After the sun set, the temperature finally dropped and my friend and I were able to sleep soundly

Well I just had the most interesting third of July of my entire life. I never could have planned for such a wild ride or a great time. I’m really glad with how it all turned out though. This past week I went running off to the mountains with my friends to visit a poorly described family cabin. They told me it was a cool little lake house, despite the fact that I particularly had no idea what to expect when my friend and I arrived. We drove about two hours north into the rolling orange mountains, and abruptly pulled off the interstate on a rougher road. The road went looping around through the mountainside, passed houses of all shapes and sizes. I truly had no clue what was about to happen.. And after that my friend and I arrived at the most great lake home in the world. The site is like a tree home on the water. It’s a dream come true. We spent the next several hours playing in the sizzling lake and having a few drinks.… Only to arrive back at the home and find that the cooling system had quit in our absence. Apparently a giant branch fell on the central A/C system, and the whole thing was kaput. WE were pretty bummed considering it was over 100 degrees out at midday, however decided to make the most of it. It’s not like my friend and I were going to get an Heating and A/C worker out on the premises on the holiday, anyways. So my friend and I settled in. We threw more budweiser in the freezer and laid back. After the sun set, the temperature finally dropped and my friend and I were able to sleep soundly. There’s no doubt that the ice freezing budweiser helped, either.

My friend and I threw more heineken in the freezer plus laid back

Well I just had the most interesting eighth of August of my entire life. I never could have planned for such a wild ride or a superb time. I’m definitely blissful with how it all turned out though. This past week I went running off to the mountains with my friends to visit a poorly described family cabin. They told me it was a cool little lake house, but I unquestionably had no idea what to expect when my buddy and I arrived. My friend and I drove about two hours north into the rolling orange mountains, plus suddenly pulled off the interstate on a rougher road. The road went looping around through the mountainside, passed houses of all shapes plus sizes. I sincerely had no clue what was about to happen.. And then my buddy and I arrived at the most appealing lake house in the world. The locale is like a tree house on the water. It’s a dream come true. My friend and I spent the next multiple hours playing in the warm lake plus having a few drinks.. Only to arrive back at the house plus find that the cooling system had quit in our absence. Apparently a large branch fell on the central A/C system, plus the whole thing was kaput. WE were pretty bummed considering it was over 100 degrees out at midday, but decided to make the most of it. It’s not like my buddy and I were going to get an Heating plus A/C company out on the premises on the holiday, anyways. So my buddy and I settled in. My friend and I threw more heineken in the freezer plus laid back. After the sun set, the temperature finally dropped plus my buddy and I were able to sleep soundly. There’s no doubt that the ice cold heineken helped, either.

I have a extreme human rights issue that needs to be addressed.

No one is taking it seriously, but I have decided to take action on it myself.

I’m talking about working conditions in the deep south. More particularally, I’m talking about making people work without any AC in their craft brewery. See, I work in a small brewery down in the sizzling and sweaty south. Every afternoon when I report to work, I walk through the production floor where the brew is made and shudder with discomfort as I consider the environment. It’s industrial and hot. Incredibly hot. The entire place is open air to the outdoor heat and there is not a whisp of AC to be found. Since the space is repeatedly heated for the sake of making beer, it’s evidently too extravagant for them to close the damn roll doors and put in a giant industrial AC unit. I’ve looked into it, the cheapest models run a few tens of thousands of dollars and replacement is similar. So I understand it’s an investment. But I also understand the importance of keeping your employees alive. When it’s 95 degrees or warmer all summer time long, it seems like a real working hazard to make your people lift heavy bags and lean over tepid liquids. I’ve tried to bring the production boys together to form a heat strike, however most people needs the hours to spend money the bills. I mean, it’s all I can do to try to help. I walk right through the heat and rest in a perfectly air conditioned office, anyways.

My mother is such a funny character.

She’s the sweetest little lady and she cares so much about her children.

However, she’s also a total nut task. She’s one of the most neurotic and stressed out humans I’ve ever met. No matter what is going on in her world, she’s pretty riled up about it. That’s why I shouldn’t be surprised that she’s currently up in arms about the summer time weather. She lives in the northern midwest where the weather is less than ideal. Most of the year it is quite cold and snowy there. She spends every afternoon going outside and caring for sizable horses in the tundra. She battles feet of snow, blustery wind, and falling ice. She layers up in clothing to protect against the brutal cold and chance of frostbite. She stomps through an arctic wasteland for 6 months of the year, and complains about it every single afternoon. It’s understandable that she doesn’t cherish the brutal cold and winter weather, however you would guess that another season might make her happier. That isn’t the case. Last week, my mom’s weather finally transitioned from winter to summer, and she is not cheerful. She’s been calling me every afternoon, complaining endlessly about the absurd heat and humidity. It’s over 73 degrees here, she says in a panic. I’m so sweaty and miserable, I don’t know how I’m going to make it out in the sun this week, she says dramatically. I laugh, as I turn down my control component in the deep south, and brace for the 100 degree air temperature outside.

I know I shouldn’t be surprised. I definitely should expect this, and should have no negative feelings about this fact. However, I can’t help but to feel disgruntled and defeated with this most recent development. What’s going on, you ask? My upstairs level of my home is ungodly hot. Again. Yes, I have lived in a home with a similar floor plan before, and yes, the hot air accumulation upstairs was exactly the same. I know I was naive to think that our air quality would be any different in this new home, but I guess I fell victim to wishful thinking. Rather than entering our brand new home with the reasonable expectation that our upstairs bedrooms would constantly be ten degrees warmer than the rest of the house, no matter the thermostat settings, I really hoped that a higher quality cooling system and home construction would circumvent this air quality nightmare. Well, dreams don’t always come true. It turns out that our top floor is just as hot and humid as could be. Sure, it doesn’t help that our AC unit is well over 10 years old, but I’m also pretty sure that the lack of attic insulation isn’t helping our cause either. Whenever the home inspector stuck his head up into the attic, he let us know that that present insulation was in poor shape. There was little heat being trapped inside or outside of the home with the 2 inches of old insulation present, and he suggested we have it replaced immediately for energy efficiency. Well, we had good intentions in demanding that the seller replaced the insulation, but they had their own ideas about energy expenditure. By that, I mean they spent as little energy as possible to install yet another layer of poor quality insulation. Now the home is all ours, and our top floor is still as hot as ever.

You know what I’ve realized? Humans aren’t the only things that have unhealthy circulatory systems.

Sure, we’re prone to having congested heart failure, poor breathing quality, and hypertensive blood pressure, mostly due to poor lifestyle.

However, as easy as it is to rag on human beings and our inability to care for ourselves, we aren’t the only things that don’t work at maximal efficiency in this way. Actually, the older I get, the more I understand that it’s super hard to find a home with good circulation. As a child, I remember our home having a great deal of natural ventilation. We could open the windows in every room in order to establish a refreshing breeze of pure outdoor air, fresh off the corn fields that surrounded our town. There was no lack of high quality natural air in the house, and I accepted this as the norm. However, in every place I’ve lived ever since, there has not been the same quality of delightful outdoor air ventilation. I have consistently felt as though my windows were faulty, they allowed so little air movement between the indoor and outdoor spaces. No matter if one window is open, or every single path outdoors is accessible, there’s nearly no ventilation. This means we are continually running our indoor HVAC system to manage the air quality in our home. We never get to experience fresh, natural air indoors, and our energy bills never catch a break even during the comfortable seasons. I’m no home health expert, but I would recommend that contractors and architects take a closer look at the congestion that seems to plague our modern homes. It would be healthier for my bank account and breathing if we could get some fresh air in here.

 

 

Local HVAC

A few weeks ago my husband and I wandered into a house for sale, not knowing exactly what to expect.

We’ve already been searching for a new home for months, and the prospects haven’t been amazing so far.

It was easy to become disillusioned and defeated before even entering the premises of the new property, and we were certainly feeling downtrodden as we entered the foyer that day. To our complete amazement, the house was everything we expected and more! For once, the listing was accurate and fair, and we were getting a good vibe from this huge brick home. As we wandered upstairs, I saw something that thrilled me even more than the fantastic sunroom, updated kitchen, and hardwood floors… a whole house fan! You may not have ever encountered a whole house fan before, but trust me when I say that they totally rule. I actually grew up with this effective ventilation method, and have never seen another enormous whole house fan ever since we moved out of my childhood home 15 years ago. When we entered the top floor and I caught a glimpse of the flat ventilation panels in the ceiling, I shrieked with excitement. “Do you know what this is?!” I questioned my husband. He didn’t, and I soon gushed about the ventilation mechanism and it’s amazing ability to pull in fresh outdoor air from every window and door at once. This process effectively refreshes the house, providing cool and natural outdoor air with a negative pressure vacuum it creates. I was so stoked about this hidden gem that I was ready to pull the trigger, making an offer on the home right then. It was only after we flipped the switch, and realized the whole house fan wasn’t actually connected to a power source, that I calmed back down.

Heating and cooling service

It makes sense, with so many huge trees in our backyard, there are often branches falling down from the heavens and landing dangerously close to our cool air lifeline.

I am so in love with the area that we live in. I didn’t really think I would like it here when we moved last year – honestly, I expected the worst. My old home state was located in the midwest, where the air temperatures varied from -10 to 110 throughout the year and life was very difficult. Still, I was accustomed to the horrific weather patterns, continual feeling of survival, and flat farmland that surrounded me. Moving down south, I had many concerns about the heat and humidity that I would be experiencing instead. What I never considered about the area, though, was the prevalence of tall and dense tree cover. Not only do these tall forests provide a great deal of protection from the pounding summer sun, but they are incredibly beautiful. After living in one home with the most amazing woodland views, I can never consider going back to flat and boring scenery again. However, there is one point where the huge trees intersect with the need for AC in a bad way; there is a huge tendency for residential cooling systems to be damaged by falling tree limbs. It makes sense, with so many huge trees in our backyard, there are often branches falling down from the heavens and landing dangerously close to our cool air lifeline. In the past year, we’ve seen our AC system take at least 3 heavy blows from large limbs. Thankfully for us, the good ole cooling unit has stayed fully operational, but she’s not looking so great these days. I figure, if AC damage is the tradeoff for having cooling, wonderfully beautiful trees all around me, I’ll gladly take that air quality risk.

 

Commercial air conditioning

I am pretty much always looking for ways to save money.

It really becomes an addiction at a certain point, when you see your bank account increasing after making relatively minor life changes.

Nothing is more satisfying to me than the steady climb of my savings account, and I’m keeping my eyes open every day for new ideas to promote this goal. That’s why I’m sort of on the fence about HVAC maintenance. See, I clearly understand how important it is to take excellent care of your AC unit and furnace. There’s no doubt that having a professional HVAC technician visit your heating and cooling equipment several times a year is the most foolproof plan for keeping your indoor air handling machinery in tiptop shape. Not only will the heating and cooling system directly benefit from having professional diagnostics run, as well as a detailed cleaning of all the internal temperature control components, but your energy bills will be greatly affected as well. The HVAC company suggests that routine heating and cooling service will reduce your energy bills by at least 20% over the lifespan of your temperature control equipment, and I trust this figure. My question is, how does this amount of money compare to the cost of having a routine HVAC service contract for ten years? Am I really saving money by paying for professional air temperature service? Is there a way to reap the benefits of regular HVAC diagnostics without the service calls? I’m about to find out, I have my first date with a local HVAC technician tonight.

Sometimes you just luck out, and that’s the truth.

• I never expect to have nice things handed to me, but there are a few occasions when life just works out in the best way possible.

It’s never predictable, and usually this turn of luck happens when I least expect it to. For instance, most recently, when we were desperately house hunting for our prized dream home and the universe just sort of handed us the perfect home. Let me explain. We’ve been searching on a competitive housing market for a real gem, but have been limited to stay within a very unglamorous budget. Of course it’s easy to get discouraged after months of failure, but then the world provided the best house possible for us! Not only does the home have a nice yard, outdoor hang spaces, and a ton of room, but the HVAC system has just been updated, the windows were just upgraded to energy efficient models, and the air ducts have been fully replaced. These energy efficient upgrades are enormous money savers for us, now and in the future. We won’t have to worry about the coming costs of a brand new heating and cooling system, air ductwork installation, or home renovations for insulation purposes. This was already a huge help for our strict budget and foreseeable energy expenditure costs, but it gets even better! Another requirement for our new home was a designated workspace for myself – and this home came with a huge two car garage. The space is ideal for my messy artwork, and best of all, the garage was retrofitted with direct HVAC vents straight from the new air handling equipment. Now I’ll be perfectly warm or cool all day while I work my heart out. Thanks to these HVAC upgrades, it really couldn’t have worked out better.
