Every day at dawn

People say that morning time is always the best when it comes to temperatures and air quality in the summer months of the year. However this is not the case where I live. Over here, the air quality is always horrible at the crack of dawn until about mid afternoon. The bad heat on top of things doesn’t help. This is the main reason I went out and bought a whole home air purification system. The whole home air purification system actually helps deter the bad air quality on those summer mornings right out of my home. The other beauty of the whole home air purification system is that it runs at the same time through and with my central heating and air conditioning system. This makes it so I can run my central air conditioning to combat the bad heat and get my house cleaned of all bad air quality all at the same time! It really is a miracle piece of HVAC technology with this whole home air purification system. It was not a cheap investment by any means, but it is really useful and needed on those warm summer mornings when the air quality takes a major dive. By having this whole home air purification system I never need worry bout any of that bad air quality getting inside my happy home. A home is a happy home if you make it that way. And that is exactly how I treat my home and intend on keeping it! And the whole home air purification system assists in this hard task that most have to deal with this time of year with the air quality.

Bees take shelter

I was quite taken back when I found out that inside my central heating and air conditioning system unit there were bees living in there! I found this out when I was cleaning my yard the other day and I seen a bunch of them hanging around my central heating and cooling unit.

I took a close look and found that they were flying in and out of it.

I knew then that it was time to call an exterminator. I know bees have the right to live, but not inside my central heating and air conditioning system unit! So I called the extermination company and had them send out someone to kill and get rid of all the bees in there. It was quite a dangerous task. The extermination team had to wear a bee suit and then carefully remove the grates and cover of the central heating and air conditioning system unit. Then once they did that there were bees all over going nuts! If he had not been wearing a bee suit, he would have been dead for sure! So he sprayed the entire HVAC unit and then once he got the bees to flee away and go elsewhere he destroyed the hive that they had built in there, which had even more bees in it! When all was said and done he suggested that although the bees were gone and shouldn’t come back with the poison that he put all around, that I should still do something to protect the central heat and a/c unit, like a cover or something. I took his advice and did just that.

The Best Thing I Can Do Is Hire an Heating & A/C Professional

Most of my friends and family members care about this time of year, where the leaves are increasing and the temperatures are cooling down.

Even though it’s the beginning of November, I’ve already seen a lot of homes in my neighborhood with pumpkins on their doorsteps.

I wouldn’t say that I hate this time of year, although I strongly don’t like it for reasons that most wouldn’t guess. I care about the cooler temperatures and the increasing leaves, however this regularly signals an Heating & A/C tune up. Whether I love it or not, I have my Heating & A/C idea tuned twice per year: once in the Spring and once in the fall! Most people who have their Heating & A/C idea tested biannually do it, because it ensures that their Heating & A/C systems are taken care of and running as efficiently as possible. I, on the other hand, have my Heating & A/C idea tested biannually because if I don’t, my already horribly inefficient Heating & A/C idea will consume even more energy and cost myself and others a luck to run. It also means that there’s a 90% chance something will split down, causing myself and others to spend my money an emergency service cost, which is never cheap. My Heating & A/C idea is seasoned and it needs to be substituted, however I’m not in a financial position to substitute it quite yet. The best thing I can do is spend my money for the biannual Heating & A/C tune ups and pray that the equipment runs smoothly until my next Heating & A/C tune up. I’m not sure how much longer I can keep residing love this.

A Window AC Unit To Hold Me Over

Out of sheer desperation, I went to the local box store plus purchased a window AC unit. It was the middle of the night when our AC went out, leaving myself and others in a hot plus humid home. The hot plus cold temperatures were rising past 88 every day plus the humidity was thick, making the air guess sweaty plus wet. My first reaction was to call the HVAC corporation, however when they told myself and others the cost of an emergency HVAC appointment, I told them to put myself and others on the correct schedule. I assumed that they’d be able to send an HVAC professional to our house the following day. I could survive a day or two without air conditioner! However, when the HVAC contractor told myself and others that they were booked for two weeks, I was stunned! I didn’t want to pay the emergency HVAC cost because it was fancy, plus there was no telling how much more it would cost to service our AC unit. I put our name on the schedule anyway, however decided to purchase a window AC device to hold myself and others over. There was no way I could live without AC for two weeks, especially in the summer. The window AC device was fancy, but I planned on returning it after our broken AC device was fixed! Luckily, the local box store had a fabulous return policy that would allow myself and others to cool our home until the HVAC contractor could get to me. I would pay a few hundred dollars upfront, then get that money back as soon as I returned the window AC unit.

There Were 3 Zoned Thermostats

When someone tried to adjust all 3 control component settings, they’d get caught as well as someone else would become defensive about the temperature

I adore taking trips with our extended family every year. Typically, all of us visit a National Park or travel abroad, but this year, all of us decided to try something different, and nobody felt love traveling far, so all of us decided to book a cabin for numerous nights. I was honestly happy for the family trip, but things took a turn abruptly. The thing about our family is that all of us all like peculiar temperatures at night, then usually, the control component is always changed whenever someone has a moment alone with it. This time though, it wasn’t possible as well as it created chaos. The cabin was so huge that there were 3 zones with 3 separate control units. The owners of the apartment insisted that all 3 control units remain at the same temperature. If one was changed, then the 2 other zones would fight to keep up as well as the Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C system would run always. There was one control component upstairs, one downstairs, as well as one in the primary ensuite. Nobody could change the control component settings without communicating it, which created a huge problem. Nobody could agree on a temperature for the cabin as well as a huge fight broke out. When someone tried to adjust all 3 control component settings, they’d get caught as well as someone else would become defensive about the temperature. It was so bad as well as I thought some family members were going to leave completely. Thankfully, nobody truly left. After the trip though, our extended family vowed to never book a vacation rental with more than 2 zoned control units because it wouldn’t end well!

Issues with the central heating system at the office: The people I was with and I got a free day

The day started with an early day meeting! The boardroom was honestly cold, I wondered why, as the day progressed, all of us discovered that the central heating system had malfunctioned. This threw the entire office in a Wintertide zone, but it was getting uncomfortable to even work. I remember I had just busy a oil furnace/heater tune-up a few weeks back. I wondered why the heating system had stopped laboring. It was upon myself and others being the administrator to get the issue resolved. I contacted the Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C repairman to check as well as do any boiler repairs. The people I was with and I had just installed the quality Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C boiler a year ago as well as so I knew it was not about an issue with wearing out of the seemingly new Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C equipment. The oil oil furnace was still honestly new as well as the heating technology still functioned honestly well. The heating supplier found out that the heat exchanger was broken as well as covered in rust. The oil furnace filter was also dirty as well as was replaced. This was the same issue all of us had dealt with when it came to the electric oil furnace of the previous office; Before the component was fixed, all of us had to send everyone lake house as the atmosphere was not conducive for laboring. It was love a free day as well as to make the situation even better the following day was the start of a honestly long weekend. I made sure the issue was fixed before the weekend started as I had planned a trip with our sibling. The worker advocated that I could purchase several filters from the heating as well as cooling provider as well as store them to be replaced after every 30 to 90 afternoons, then work month resumed as well as I was ecstatic to suppose that the issue had been fixed as well as all was well.

There Were 3 Zoned Thermostats

I appreciate taking trips with my extended family every year.

Typically, all of us visit a National Park or travel abroad, but this year, all of us decided to try something different; Nobody felt appreciate traveling far, so all of us decided to book a cottage for five nights. I was really gleeful for the family trip, but things took a turn abruptly. The thing about my family is that all of us all love odd un-even temperatures at night! Usually, the temperature control is always changed whenever someone has a moment alone with it. This time though, it wasn’t possible plus it created chaos. The cottage was so substantial that there were 3 zones with 3 separate temperature controls. The owners of the beach house insisted that all 3 temperature controls remain at the same temperature. If one was changed, then the 2 other zones would argument to keep up plus the Heating & Air Conditioning system would run always. There was one temperature control upstairs, one downstairs, plus one in the primary ensuite. Nobody could change the temperature control settings without communicating it, which created a substantial problem. Nobody could agree on a temperature for the cottage plus a substantial argument broke out. When someone tried to adjust all 3 temperature control settings, they’d get caught plus someone else would become defensive about the temperature. It was so awful plus I thought some family members were going to leave completely. Thankfully, nobody absolutely left. After the trip though, my extended family vowed to never book a getaway rental with numerous zoned temperature controls because it wouldn’t end well!

My brother is focused on HVAC work

My kid brother Mike has been a screw up for most of his life.

He had stayed with me before, crashing on my couch for a few days up to a few weeks, before drifting away.

Sometimes he just disappears without saying goodbye, and I don’t hear from him until he needs a place to stay again. I was trying to break the cycle, but this time Mike is motivated. He has a plan, he wants to really work for a living instead of partying, so I said he could crash in the garage. He has started taking night classes for HVAC repair at the city college, and is working part time with a local contractor to pay for them. He seems focused on studying, so he can get his HVAC certification, so I said it was okay to sleep in the garage for a few months. Much to my surprise he started doing homework in the form of bringing home old air conditioning pieces to take apart and put back together. He really wanted to learn heating and cooling systems from the inside out which shows me how seriously he is taking this. He asked if he could look at my home HVAC system, and I said that he could look but not mess around with it. One day I believe Mike will be the one and only HVAC tech who works in my home, but that day has not arrived just yet. We will see what happens in two months, when he takes the big HVAC certification exam.

My second winter out in the wilderness

I had the optimistic confidence of someone who didn’t know what he was doing.

Only the wise people know what to worry about, it’s the young ones that think they have everything covered.

After a year of living here in this cabin, I have learned so much. It makes me realize how ignorant I was at first, and how unprepared! That first winter was touch and go at times, because of my poor preparation, but thankfully I am wiser now. I started prepping for this winter weeks ago, and I think I am in a good position with my firewood. A wood burning furnace uses a lot more wood than you would expect. My first winter I didn’t have nearly enough firewood, but since I had a nice space heater I thought I would be okay. The electricity for the heater ran out when the gas for the generator ran out. It also had a solar option, but there hadn’t been any sunlight in weeks, so the space heater was basically worthless. I had to hustle to keep the furnace fed, and I will be honest, there were a couple of weeks where all I did was chop wood, sleep, and eat. This winter things will be a little easier, because of my wood supply, but also I have a much more ample gas supply, so my trusty space heater can work longer than it did last year. It gives me peace of mind to know I have multiple heating sources to keep me toasty warm through this long winter.
