A couple of years ago, my husband and I retired from our jobs and headed south. We’d lived our entire lives in the northeast. We were tired of the extremely long and cold winters. We’d had enough of blizzard conditions, freezing rain, feet of snow accumulation and dangerous wind chills. Our goal was to move […]

For the majority of the year, the weather in my local area is especially cold. We are not surprised by temperatures down to negative-twenty five degrees. The winter conditions require the heating system to operate for six to eight months straight. A whole-home humidifier is almost a necessity. Cold air doesn’t retain as much moisture […]

My local area is well-known for our snowy conditions. We experience lake-effect snow which accumulates from sometime in October until April or even May. It’s not unusual for us to get several feet of snow in a single day. Along with snow flurries, snow showers, freezing rain and blizzard conditions, we also deal with extremely […]

My current thermostat was already installed when my husband and I bought our house over twenty years ago. It was not new when our family moved in. While we’ve made a lot of improvements to the property, we never considered replacing the thermostat. We’ve installed a new roof, new windows and completely new kitchen. We’ve […]

My husband and I spent over a year touring properties for sale. While we were anxious to move our family out of a cramped apartment, we had specific requirements for our new home. A safe neighborhood, sizable yard and two-car garage were priorities. I was hoping for a large kitchen, open floor plan and plenty […]

My husband and I try to live as environmentally responsible as possible. We are diligent about recycling. We grow many of our own fruits and vegetables, using rainwater for irrigation and making our own compost for fertilizer. We use public transportation, walk or ride our bicycles whenever possible. We have installed solar panels to provide […]

I learned about ductless heat pumps last year, when I was looking for some way to improve the comfort of my home. The house was built in the early 1900s and has undergone a great deal of remodeling. There are insufficient supply and return vents in specific rooms to handle demand. The bedrooms upstairs tend […]

I am always looking for ways to reduce the cost of heating and cooling. I’ve figured out that temperature control adds up to approximately fifty percent of the household energy usage. About a year ago, I read an article that provided a bunch of energy saving recommendations. According to that article, the majority of residential […]

I recently started working at a shop downtown, and I like it. Though the work is a lot, and the task can be demanding, I still prefer working there. In addition, I have just gotten into a current relationship. A few weekends ago, I was scheduled to have my electric heat pump updated. It has […]

I have dealt with multiple heating dealers in my adulthood, and multiple have almost the same strategies. I have also met some absolutely talented HVAC professionals who went above and beyond to give quality heating service. When I was living with my friend Kara, the boiler, at one point, just stopped working, and kara, who […]

After wanting to do so for a long time, I recently built my own home. I wanted my own house, but I needed more funds, so being usual with the section and knowing it got cold at night, I knew I needed to invest in HVAC products. The heating dealership I visited recommended a great […]
