My daughter was similar to her mother, stubborn & had to have everything her way.

Then again, I am kind of the same way, except with a temper, so I guess the pear doesn’t fall too far from the tree.

Anyways, she has always been this way, ever since she was a young child. Well within the past year, she has been legitimately taking an interest in the career field of Heating & Air Conditioning technology. Not exactly what I was imagining her doing for a job, but trying to be a supportive father, I supported her decision regardless of everything. The only drawback about her learning more about Heating & Air Conditioning equipment, is that she easily noticed that ours was legitimately insufficient. She was telling me every one of us needed a current one. I was only halfway listening, but when she kept bringing the same thing up, I knew she was serious! She kept telling me that every one of us needed current cooling equipment. She wasn’t even asking me, she was demanding. Now usually I don’t listen to these kinds of demands, but the truth is the Heating & Air Conditioning equipment had been getting on my nerves with its unpredictable behavior, & our daughter had shown me evidence of how awful it was, efficiency wise. I decided to listen this one time, & so I called a heating & cooling equipment worker to come & replace the Heating & Air Conditioning unit. I had the cooling system & oil furnace system replaced in the next week… My daughter was so grateful & she hugged me. I certainly will admit, it was a wise decision, because the property felt good afterwards.

Cooling and heating business

My child was very similar to her mother, stubborn and had to have it her way.

Then again, I am kind of the same way, except with a wild temper, so I assume the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Anyways, she has constantly been this way, ever since she was a young adult. Within the past year, she has been genuinely taking an interest in the field of Heating and A/C technology. It’s honestly not what I was imagining her doing for a working career, however trying to be a supportive father, I supported her decision no matter what. The only setback about her reading more about Heating and A/C machines, is that she realized that ours was especially insufficient. She was telling me every one of us needed an up-to-date one. I was only halfway listening, however when she kept bringing it up, I knew she was serious about this thing… She kept telling me that every one of us needed an up-to-date cooling machine. She honestly wasn’t asking me, she was telling me it had to be done. Now usually I don’t listen to these kinds of demands, however the truth is the Heating and A/C machine had been getting on my nerves with it’s crazy behavior. My child had shown me evidence of how bad ours genuinely was, efficiency wise. I made the move to call a heating and air conditioner worker to come and replace the Heating and A/C machine. I had the air conditioner and gas furnace replaced in the upcoming days, and my child was so cheerful and she hugged me. I will admit, it was a brilliant decision, because the beach residence felt good afterwards.

As someone raised in the northern states, I was sick of the cold and really wanting to get away from it.

So when I had an awesome job opportunity down in the southern states, I took it.

I moved down a few weeks later and started working for my dream job, and I have never looked back. While I was there, I met my now wife, and she moved in only after a month of dating. It was the kind of love that was just meant to be. However, there is one thing that just completely baffles me, and that is that she loves the cold. To be specific, she loved the cooling system, because the cooling unit enabled her to make the house or car as cold as she wanted. She would always set the smart thermostat down to 68 degrees! That was going to be an issue, because all of the cold brought back negative memories from the north. I sat my wife down and discussed the issue, and since we both didn’t want to be miserable, we decided getting a zoned HVAC unit would be the best decision for both of us. We split it half and half, and we were able to get the zoned HVAC unit installed within a week. While that solved our issue of heating and cooling at the house, we still had one minor problem, what was the temperature going to be in the car? Too bad they didn’t have HVAC zone control for cars, but I’m not sure how that would work anyways. Luckily, we don’t usually need to drive together anyways.

I wish that I could get rid of my gas furnace.

• I’d like to tear out the ductwork and all of the vents and no longer need to arrange my furniture around them.

It would be so nice to no longer need to worry about the energy waste, noise and air contaminants associated with ductwork. I’d love to replace the furnace with hydronic radiant flooring. I would have a boiler installed in the basement and a series of pipes hidden beneath the floor. The heating components would be completely concealed, take up no living space and never detract from aesthetics. A radiant floor heating system makes no noise and requires no maintenance. It doesn’t blow dust, bacteria and other contaminants into the breathing air. The heat doesn’t blast from vents and rise straight up to the ceilings. Instead, the heat is spread evenly across the floor and infused into the air. The temperature between the floor and ceiling varies very little. There are no drafts or cold spots. The system is wonderfully energy efficient. It doesn’t dry out the air, so I wouldn’t need to run a humidifier. Plus, radiant floor heating accommodates zone control. I would have a separate thermostat in each room. I wouldn’t need to heat empty bedrooms all day long. I could target those rooms that tend to feel chilly. My kids could set the temperature in their bedroom to their preference. I would love to get out of bed on winter morning and step on a warm floor. It would be such a pleasure to step out of the shower onto a heated floor.

I own and run a local bakery.

Last Sunday, I was extremely busy.

Customers kept coming in, and I was stressed just thinking about the long hours ahead of me. I knew that the following morning, I needed to have an entry prepared for a baking contest. At the end of the day, I had to bake several cakes I planned for the contest! By the time the final customer walked out the door with her purchase, I was anxious to finish and head home. I still had a great deal of work ahead of me and I was already sweaty and feeling overheated and tired. I lowered the temperature on the thermostat but the conditions in the bakery didn’t change. I knew there was a problem. I hit the reset button on the thermostat and went ahead with preparing cakes. The bakery kept getting hotter from running the ovens. It was after business hours and I was reluctant to call for air conditioner repair and pay extra charges. However, I couldn’t have customers arriving in the morning without an operational air conditioner. I called around to see if there was an HVAC professional available to head right over. While I waited for the techniciaan to show, I found a box fan in the store room. Running the fan didn’t help much, but I was thankful for the circulation of the air. I was relieved when the technician arrived and took apart the cooling system. He found a slight buildup of debris restricting airflow and a problem with a belt. The repairs were done in under an hour. With the air conditioner once again operating as it should, I was suddenly much more productive. I finished my jobs more quickly and was happy with the results. Despite paying extra for overtime services, it was worth it to have the malfunction resolved right away.

When I fired up the gas furnace in October, I suspected an issue.

The heater made some weird sounds and the odor of burnt lint came out of the vents.

There was less air and more dust blowing around than normal. I should have called for repair from a licensed HVAC contractor. I was so busy getting the house ready for winter, working overtime hours at work and keeping up with my kids’ activities, I totally forgot about the furnace. As the outdoor temperature cooled off, the performance of the furnace steadily deteriorated. I raised the thermostat setting several times and yet the house still felt too cold. The furnace eventually quit completely toward the end of December, right during the middle of the night. I woke up freezing and took a look at the thermostat. I figured I was in trouble when adjusting the settings didn’t convince the furnace to start up. I could see my breath by that point. I tried new batteries in the thermostat and checked the electrical panel for a tripped breaker. I also cleaned the air filter. When none of my attempts accomplished anything, I finally got in touch with an HVAC provider for emergency repair. It was necessary to pay an extra fee for overtime service. The technician informed me that the problem could have been avoided with upkeep in the fall. The issues were the result of a buildup of debris that caused the heater to overheat. A professional cleaning of the inner components got the furnace operating properly again. I was fortunate that there was no bigger damage. I have now enrolled in a preventative maintenance agreement with the HVAC company. They contact me in the fall and spring to schedule preventive maintenance for the furnace and air conditioner.

 

Furnace filter

Last fall, right when I turned up the thermostat, I had some complaints with the furnace.

The heater was blasting all the time and yet failing to keep up with demands. Raising the temperature setting didn’t make much difference. Specific rooms were always cold and there were chilly corners throughout the house. My whole family was dressing in layers of sweaters and complaining about feeling cold. Whenever the furnace kicked on, I noticed an abundance of dust floating in the air. There was also an unpleasant, musty smell to the heated air. I had to dust and vacuum a lot more often. When I opened my energy bill, it was a lot higher than anticipated. I called a local HVAC company and arranged for service. The company sent the technician to the house for a complete inspection of the heating system. He mentioned a slight accumulation of debris inside the furnace but nothing that would lead to those types of complications. He then performed a test on the ductwork and found the source of all of the issues. Hidden inside the ducts was a great deal of dust, pollen, bugs, webs, decomposing rodents and various types of debris. The buildup was restricting airflow through the system and forcing the furnace to operate longer and strain harder. Because the maximum amount of heated air was failing to reach all of the rooms of the house, it was struggling to achieve ideal temperature. When the air passed through the ducts, it was circulating harmful bacteria, particles and mold spores and adding them into our living environment. I was concerned that duct sealing would cause a mess and create damage to the property. The pipes are hidden behind the ceilings and walls and impossible to reach. Thankfully, the technician had access to a unit that looked like a vacuum cleaner. He used a long hose with a brush on the end and snaked it into the ducts. The job was completed in a few hours. Right away, I felt the difference in the performance of the furnace and comfort of the house.

I live in a part of the country that gets a great deal of snow and severe cold! Our Winter weather usually lasts for more than half of the year. We frequently see our first snowfall in the beginning of September. By the end of October, we expect to have several inches on the ground. Blizzards and sub zero temperatures are normal for us. The snow accumulates in a matter of hours, and it’s constantly necessary to plow and shovel. The extreme temperatures and build-up of snow causes a lot of expense and labor. It’s a steady job of clearing walking paths, the driveway and around the mailbox. We repeat the job several times per day. Shoveling takes time, is hard work and just downright horrible. When the temperature drops below freezing and there’s a bitter windchill, it becomes dangerous to be outside. I am so relieved that I have a snowmelt system. A network of pipes installed beneath the pavement of the garage floor, driveway, walkways and front steps eliminate the work and effort for me. The pipes are connected to a boiler located in the basement. The boiler warms up water and sends it through the pipes, spreading heat over the surface of the pavement. The snowmelt system automatically activates with temperature drop and moisture. It melts snow and ice to maintain clear pavement at all times. I never worry about snow removal or where to pile all that snow. I don’t deal with huge piles of snow getting in the way of our garage or driveway. There’s less concerns over slipping, falling plus getting injured because of icy pavement. The boiler also provides for our indoor heat. Just like the snowmelt system, it consists of a system of pipes hidden under the floors. Warm water from the boiler passes through the pipes and radiates heat across the surface of the floor. The heat is infused into the air, rises slowly and creates consistent and especially gentle comfort. The operation is quiet, energy efficient and won’t overly dry out the air.

I’ve learned that cold air naturally retains less moisture than warmer air.

Over the winter, the air tends to be so dry that it causes concerns.

I reside in the northern part of the country. In my local area, the winters usually last more than half of the year. We expect temperatures down to negative thirty degrees, dangerous wind chill and tons of snow. It’s often necessary to turn up the thermostat in late September and operate the furnace until sometime in April. Before we can go anywhere, it’s necessary to shovel snow away from the front door and create a path to the car. It requires quite a bit of time to remove the snow from the car and scrape the ice from the windshield. We need to let the defrost and heating system blast for at least fifteen minutes. Everybody owns a snow shovel, ice scraper and four-wheel-drive car. We all wear heavy boots, hats and gloves. We are familiar with high heating bills and watch for school closings, blizzard warnings and driving bans. To maintain a comfortable home, a humidifier is essential. The especially dry air can result in health concerns and damage to wood furnishings. Hardwood floors, doors, moldings and antiques are at risk. Static shock and damage to low voltage electronics is a possibility. Headaches, sore throat, sneezing, coughing, chapped lips and bloody noses are some of the worries. Symptoms of allergies, asthma, psoriasis and eczema are worsened by low humidity levels. Because dry air feels colder than moisturized air, people tend to turn up the thermostat and put greater strain on the heater. This leads to even higher energy bills. There are three types of humidifiers available; fan-style, bypass and steam-style. They incorporate into the heating system and add moisture as the air flows through. They run quietly and efficiently and only need annual maintenance.

Living in a part of the country where the winters hang on for more than half of the year means that central air conditioning is unnecessary.

We depend on the furnace for about eight straight months.

The temperature is often well below freezing and can drop below zero. To avoid astronomical heating bills, it’s essential to tighten up the house and eliminate energy losses. I am always anxious for warmer weather. I look forward to the opportunity to open the windows and welcome in some fresh air. I have no intention of sealing the house back up, running an air conditioner and paying high electric bills. Our summer seasons are usually short. However, the season can be especially humid and hot, causing the interior of the house to feel overheated and sticky. Since my family likes to be outdoors most of the time, this isn’t a problem until we head to bed at night. Looking for an effective and affordable way to cool down the bedrooms, I chose window air conditioners. This proved to be the ideal solution. For around one hundred dollars each, I bought energy efficient cooling units from the local hardware store. The units are small, lightweight and no problem to install. In the late spring, I haul them down from the attic, place them in the windows and plug them into electrical outlets. They are adjusted by way of a cordless remote. It is very convenient. Without getting out of bed, we are able to change the temperature, adjust the fan speed and choose different modes. We only run the air conditioners at night, so the cost is minimal. They are powerful enough to keep the bedrooms perfectly comfortable. Plus, each family member can cater the temperature in their room to their personal preference.
