went to buy a brand new and completely up to date central heating and air conditioning system I ended up getting one heck of a price on it.

I happened to be shopping for a brand new and up to date central heating and air conditioning system unit at my local heating and cooling dealership when I came across the exact central heating and air conditioning unit that I wanted to buy.

Once I seen the price and how it was on sale I nearly fell over with shock! I could not believe it! I simply could not believe it! I really truthfully could not believe the fact that the exact central heating and air conditioning system unit that I wanted to buy was on sale for more than half off the regular price that it usually goes for. I would say that I had the very best in luck when I was last shopping for a central heating and air conditioning system. You could probably imagine how I fell over nearly when I realized that I was going to be able to save a few thousand bucks on the brand new, up to date, very powerful and usually very expensive central heating and air conditioning system unit that I was going to buy that day! I hopped right on it and purchased that central heating and cooling system unit and then scheduled the time for the local heating and cooling company to send out a certified heating and air conditioning specialist to install my brand new and extreme up to date central heat and a/c unit!

The cooling system failed on us

It had been such an amazing trip and we were delighted to have found time to get away from the crazy city.

My partner and I have these friends who own a cottage in the mountains and they charge folks to stay there as a trip rental type of arrangement.

When we both were thinking about where we wanted to go, we asked if the cottage was available. To be honest, they always have full bookings for most of the year no matter the season. But, we were lucky, a couple had canceled their two week trip and they said we could take the open slot. That was exactly what my pal and I needed, to spend time in a serene location with amazing air quality. Then it was time to get back home and to work. When we both arrived we observed our cooling system had failed and it was still July. So, we couldn’t ignore fixing the bad cooling system until later. The best option was to contact a heating and cooling corporation for assistance. They sent a cooling expert to our home to inspect and repair the faulty cooling system, and come to find out a clogged drain line had caused the cooling system to fail. The cooling expert took her time removing all the algae and also cleaned the cooling system. She went ahead to upgrade the air filter and our component was back to normal in no time. My partner and I have plans to upgrade the heating and cooling system in our home, however that’s not going to be this year. That’s why we both were delighted the heating expert managed to repair our faulty cooling system.
