Checking condensate levels in the heating and cooling system is key

My high tech heating as well as Air Conditioning air handler is in the garage.

All of us live in a small area of the US where the heat pump is pretty much the heating plus cooling unit of our decision.

That’s because the two of us deal with heat more than the two of us deal with cold. The wonderful heat pump just hardly had any work to do while I was in the winter. No, the heat pump does all it’s efforts from April through August with Heating as well as Air Conditioning cooling. It is the part of Summer where the heat pump is running practically night plus day. That’s lots of warm Heating as well as Air Conditioning cooling. Yet, there is no way to manage that section of summer of high heat plus humidity without the aid of the air conditioner. And when the high tech air conditioner is running that much, there are things to pay attention to. Of those things lots of modern Heating as well as Air Conditioning cooling is condensate. Condensate is a liquid produced by the process of Heating as well as Air Conditioning cooling. It’s a perfectly normal result of the air conditioner. However, a homeowner is wise to keep an eye on the liquid condensate levels. The Heating as well as Air Conditioning component has a liquid condensate drain line that runs to the exterior of your home to drain that condensate. Normally, it functions just as designed plus there is no problem. However, that condensate line can get backed up which doesn’t allow the condensate to drain plus can end up overflowing the drain pan above the Heating as well as Air Conditioning air handler. During our Springtime home prep for the nearing Summer time heat, I take a shop vac plus pull out any debris from the liquid condensate drain outside. It’s just a crazy proposal to keep an eye on Heating as well as Air Conditioning liquid condensate levels.

I love my heating and air conditioning cover

I’m finishing up the home preparations for the coming winter. When you face the sort of Winter months that the two of us do face, you have to be prepared to suffer. Either be ready for Winter or suffer the high costs of heating or even worse, an Heating as well as high tech Air Conditioning heating breaking. I’m not interested in dealing with either of these difficult situations so, I spend the Summer plus fall preparing a bit for the winter. All of us have a big oil furnace which is our primary heating source. However, I also have a wood stove that works as both an extra heat source plus an emergency heating alternative. So I spend a huge amount of time in the Summer chopping, cutting plus stacking firewood. The prep for the modern Heating as well as high tech Air Conditioning unit is the domain of the Heating as well as high tech Air Conditioning worker. The Heating as well as Air Conditioning worker comes out to do the heat repair in early spring. This ensures that the gas furnace is running at top energy efficiency while also reducing the chance of a mid-Wintertide Heating as well as Air Conditioning heating breakdown. But I also make sure that the home is ready to hold in the heat plus keep the chilly and cooler air out. That means increasing storm doors, replacing the weather stripping plus also perhaps adding extra insulation. But I cap off all the prep by covering the modern Heating as well as Air Conditioning unit with a difficult plastic shell. That cover genuinely came in handy last month when a giant icicle came crashing down on the modern Heating as well as high tech Air Conditioning unit. It genuinely does pay to be prepared for winter months. That icicles fell from more than 30 feet plus would have taken out at least the entire grill covering the Heating as well as high tech Air Conditioning fan, if not the fan itself.

In the world of heating and air conditioning, the little things add up

I don’t cook things on the oven or on the stove but rather outside on the gas grill while I was in the Summer to avoid making too much heat in the house

When you have consistently lived on a pretty narrow household budget, you tend to genuinely pay lots of close mind to the little things. And often, it’s those little things that make the difference between remaining within the budget numbers plus not. So around here, the two of us are fond of paying mind to savings we get via the little things. A root beer that costs 7 bucks is nearly as much as an entire six pack of root beer at the store. So the two of us make root beer at home on our own. Same goes with the modern heating plus cooling of our home. Granted, where the two of us reside , there aren’t a whole lot of costs associated with the heating of our home. Our winter months are super mild plus the wonderful heat pump doesn’t have to produce a great deal of heating for us. In fact, the two of us can almost always handle the early afternoon breeze with a section heater. But the best Heating as well as Air Conditioning utility cost comes from the high tech air conditioner. The modern Heating as well as Air Conditioning cooling is on from April to August. But it’s the few weeks of Summer where the genuinely Heating as well as high tech Air Conditioning cooling costs can be insanely high. So the two of us ensure the two of us are doing all the essentials to save on modern Heating as well as high tech Air Conditioning care about keeping a narrow home plus some thermostat control. But it’s the tiny things that the two of us do that genuinely add to those modern Heating as well as high tech Air Conditioning cooling savings. All of us don’t run the washer in the Summer to keep from overheating the home plus hang our clothes to dry outside. I don’t cook things on the oven or on the stove but rather outside on the gas grill while I was in the Summer to avoid making too much heat in the house. And the two of us use fans for cooling in the Summertime so the two of us can keep the temperature in the 60’s while I was in the peak sunshine hours of summer. And it all adds up to so much savings.

In the world of heating and air conditioning, almost is not a word

I assume this so why didn’t I begin saving for the modern heating plus cooling system? That’s a question I don’t have the slightest answer to.

Measured risks are an area of life. All of us all face situations where the two of us simply have to make a determination that is based around a particular amount of risk. That’s just space of it. However, a measured risk is another thing. Taking an important occasion because you weren’t well prepared is quite another type of thing. The latter is the sort of risk I ended up taking with our modern Heating as well as advanced Air Conditioning equipment. I assume how long we’ve resided in this house. Also, I know that the two of us replaced the Heating as well as the high tech Air Conditioning component about three years after the two of us bought our home. So, I can do the simple math plus deduct how old the modern Heating as well as Air Conditioning unit truly is. Given those factors, once the modern Heating as well as Air Conditioning unit hit the fifteen year mark, I should have started another savings account to replace the Heating as well as high tech Air Conditioning equipment. But I didn’t even get even close to doing that at all. The idea of having to replace the modern Heating as well as Air Conditioning component just somehow was lost on me. While the both of us have always had the modern Heating as well as high tech Air Conditioning professionals perform the needed regular Heating as well as high tech Air Conditioning service, the Heating as well as advanced Air Conditioning component wasn’t going to always last. I assume this so why didn’t I begin saving for the modern heating plus cooling system? That’s a question I don’t have the slightest answer to. So when the Heating as well as the high Air Conditioning worker came out to do the air conditioner servicing, he told myself and others that the modern Heating as well as Air Conditioning component was almost dead. My partner plus I had to make a decision plus the two of us chose to finally see if the two of us could get a few more Summer weeks out of the Heating as well as high tech Air Conditioning system. All of us got to the end of June before the Heating as well as high tech Air Conditioning component finally broke down. Close but no cigar.

Summer savings on air conditioning and heating have never been this easy

I’m not exactly one of those people who is always now working on a home project or has his head under the bumper of the souped up car.

That’s just never been a strength of mine. I can do a couple things around the home plus I’m a good listener. But this past Summer was the first year that I readied the home in order to save on Heating as well as advanced Air Conditioning cooling. All of us live in a portion of the nation that sees a genuinely sizzling summer. And until now, I just sort of yelled about the modern Heating as well as Air Conditioning cooling costs. Well, that’s just really stupid. Why whine when I could truly just get a bit proactive plus save that currency. So I went on to the net plus it took myself and others about 30 minutes to understand the bare essentials when it comes to saving on Heating as well as Air Conditioning cooling. The first thing I did was change out all weather stripping everywhere on the house. Keeping the gaps genuinely thin and narrow to keep the heat out plus the cooling comfort in is a big priority. Then, I ensured that all windows that got direct sun heating were covered all summer long. That just left ensuring the thermostat setting was never more than 15 degrees cooler than the ambient outdoor temperature. It was a bit warmer in the home while I was in the peak heating time but the two of us just destroyed our fans if the two of us were home. I stuck to the proposal plus the high tech Heating as well as Air Conditioning savings were silly good. I ended up saving tens of thousands of dollars over the course of the entire summer.

air conditioning repair

It’s important to keep the heat flowing with regularly scheduled HVAC maintenance

There is never an evening where I’m not thinking about coming home to our perfectly Heating as well as high tech Air Conditioning controlled home.

I spend a lot of our afternoon outside for work plus coming home to good quality heating plus cooling is just essential to our life.

Of course heating plus high tech cooling is essential to all of our lives plus yet, the two of us tend to continually take our modern Heating as well as Air Conditioning unit for granted. It’s pretty easy to do so as given all the other things that are tugging at us for attention. Yet, I assume that if I spent too much of our afternoon in near hundred degree heat only to come home to a heat pump blowing lukewarm air, I’d be beside myself. So I just make sure that’s not going to happen. I don’t have any sort of mystical Heating as well as Air Conditioning equipment. All of us are just so absolutely fortunate to have high tech heating plus air provided by some reliable modern Heating as well as high tech Air Conditioning equipment. But it’s no more special than our neighbors. What is key is the Heating as well as Air Conditioning maintenance our Heating as well as high tech Air Conditioning firm provides for us. All of us belong to the Heating as well as high tech Air Conditioning repair proposal plus that comes with seasonal Heating as well as occasional high tech Air Conditioning maintenance. The Heating as well as Air Conditioning unit gets heating repaired in the fall plus an air conditioner tune-up in the Springtime. This ensures that our high tech Heating as well as Air Conditioning component is running at tip top energy efficiency plus mitigates the odds of encountering any sort of heating plus cooling breakdown. Again, I want to think that when I finally come home all hot plus sweaty, I’ll open the door to our house plus be enveloped in all that Heating as well as Air Conditioning cooling. Heating as well as high tech Air Conditioning is just too key to all of our lives not to get Heating as well as high tech Air Conditioning maintenance on a very regular basis.

Water Heater is a Blessing We Take for Granted

I have never had to take a cold shower because I have always had a water heater

I have been volunteering in various capacities throughout my life. Sometimes I volunteer at the shelter and cook for the people that come for dinner. Sometimes I volunteer to clean up along the Riverbanks. Sometimes I volunteer to rock babies at the hospital. Well, recently, I decided to volunteer and help some of the refugees who have come to our country recently. Anyway, what I do is I help the refugees get acclimated to life in the United States. I have discovered through this volunteering opportunity that I am a thousand times more blessed than I ever even realized. For example, almost none of the refugees has any idea about HVAC. They don’t come from a background where there is Heating and Cooling. In fact, many of them have never lived in anything other than a tent. I met one couple who were in a refugee resettlement camp in another country as children, they grew up in the camp in tents, fell in love, and got married all in the refugee camp. They never had a water heater, so their bathing was always cold. They never had Heating and Cooling, so if it was cold outside they built a fire oh, and if it was hot outside they tried their best to find shade and cool water. My entire life, I have always flipped the switch from heating to cooling or vice versa when the weather changed dramatically outside. I have never had to take a cold shower because I have always had a water heater. In fact, once the water heater was broken, and I left the house and went to stay at a hotel so I can have a water heater and hot shower. This experience with the refugees has made me quite grateful.

Loving the AC After Long Dog Walks

I adopted a dog last year after my previous dog passed away.

Her dog was a border collie, but I did get her at the shelter.

I went back to the same shelter and got the dog I have now. She’s really just a mutt, but mostly she is Pitbull. She’s a very lovely dog and she has charm to me from day one. Unfortunately, though, she does not get along with other dogs very well, and she’s unpredictable around most people. Well, not really most people, but men. She loves women, but she doesn’t seem to like men as much. Anyway, I do have quite a bit of arthritis and a couple of other conditions that make walking her rather difficult. Even so, I do my best. I try to take her to big fields where she can sniff to her heart’s content on a Long Leash. My favorite part of these little Outdoor Adventures with my dog is coming back home to the air conditioning. Even though this time of year is not super hot, I am hot natured and I feel like I have my own furnace going on inside my body most of the time. When I get back home, I am thrilled to be back in the AC. I normally have to rest, and kicking back and enjoying the air conditioning while the dog takes a nap is quite lovely for me. If it’s on the weekend, I also enjoy getting out a good book and reading it. Sometimes, I will set the thermostat to a really low temperature, and then I will snuggle underneath a blanket or throw. It’s nice to have strong AC blasting on you when you have been out giving your dog her exercise.

Cooling the Cider in the Snow is No Longer an Option

Growing up in the Northeast was a lot different than life here in the Southeast.

One of my favorite memories of Thanksgiving is taking the big glass jug of apple cider and putting it outside in the snow to get cold. We would then drink that cider with our meal. Even if we didn’t have snow by Thanksgiving, there was always enough natural cooling outside to get the cider nice and chilled before dinner. Anyway, I don’t really drink apple cider much anymore, since there are no apple orchards where you can go and get it, and the kind from the grocery store just isn’t as good. Even though it’s no longer possible to chill the drinks outside, this time of year is still lovely. Living in the south east has some advantages, after all. I do like the change of seasons, and I do wish it would get slightly colder, but I certainly don’t want to have to drive in snow. At this time of year, in my neck of the woods, we do have a bit of natural pulling going on most of the time. Often, I get to turn off the HVAC system altogether and open up the windows. That is my favorite thing to do. I’m sure the air conditioner doesn’t mind getting a little rest either! I also take this opportunity to call in the HVAC repairman. I set up an ac service call at this time of year to make sure that if I need the furnace, it will be working properly. This year, I haven’t needed to use the heater at all. It’s been kind of a blessing because I generally consider it more expensive to run the heating than to run the cooling. I’m not sure if it’s actually true or if it’s just my imagination, but the heater certainly seems to be pricey.

Picking Apples Was an Adventure

One of my favorite times of year is Autumn.

I live in the Southeast, and it’s hot and humid here almost all year long.

Often, though, once Autumn rolls around, we will have a little bit of natural cooling going on. Some years it’s better than others. This past year we had a nice Autumn with lots of natural Cooling in the air. I was able to turn off my HVAC system for almost 2 weeks. I was quite happy about it, as that saves money and also allows me to get fresh air into the house. Then, I decided that all of them were so much fun I needed to go on an adventure. This year, I chose for my adventure and apple picking weekend. I got in the car and put the dog in the back seat and headed off in a Northerly Direction. It was quite odd, though, because as I drove farther north it got hotter. That is very unusual, of course, and when I happened upon the apple orchard and hotel, I discovered that I really needed to blast the AC. In addition, I used the air conditioner in the car almost the whole way. Now that Autumn is over, I expected the weather in my little city to get even colder, and that would be fabulous because it would seem more like Christmas. Unfortunately, though, I have no need to turn on the furnace. In fact I don’t think I will be able to turn my thermostat settings from cooling to heating any more this year. It seems to be quite hot outside even at night oh, so I am being forced to use the air conditioner despite the fact that this is the week before Christmas.Even though I didn’t have the weather I preferred, my apple picking was certainly an adventure.
