Adulting can be such a daunting experience. On any given afternoon, there are so many things that need to get done. They include work, cooking, cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, paying bills, and more. There are also tasks that need to be performed on an as needed or on a seasonal schedule. For instance, Anna gets her gutters cleaned once per year, and she also pressure cleans her beach house once per year as well. One important task that Anna always does is to have her Heating, Ventilation & A/C equipment worked on once per year with a licensed Heating, Ventilation & A/C dealer. Getting her equipment worked on once per year, will guarantee that it is functioning efficiently. It will also extend the life of the heating and AC unit, while keeping her home as comfortable as possible. Aside from the service, Anna also performs seasonal tasks on her Heating, Ventilation & A/C unit. They include changing the filters every 30 days, cleaning debris away from the outdoor condenser, and cleaning any excess dust or buildup from the air conditioner vents. Although it’s not necessary, Annah has the ductwork cleaned out. These seasonal tasks are just as important as the everyday mundane tasks, so she tries her best to get them done. If it were up to Anna, she would flip a switch and all these tasks that come with being an adult would be done immediately. But until she gets to that point, she will continue to perform these weekly, yearly, and seasonal tasks. Afterall, they are part of the deal when it comes to being an adult and they will always be daunting tasks.

A ceiling fan can save you money on your energy bill
Did you know that a ceiling fan could save you money on your energy bill? According to the experts, if you use a ceiling fan and your Heating, Ventilation & A/C unit, you can raise the temperature on the thermostat by up to 4 degrees without sacrificing any comfort. So, not only are ceiling fans stylish, but they can also put some money in your pocket. We use a ceiling fan when we go to bed, and we can confirm that since we have been using the fan, we can sleep comfortably with our thermostat set to 72 degrees. Prior to getting our ceiling fan installed, we slept with the thermostat set to 68 degrees. And yep, we are thrilled to confirm that we have seen a dire change on our energy bill. We sincerely wish we could stop using our Heating, Ventilation & A/C equipment and rely solely on the ceiling fan. But since we don’t live in a state where the weather is always pleasant outside. A ceiling fan by itself can’t provide the needed comfort. In fact, ceiling fans can create heat inside the loft by pushing the warm air from the top of the room to the bottom. So, unless these brilliant manufacturers can figure out a way for fans to provide the same level of cooling as an Heating, Ventilation & A/C system, they can only be used with the Heating, Ventilation & A/C equipment for added comfort. We will always use a ceiling fan, not only are they stylish and add value to a room, but they also lower the amount of our energy bill, which is a clear win.
She was expecting a window A/C that had been there for years
Recently, Emma found herself traveling in the middle of nowhere.
She was going to see her best friend Lisa, who lives on a military base. Emma doesn’t normally travel to military bases, however Lisa insisted that she visits because she had some important news to share that she could not tell her over the phone. Anyway, this base was about 5 hours from Emma’s house, so the drive wasn’t terrible. The drive does take you through some tiny towns. Well, as Emma drove to the base, she needed to stop to get some gas and to use the restroom. She pulled over to a gas station that looked like it was a popular pit stop. As Emma pulled up, she observed a sign that featured BBQ and she must disclose the BBQ smelled amazing. When Emma walked inside the building to use the restroom, she was caught off guard by how modern the inside of the place was. She was expecting to find a tiny establishment with a window air conditioner that had been there for years. Instead, this gas station was recently renovated and everything was brand new including the mini split air conditioner equipment that they had installed on the wall of the dining area. For a moment, Emma sincerely thought she was in the city and not a small town in the middle of nowhere. Anyway, the restroom was also newly renovated and it also had an air handler from the mini split AC installed, so it was quite comfortable inside the restroom. After stopping at the gas station and seeing how modern it was, Emma decided to stop judging a book by its cover.
They opted for a ductless mini split HVAC unit
One thing we observed about the loft is that they opted for a ductless mini split Heating, Ventilation & A/C unit.
Last week, while driving home, we needed to pull over to make a conference call. We had some family members with us in our motorcar and when we stopped, they decided to get out of the motorcar for a bit. We pulled over into a new subdivision, which had a model loft on display as you turned inside the complex. Of course, our family members opted to see the inside of the model home. Luckily, some nice ladies were inside the model loft and offered to provide them a tour. We were unable to make the conference call, so we were ready to continue on our way. Well, we tried calling our family members, but they didn’t answer our calls. The best thing to do was step inside the model loft to see what they were up to. As soon as we walked through the door of the home, we immediately fell in love with it. The open layout was everything and the gray hardwood floors throughout the beach house was icing on the cake. The loft also came with a fireplace, which is not something that is popular for homes in this area. It was decorated nicely and worked as an accent section for the home. One thing we observed about the loft is that they opted for a ductless mini split Heating, Ventilation & A/C unit. In our heads, we’ve always thought that the ductless mini split ACs were better for small areas and not to provide cooling and heating for an entire house. The model loft had several air handlers throughout the house, and it felt pretty comfortable to us. Perhaps they are now manufacturing ductless mini split systems to provide heating and cooling for new homes.
There is a new law that impacts the HVAC industry
If you haven’t paid attention to the news, a new law has been implemented that has impacted the Heating, Ventilation & A/C industry.
From February, the federal government issued new regulations for the SEER rating for all new Heating, Ventilation & A/C units that will be produced this year.
If you’re like us, possibilities are, you have no idea what SEER means. You also have no idea how this new regulation will impact you directly. Well, SEER is an acronym that means seasonal energy efficiency ratio. This is a measure of the energy efficiency of the Heating, Ventilation & A/C equipment. The higher the rating, the better the efficiency. With the new regulation, SEER is now SEER2, and all Heating, Ventilation & A/C manufacturers must build the new units in compliance with the new regulations issued by the government. To be honest, the new regulations will mean an increase in price for all new Heating, Ventilation & A/C units and parts. So, if you’re purchasing Heating, Ventilation & A/C equipment this year, be aware that you’ll be spending more money for the new unit. The best part is, if you have an outdated Heating, Ventilation & A/C unit, you’re not required to update it to comply with the new regulations. So, you won’t need to worry about the extra costs for a new Heating, Ventilation & A/C equipment until you’re ready to purchase or update. However, with an older unit, it won’t be easy to find the parts to repair them. This means that there might be some delay in getting outdated Heating, Ventilation & A/C units up and running, so be prepared for this to impact you in some way.
Small homes use window A/C units or mini-split ACs
After obsessing over small homes for a year, we finally stayed inside one of them.
We had been dreaming about renting a small home, just to have the experience.
My partner and I aren’t minimalists, however we would consider living in one of these homes, especially because they are the perfect size for us and our pet. Small homes have become a trend as of late, and these homes are quite stylish. The one we rented was so comfortable that we forgot that we were in a small space. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The loft had a full lavatory, full bedroom, a living space, a queen size bed, tons of storage, and most importantly, it had climate control. Having a way to heat and cool this tiny space efficiently is important for the comfort of the home. And from what we discovered is that most small homes either use window air conditioner units or they install the ductless mini split air conditioners that provide both cooling and heating capabilities. It was our first time using a ductless mini split unit, and we didn’t notice any difference between it and a Heating, Ventilation & A/C unit. In fact, it kept the tiny home comfortable for the entire time that we were there. While the ductless mini split is not optimal for every space or for every home, they are perfect for small spaces. Not only is the equipment efficient, however it also takes up little space inside and outside the tiny home. We are not switching to a small home anytime soon, however my partner and I are glad that we managed to experience the night in one.
They ruined my portable tiny home.
I got a phone call last week telling my portable tiny home was ready to be picked up.
I had the truck ready to transport my tiny home to the first portable tiny home community I was planning to stay at.
When my portable tiny home arrived, it devastated me. They had broken the wheels off the back and the porch was sagging. I was afraid to go inside and see what damage they had done inside. The truck driver told me he hadn’t checked the supports before pulling out. The people who had built my portable tiny home looked like they knew what they were doing. All he did was hook up to the portable tiny home and bring it here. He knew there was something wrong when he looked back and saw sparks. The wheels had come off, and the portable tiny home was dragging on the ground. The friction almost caused a fire, and I was lucky I had a portable tiny home to see. I asked how the porch got demolished. He told me that when the wheels came off, the house flipped and it smashed into the porch. I wanted to know if there was any damage inside, but he wouldn’t go inside without me being here. I was almost afraid to go inside. What if the outside damage made the house unsafe, but in I went. Everywhere I looked, things were in disarray or smashed. I cried, and the truck driver sat beside me. He told me to call the trucking company and they would pay for all the damage.
