Going through a break up and having a broken furnace

I have been dating a girl for quite some time now.

I think it is getting very serious and I had wanted to move it farther.

I took her out on a date last week. It was her favorite restaurant and I bought her anything she wanted. I thought the date was going really very well. When I dropped her off at home she had broken up with me. She told me she did not want to be together anymore. She thought that maybe this date would have changed her mind. It did not do that though. I dropped her off and that was it. I spent all that money for nothing. When I had gotten home that night, my house was freezing cold. I went directly to the thermostat. I turned the heat way up and headed to bed. I was hoping that it would warm up throughout the night. I actually woke up in the middle of the night and it felt much colder. I had no idea what was going on. That was when I thought the HVAC system was broken. Something was wrong with the furnace. After I had spent all the money on that girl I loved, I was going to spend money on this furnace repair. This was definitely not a good day. I waited until morning because I definitely could not afford the late night repair. I had just been broken up with and my furnace stopped heating my house. All I wanted to do was cry that night. Thankfully the problem could be fixed in the morning.

New heating and fixed air conditioning

I never thought that I would need to have heating in the South.

  • I thought that it would still be warm enough in the winter.

One winter it got very cold. It almost snowed. I decided I had to get heating. It was fall so I had enough time to get it done before winter. I called my HVAC technician. I always call him and he is very helpful. I have never had a problem with my air conditioning. It gets very hot where I live. I thought I would have more problems than I do. He said we could install a heating system quickly. I scheduled an appointment for him to come to my house the next day. He knew what my house looked like since he had been there many times before. I get regular tune ups for my air conditioning system. He installed the new heating system no problem. While he was at my house looked at my air conditioning system for a tune up. He cleaned the air filters. They had become a little dirty over the summer. He also noticed some defective parts. He said that there were some defective parts in the compressor. The defective parts could have led to my system breaking. He replaced the parts and ran the system. I noticed my house get cooler. I must not have noticed that my house was feeling warmer than it usually did. By getting calling my HVAC technician, he installed a new heating system. He unexpectedly fixed my air conditioning. I did not even notice something was different. He is a professional that always gives me good service. I could never get this from having a friend or family member take care of my HVAC needs.

Installing air conditioning

For many years my house has not had air conditioning. We have had heat in the winter. Our house usually stays pretty cool. On days that it is humid, it is always hot. We have a pool that helps us stay cool. We spend many days swimming. It is also great exercise. We are getting tired of the humid weather. I decided to get air conditioning installed in our home. I called an HVAC business. I do not know much about these systems. They were very helpful. He was happy he called a professional. Many times people let friends or family install the system. These people spend more money in the future on repairs. A professional will give you the best quality. The chances for breakdowns are much less. So they gave me some options and information. He said that he would need to come to my house to measure the size of air conditioner I would need. This is important for the air conditioning to be just right. You do not want the system to get over worked. It is easy to need repairs that way. I scheduled an appointment for him to come to my house. He came up with a good size for my home. He said he could install it right away. I was happy I did not have to stay another day in the humid air. He suggested to get tune ups every year. The system can become dusty throughout the year and the winter time. He could come look at it to make sure it will run properly. Defective parts can be replaced. He assured me I could run it all summer long.

New home heating

I recently just moved north for a job.

House hunting can be so exhausting.

You can only see so many houses before you want to quit. It is an exciting experience at first. You get to look at new houses and see which one you want to live in. It was very frustrating for me because I could not find a house. I could not find one I wanted to live in. One major thing I did not like was electric heating. When I hear electric I think of fires. I wanted to avoid that. It seemed that every house we looked at was electric heating. I went home one night and called an HVAC technician for information. He told me that electric heating is actually not an issue with fires. Electric heating does not burn anything. No harmful gases are released. I would never have to worry about harmful fumes getting into my home. He reassured me that this heating system is beneficial. It runs very efficiently. I could pay more for electric. Gas heating is cheaper but less efficient. I was actually starting to think that electrical heating was a good choice. He made sure to tell me to get regular tune ups. Like anything else, it can stop running. Some common problems are not producing enough heat and it will not turn on. HVAC technicians clean air filters and replace defective parts. I should not have a problem with my heating system if I get regular tune ups. With this information, I picked out a house. I was happy I could end the house hunting.

Air conditioning in extreme climates

Air conditioning is crucial in areas where it gets very hot.

Some HVAC units cannot handle the unbearable temperatures.

It is always good to get the right equipment for your temperature and climate. You also want to save as much money as you can. The HVAC unit needs to be efficient too. There are so many needs for the ideal HVAC unit. One of the best ways to beat the heat are heat pumps. This pump will absorb any kind of heat in your home. It exhausts this heat out to keep your home cool. The opposite happens when you are heating your home. The pump collects warm air from outside. It then puts that warm air into your home. Overall, the pump removes air from one place. Then, it puts this air in another place. Furnaces and boilers will create heat using fuel. This process allows the home to be heated or cooled using free air. When having this system installed, call an HVAC technician. This system is always running. It is best to make sure it is set up correctly. If some parts are installed incorrectly they may cause the pump to run poorly. For the best air quality get regular tune ups to avoid some repair. Do not let your air filters become clogged. This is a common cause for repairs. Tune ups will eliminate this. If you feel like you are not getting enough heating or cooling it could be that something is broken. Always pay attention to your HVAC system. An HVAC technician will always be able to service your HVAC needs.

The Office Didn’t Have an Air Vent

When my spouse and I were building our current home, we spent hours meticulously picking out all the details.

  • Designing the blueprints was my favorite part, because we had the ability to customize the layout of the home and add and subtract anything we wanted.

One of my requirements for the new house was an office for myself. I didn’t need anything fancy, but I did need the space. There wasn’t a lot of room within the square footage, but our contractor was able to give me a small space that would have been used for storage. The only downside to this idea was that there was no connection to the central HVAC system. I thought the lack of an air vent would be fine because the space was rather small. I assumed that if I left the door open, I’d be able to heat and cool the space perfectly. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. I loved having a designated office space, but I rarely used it because it was always too hot or too cold. I had no idea how not having an air vent would affect the space so much. There was no way to route the central HVAC system to the space without spending thousands of dollars and remodeling the space, so I sought out other options. The best solution for me was a ductless mini split unit because it could heat and cool the space. A ductless mini split unit was perfect for heating and cooling a small space in an efficient way. My only regret is that I didn’t have it installed sooner.

A Portable AC Unit For His Room

A few months before our son had his Birthday, we started asking him about what he wanted. He’s never been a materialistic person, so trying to get a gift idea from him is challenging. Over the years, I’ve become accustomed to listening to his interests and for keywords that will help me find gifts for him. Recently, he’s been talking about how warm he is in the evenings. I thought this was odd because I don’t think it’s warm in our house, but then again, my bedroom isn’t on the same floor as his. One evening, after he had already gone to bed, I went upstairs to see if I could feel a temperature difference. I thought there was a slight increase in temperature when I made it to the top of the stairs, but not compared to the temperature of my son’s bedroom when I opened the door. For some reason, his bedroom was significantly warmer and I had no idea why. I cracked my son’s window and turned on his ceiling fan. The next day, I called the HVAC company and asked them to come service the HVAC system. The HVAC professional who came was able to find a blockage in the ductwork, which was causing the air to be cut off in my son’s room. Once the blockage was removed, the air began flowing into his bedroom again! Even though my son’s room was cooler with the blockage taken care of, we decided to get him a portable AC unit and he loved it! He loved how he could control the temperature of his room.

Single Air Vent Is Mighty

Sometimes, the only way I can see my family is if I drive three hours north to visit them in their home.

  • I moved to a completely new area after graduating college in order to take a new job, so it makes sense that I spend more time visiting my family than my family visiting me.

Most of my family still lives in this area, so I enjoy coming up to see everyone when I have the time to do it. Three hours isn’t a long drive, but I still hesitate to come visit whenever I get the chance. It’s not that I don’t enjoy seeing everyone, because I do. Unfortunately, the only place I can stay when I’m in town is at my parent’s house and while that’s fine, their guest bedroom is a nightmare. There is one air vent situated on the floor beside the bed, and it is powerful. When the heat is running, the guest bedroom overheats and the only way to cool the space is by opening a window. The overhead fan works, but it only pushes the hot air around. When the furnace is running and I’m staying in the guest bedroom, it feels like I’m suffocating in a furnace. I wish I could say that it was more comfortable during the summer months, but it’s not. When the AC is running, the guest bedroom turns into an icebox. No matter how many blankets I pile on top of the bed, that guest bedroom feels like I’m sleeping in an igloo. It’s shocking how extreme the temperatures get in that guest bedroom when there is a single air vent.

I Needed to Take Care of My Home’s Air

I used to struggle with severe seasonal allergies.

Without fail, when the weather started transitioning from winter to spring, my head began to fill up with congestion and pain.

My eyes would water constantly, my nose would always be running, and my head constantly pounded. Even though I took over the counter medication, I always found myself staying inside my house whenever possible. I felt like any time I walked into the open air outside, my body was just filling up with pollen and pollutants. One day though, I realized that I was actually causing more harm than good by staying inside because I wasn’t taking care of my HVAC system and it was making my allergies worse! I spoke with a friend who was a doctor, and she told me that one of the biggest triggers for allergies was a home’s HVAC system, especially if it wasn’t serviced. HVAC systems needed attention from certified HVAC professionals in order to run efficiently, and part of that was having the air filter replaced. Air filters needed to be replaced at least three times per year, but sometimes more if the pollen and pollutants were bad. I wasn’t changing my air filter, which meant a ton of dust and debri were getting lodged inside, spreading into my home’s air. My friend also told me about HEPA certified air filters. They were the best on the market, because they could trap any and all pollutants. Once I took her advice, my allergies were relieved almost instantly!

Saving home energy from your HVAC system

A lot of homeowners don’t realize the amount of money that is wasted during simple tasks in your home.

For example when people leave the room and forget to shut the lights off.

Or when you start your shower and leave it running longer than necessary. However most people forget about saving energy and money when it comes to their HVAC system. More than half of the energy that is used in a person’s home is consumed from their HVAC system. To prevent excess use of energy and spending more money than needed you should be aware of the amount of energy that your HVAC system uses. For example by looking at the energy guide label on your HVAC system or information from your HVAC technician this lets you know how much energy is consumed from your HVAC system. You can also have a professional assessment from an HVAC provider where they give you specific recommendations and advice to lowering your consumption of energy. Also it’s important to occasionally have your HVAC technician check your air ducts and seals to make sure that there is no air leaking from them. If air is leaking from them this means that there is a slight percentage that your HVAC system is working more than it needs to. Another easy way to save is by lowering your thermostat in the winter and bumping the thermostat up in the summer so your HVAC system isn’t turning on all of the time. As always consult an HVAC provider for questions or advice when working and maintaining your HVAC system.
