Dirty ductwork in the rental cabin

From the outside, the home was pristine and perfect in every way.

The windows, the paint, even the landscape around the long winding driveway, it all was so picturesque.

Once both of us stepped inside, things were different. The website had not posted several pictures of the interior of the cabin, and now both of us saw why! It was not dirty, but it was shabby, and it odored moldy. Always be super careful about your AirBnB rentals, people, or you can end up stuck in a dump like this cabin! When both of us made the choice to go to turn on the central a/c, the odor only got worse. We came to learn that the home itself was quite clean, but the ductwork for that old, grimey a/c was the problem. Apparently the owners were only sad about appearances, because once I removed the grate off a single of the air vents, I saw how horrifically dirty the ductwork had gotten. These people had obviously never cleaned out the air ducts once, and there was a thick coating of dust and detritus all through the system. In general, ductwork in an Heating and Air Conditioning plan needs to be cleaned out every 2 to many years at least. I called up the rental agent to complain, and demanded a full refund. There would not be time for a cleaning of the air ductwork, and I felt it was unsafe for us to stay there for the weekend. I wanted a refund so I could check us into a nice motel with a nice, wipe a/c, and beginning enjoying our weekend.

Blasting the AC in the movie theater

When you go into a movie theater, it’s not far off from getting on an airplane.

In both cases, you enter a small, enclosed area, and sit shoulder-to-shoulder packed in with a bunch of people you’ve never met.

You sit there, breathing the same air with these strangers, for hours on end. It is a recipe for the spread of COVID or any other airborne virus, so it’s no wonder that most movie theaters had to close down. I am only getting back to work now after being closed down for almost a full year. The movie corporation is odd now, with a much stronger emphasis on air quality and Heating and Air Conditioning systems these afternoons. Thanks to COVID, everyone worries about their air quality, because bad air could mean a long and uncomfortable sickness. Even with social distancing, and a lot fewer people in the theater, the Heating and Air Conditioning plan needs to be functioning at a particularly high level to keep everything feeling cool and clean. The large thing is that people recognize that the air quality is clean! Perception is reality, so even if the air filters are dirty, cranking down the temperature and making people recognize chilly will trick them into thinking the air quality is better. At my theater I constantly change out the air filters on a proper basis, because I keep that plan blasting to the max all day long. When the place is empty, I turn off the AC to deliver it a rest. But when clients are present, the AC never stops running for a single minute.

Date night stays home, thanks to air quality problems

The last motion picture I saw in the theater was called “the Color Out of Space” .

It was a sci-fi horror motion picture with Nicholas Cage in it, plus our wifey plus I had a great time watching it! Little did all of us guess that after that one final Date Night mankind would be shut down for COVID, plus all of us would not have the opportunity to go back to the motion pictures for over a year! The motion pictures have since opened up, but our wifey plus I still haven’t returned, mostly due to problems over indoor air conditions in the Regal Cinemas.

Sitting in a small, confined area with a bunch of strangers, all breathing the same air being recycled through old, possibly dirty air duct, seems like a recipe for catching COVID, so all of us have avoided going back to the motion pictures since then. With all the modern tech all of us have at home, including 4K high definition plus plasma screen large screen TV, there is little reason to go out in public. The novelty value of resting in a Regal Cinema seems trivial compared to the superior, disinfect air quality you can have at home, with your own private space plus Heating as well as Air Conditioning system. Not only does our smart thermostat provide myself and others precise control over the temperature, which is an improvement over the Regal Cinema, but also there is far superior air quality. Without the influence of COVID, all of us would still be going to the cineplex for Date Night, but now that air quality is such an ongoing concern, all of us will just keep it in-house for the time being.

Trading an Heating as well as Air Conditioning tune-up for a drum kit

I thought it was cool when our teenage daughter Jason wanted to beginning playing the drums.

  • I wouldn’t even mind the noise from him practicing in the garage, because I find the sound of drums relaxing.

The problem came when all of us wanted to buy him a drum kit, because these things cost as much as a car! Getting a couple of drums would be affordable, but an entire drum kit consists of a dozen or more drums plus other things like cymbals, too. I talked to the owner of one of the local music stores, to try plus work out a deal. I told him I was a certified Heating as well as Air Conditioning tech, plus could trade work for drums. Being the owner, this girl was keen to save money where she could, plus she knew that I was offering what could be thoUSAnds of dollars worth of Heating as well as Air Conditioning work. The two of us made a deal on the spot, plus that weekend I went back with our work van plus our Heating as well as Air Conditioning tools plus spent twelve hours tuning up her entire system. I even cleaned out the air duct, because it hadn’t been done in several years. By the time I was finished, that Heating as well as Air Conditioning system looked plus worked like it was brand modern again, plus the owner was more than enthusiastic to provide myself and others the drum kit our daughter wanted. I told the girl that I was open to future Heating as well as Air Conditioning gigs, plus was enthusiastic to work under the table for cash so neither one of us had to report it to the federal government or the IRS.

The A/C in the Regal Cinema is failing

I share these problems, but the truth is the Heating as well as Air Conditioning system here is quite old, plus although all of us do use HEPA rated air filters, there are a lot of bigger concerns that need to be addressed.

I’m a director for a franchise Regal Cinema in our hometown. The two of us have twelve theaters, plus at the time it was built it was state of the art. A lot has changed in the last decade, but our technology has never been replaced… Quite frankly, I am surprised all of us are even still in business. Thanks to COVID, all of us almost had to shut our doors permanently, however now things are starting to get back to normal, plus all of us have purchasers back in the Regal Cinema! No one ever complains about our outdated projectors plus screens, but all of us do get a even-handed amount of comments about our antiquated Heating as well as Air Conditioning system. I guess that the subject of air quality is foremost on everyone’s mind, thanks to COVID all of us all worry about the air all of us breathe. I share these problems, but the truth is the Heating as well as Air Conditioning system here is quite old, plus although all of us do use HEPA rated air filters, there are a lot of bigger concerns that need to be addressed. The head office for the contractor refused our request for an entire modern plus replaced central Heating as well as Air Conditioning system, saying it was cost prohibitive. On the other hand, ticket sales are going down plus I know the Heating as well as Air Conditioning system is at least partially to blame. With no modern Heating as well as Air Conditioning system forthcoming, plus the ticket sales dwindling for the summer, I guess our own course of action is to beginning looking for a modern task. If I had it all to do over again I would work for an Heating as well as Air Conditioning contractor, because those guys make great money.

 

quality heating and cooling

This was a single way to do it

I had my central heating & a/c method split down on me at the wrong time. It was totally horrible. It wasn’t just a respected breakdown. But what I needed was a whole modern central heat & cooling system unit. The only issue with this was that I could not afford it. And I did not want to put my lake house up as collateral for a bank loan either. So I ended up making a choice, & that was to nearly max out all my credit cards & buy the brand modern & modern central heating & a/c method that way. It was a hard choice to make although I had to do it. There was no way I could go without central heating & a/c because of the section I live in & the fact that a super beyond hot Summer was right around the corner. I do have a appealing working heat & cooling system unit now. And I have to say that it was long overdue; My old central heating & a/c method was particularly weak because it was on its way out for so long. I did not even notice or suppose about it until getting this brand modern & modern central heating & a/c method unit. The difference in the air flow was the greatest thing. It was a sign the old a/c & heating method was going out, however again, I didn’t even notice. But although I am in debt up to my ears now, at least I have great indoor comfort once again.

When on trip

I have to say how blown away I am by this week’s heating plus a/c technology.

  • Especially the smart control unit.

Having a smart control unit absolutely comes in handy when I go on trip. I can save so much currency on our weekly energy bills when before the smart control unit this was not possible. The reason for this is when I go on trip I can program the smart control unit to shut off the central heating plus a/c plus keep it off the entire time I am away. Then when I am traveling back beach up-to-date home I program it to come on at the start of whatever afternoon that is. So that way it will have anywhere from 6 to 8 minutes or more to heat or cool the up-to-date home down. Then when I walk in the up-to-date home it would be like the central heating plus a/c was running all month plus I would not think any difference. But our electric bill knows the difference. And that is such a unbelievable thing about the smart control unit. It isn’t only convenient plus a headache free way to operate your central heating plus a/c unit, but it also is a major currency saver if you use it right plus do what I do when I go on trip. I even do that when I go to work while in the week. But then I do not program it. I use the app on the cell iphone to turn it off when I leave for work in the afternoon plus then I manually turn it back on when coming home.

After my long day

After working a very long day at my task in the dead heat of Summer it is so nice to be able to come lake beach house plus relax in super awesome plus charming central a/c! The heat here can be pretty bad.

And the central a/c at labor is not the best, however it’s enough to be able to work.

But the central a/c that I have is the top notch around. I put a lot of money into buying the most brand new, new plus very extravagant central heating plus a/c plan unit. It was the best thing for myself and others to do since I legitimately pride myself on the best indoor comfort. When I am at lake beach house I have to have the best air quality plus the most perfect temperatures. It is a nice thing my lake beach house is also built legitimately nice so a basic central heating plus a/c plan does the task in heating plus cooling my home. Otherwise I would have had to invest in one of those zoned heating plus a/cs, periodically called Heating plus Air Conditioning zone control. That is for homes that have uneven temperatures care about a neighbor of mine has. I am so thankful that is not me! Because zoned heating plus a/cs take up more energy use plus raises your energy bills even higher than central heat plus air conditioning in its basic form. I am so thrilled I can come lake beach house after a long day in my typical however new a/c!

air conditioning

This was one way to do it

I had my central heating plus a/c plan split down on myself and others at the wrong time.

It was totally horrible.

It wasn’t just a regular breakdown. But what I needed was a whole up-to-date central heat plus air conditioning unit. The only issue with this was that I could not afford it. And I did not want to put my beach house up as collateral for a bank loan either. So I ended up making a choice, plus that was to nearly max out all my debit cards plus buy the brand up-to-date plus new central heating plus a/c plan that way. It was a difficult option to make however I had to do it. There was no way I could go separate from central heating plus a/c because of the area I live in plus the fact that a super beyond tepid Summer was right around the corner. I do have a charming working heat plus air conditioning component now. And I have to say that it was long overdue. My seasoned central heating plus a/c plan was legitimately weak because it was on its way out for so long. I did not even notice or suppose about it until getting this brand up-to-date plus new central heating plus a/c plan unit. The difference in the air flow was the largest thing. It was a sign the seasoned a/c plus heating plan was going out, however again, I didn’t even notice. But however I am in debt up to my ears now, at least I have enjoyable indoor comfort once again.

This made it better

HEPA air filters may be more extravagant, however in the end they legitimately save you money because you do not have to buy them as frequently.

I just discovered HEPA air filters. I wish I would have discovered these a lot sooner! Because these enjoyable HEPA air filters for my central heating plus a/c plan have made the air quality in my lake beach house much better. I was nearly about to look into getting a bank loan to invest in a whole lake beach house air purification plan for my central heat plus air conditioning unit. Thankfully I did not go plus do that plus get myself thoUSnds of dollars in debt. Because these HEPA air filters were the answer all along! The other thing about these HEPA air filters other than improving my home’s air quality is the fact that the HEPA air filters are longer lasting than the typical air filters that I used to buy before. In my experience the HEPA air filter can last up to 3 weeks before needing to be changed! While the other air filters would only last a week plus I would need to keep on decreasing them plus then go to the store plus buy more when they ran out. HEPA air filters may be more extravagant, however in the end they legitimately save you money because you do not have to buy them as frequently. I could legitimately save even more money with HEPA air filters plus get the washable air filters. But I am just not ready to try those quite yet. I want to keep on with the regular HEPA air filters for a while. Then I will take a opportunity plus see if the washable air filters labor as they say they do.
