HVAC Information For Homeowners

It is so hot this year! I have lived in the same area my entire life, and I cannot remember one summer that was as hot as this summer is.

My husband also grew up in this area, and he agrees with me that he has never experienced a warmer summer.

Both of us work outside most of the day, so we love to come home to a nice cool house. Unfortunately, that has not been happening lately because our air conditioner has been having some issues. We called an HVAC company about a month ago and told them about our situation. We asked how much it would cost for them to assess the problem. We got a quote, and it was pretty high. We decided to wait it out and see if my husband could figure out the problem himself. He was able to figure out the problem, but he said that he did not feel comfortable fixing it himself. He thought that he might possibly make it worse. He found a coolant leak, and he said that he could try to fix it, but he would prefer to have an HVAC technician do it. After a month of waiting, we finally had an HVAC technician come out and fix our air conditioner. It was very expensive, but we are glad to finally have an air conditioner once again. It is so nice to come home to a cool house after a long day of working outside. My husband and I have noticed that we argue less now that we are not sweaty and miserable in our house all of the time. I am so thankful to have air conditioning.

My husband and I fight over the temperature of our bedroom all the time, and it is hilarious.

We have basically made the rule that whoever gets into bed first gets to determine the temperature of the room.

I usually make it to bed first, so I make sure that the room is around seventy-five degrees. If my husband gets to bed first, he sets the temperature at sixty degrees. I cannot sleep if I am cold, so I bought a heated mattress pad that I use when my husband sets the temperature at sixty degrees. We usually keep our house at about seventy degrees during the day, and I get cold a lot of times, so I decided to buy a space heater. I did not just go buy the first one that I saw. I decided to look up what space heaters had the best reviews. To my amazement, I was at a second hand store one day, and I found a brand new space heater still in the box. It was so cool. The brand was one of the most recommended brands on the market. Of course, I bought it, and I am very impressed with how well it heats up a room. I put it in the living room where my desk is, and it heats the living room up to about eighty degrees. I love being able to work in such a warm room! Sometimes, I forget to turn it off before my husband gets home, and he gets pretty upset about it. He says that the living room feels like a sona. I agree, and I love it!

I hate moving.

• As a girl, my family moved quite often.

I counted once, and I think that I moved around thirty times from age two through fifteen. I assume that I hate moving because I moved so much when I was a child. My husband and I bought a cute little house when we first got married, and I thought that we would never have to move, but my husband was offered a really good job in a city about three hours west of where we were living. The pay for the job was double that of what he was currently getting paid, and the hours were much better as well. He simply could not resist, so we moved. It was quite the trip. Some men that helped us move accidently broke my china cabinet which was given to me by my grandmother, so I was really upset. Thankfully, my husband was able to fix my china cabinet, but I also dropped something. I dropped our only air conditioner. It broke into four huge pieces. I was hoping that I would be able to glue it back together, but it did not happen. It was definitely too destroyed to ever work again. My son saw how upset I was about it, so he tried to fix the air conditioner himself which was so sweet, but he was not able to fix it either. It honestly does not get that warm where we live, so we only need the air conditioner for about three months out of the year. My husband said that he would stop by the store after work today and buy us another air conditioner.

My husband and I moved into our house about four months ago. It was not good timing at all, but we fell in love with this house, so we sold our old house and bought this one. It was in the middle of the busiest time of year for both of us at work. We hardly packed anything. We just threw it into trucks and hauled it to our new house. Unfortunately, there was a lot of stuff that I did not have a place for at the time that we moved in, so it got stuffed into our garage. The messy garage drove me crazy for months. Finally, I decided that it was time to clean it out. The only issue was that the garage was not heated. It is a detached garage, and it gets really cold during the winter months. It was around fifteen degrees outside the day that I chose to clean the garage out, so I had to find some way to heat the garage. I decided to use my husband’s kerosene heater. I had no idea how to use it, so I looked up some tutorials online to figure out how to use it. Surprisingly, I was able to get the thing on and working. It actually heated the garage pretty well. I was sweating by the time that I was done. Of course, I did have to move a lot of heavy things, so that may have added to it. I am so happy to have the garage clean, and I am happy to have learned how to use our kerosene heater as well.

There is nothing like having a clean environment to work in. I love having a clean house because that is where I work. I built my own online business when I was sixteen years old, and I have been able to grow it quite immensely. I now have ten employees working for me, and it is a full time job for me as well. I love it though. Because I work from home, I have to make sure that my house is cleaned up before I can get any work done. It is sort of a pet peeve of mine, I guess. My husband does not understand because he can work in any type of environment, but I simply cannot. I get too distracted if I do not have clean office space. Not only am I concerned with the house being clean, but I also like the air to be clean as well. I bought an air purifier about five years ago when one of my friends told me about the benefits of having one. She said that she once struggled with allergies and getting sick all of the time, but after she got her air purifier, she has hardly struggled with any type of sickness at all. I have not noticed a significant improvement in my allergies, but I do like knowing that the air I am breathing in is clean. I think I may need to get a new air purifier soon though because mine smells weird. I have cleaned it a hundred times, and it still smells. I am currently looking into getting a new air purifier.

We called the owner of the house, and she said that it has always made that noise

My husband and I are in a weird predicament right now. We have been wanting to build a house from scratch for some time now, and we finally sold our first house in order to have enough money to start building our new one. We are so excited, but something happened that we did not expect. We sold our first house before we found the land that we want to build our new house on. We decided that we would have to end up renting for a little while, but a friend of a friend heard about our situation and offered us her house. She lives down south all winter long, so she has an empty house that she said we are welcome to use. We took her up on her offer, and we are now staying in her house. We are so thankful to be able to stay rent free, so it makes living in a very old house worth it. We have noticed some strange things in the house though. The furnace downstairs in the basement makes some really strange noises. At first, I thought that someone was down in the basement in the middle of the night, so I made my husband take his gun and go check. It was no one; it was the furnace. It makes sort of a banging noise. We called the owner of the house, and she said that it has always made that noise. We asked her if she wanted us to call an HVAC technician to take a look at it, and she said that it was not necessary. We cannot wait to start building our new home, but I am sort of excited to find out more creepy things about this old house.

My husband, Vincent, and I have been married for over seven years now.

I cannot believe how fast time flies.

I love him so much, and I would not trade our relationship for the world. He is so kind and so loving. He treats me like a princess, and I adore him. Even though we get along great, we are not perfect. There are some things that each of us do that annoy the other. I leave lights on in the house, and that annoys my husband so much. I do not try to leave them on, but I just really do not remember to turn them off when I leave a room. My husband says that when he gets home from work he will sometimes sit in the car and just count how many lights I have on in the house. My husband has a new habit that annoys me a bit and that is turning off the air conditioner. I am pregnant, and I am always super hot, so having the air conditioner on is a must for me. My husband tends to get cold at night, so he turns the air conditioner off which honestly does not bother me if I am sleeping, but he forgets to turn it back on the next morning, so I wake up to a warm, stuffy house which makes me so grumpy. To me, there is nothing worse than being hot when you are pregnant. I usually sit directly in front of the air conditioner and drink my coffee in the morning because it is the only way that I can stay cool enough.

I feel like I am always cleaning.

It is so annoying. I can remember my mother saying the same thing when I was younger, but I never understood it at that time. I definitely understand now. I have three wonderful children and an amazing husband, but they all tend to make messes and not clean up after themselves. I have made sure to teach my children ever since they were young to clean up after themselves, but if I am not right there to remind them to clean up their messes, they get distracted and go off to the next thing. Because I am always doing dishes or mundane household chores, I find that I do not clean certain things as much as I should. The HVAC units in my house were something that I never used to clean. I noticed one day that my air conditioner smelled really bad, so I decided to clean it for the first time since I bought it. It was filthy, and I was thoroughly grossed out. My husband suggested that I clean the air conditioner more often, so I made it part of my monthly to do list. I also thought that I should probably clean the furnace. I have never cleaned a furnace in my life, so I looked up some videos on the internet. It was nothing complex, so I decided to make cleaning the furnace part of my monthly routine as well. I am very happy with myself, and I hope to incorporate other things into my weekly or monthly cleaning routines that do not usually get done.

I have the greatest friend in the world… Katie, is my number one person on earth.

My associate and I have been friends since my associate and I were just five years old.

I cannot recognize how long my associate and I have known each other. I seriously cannot imagine life without my sweet friend. Katie is easily wonderful at solving problems plus fixing things. I feel like I am exactly the opposite. I tend to create the problems that she solves, but she really fixed my boiler on an accident the other afternoon. I easily wish that I could say that I accidently fixed something. I have no idea what was wrong with my heater, plus neither does she. My boiler would turn off before my house got up to temperature all of the time. It was so frustrating, then everytime that it turned off, I would have to go downstairs to the basement where the boiler was plus restart the stupid thing. It was a pain to say the least. I would say that it really shut off about three times per afternoon. I did not have the money to have an Heating & Air Conditioning company come over plus fix my heater, so I was just living with the problem. My best friend came over one afternoon, plus she asked me why it was so cold. I told her that the boiler was messed up. She went down plus messed with it for a few minutes, plus my boiler has not had any complications since. I cannot recognize it. I am so thankful for cool friends like Katie who have a way with things that I just don’t have, plus I really won’t ever have.

I don’t know how realistic that will be though because I get pretty cold in my family room during the evenings

I am so angry with myself because I ruined my number one blanket… You see, I had been so careful about setting my space boiler near anything that could melt, however the one afternoon that I forgot, I melted my number one blanket. That blanket was about twenty years old. It was a birthday gift to me plus my hubby. It had our birthday on it, plus I cannot recognize that I was deranged enough to set my space boiler close enough to that blanket to melt it. My hubby does not get as attached to things as I do, so I knew that he would not be as angry when I told him about the blanket as I was when I saw what had happened. I walked into the family room that afternoon, plus I smelled something weird. I could not figure out where the smell was coming from. I kept trying to follow my nose to the smell until I eventually found it. It was my melting blanket. I really cried when I first figured out what had happened. My hubby said that he is going to try his best to find the exact same blanket plus have our birthday stitched onto it just like the one that was melted. I am banning myself from using space boilers as punishment for not being careful. I don’t know how realistic that will be though because I get pretty cold in my family room during the evenings. I will really end up using a space boiler again just because of how cold it gets.

The porch gets so sizzling periodically that I have to turn the propane heating system off.

I had been debating for years whether or not to enclose my porch before I entirely decided to go ahead plus do it. I started the process last summer, plus the reason that I say it was a process was because I decided to do it all myself. I did not want to have to pay the money to have professionals come out plus do it. It took me about four months to complete the process, even though I am cheerful that I decided to enclose my porch on my own rather than hiring it done. I learned so much from that experience. By the time that I got the porch enclosed, it was chilly outside. I was super bummed about that because I thought that I would not be able to appreciate my newly enclosed porch. I decided to look into getting a heating system for the porch to make it possible for me to appreciate it even while in the colder months. I found a few different heaters, even though I ended up going with a small propane heater. I was not sure if it would put off enough heat to keep the porch warm, even though I was entirely surprised by the fact that it did. The porch gets so sizzling periodically that I have to turn the propane heating system off. I am so cheerful that I went with propane instead of using electricity. I did not know it at the time, however using propane is much cheaper than using electricity. I cherish my little propane heater, plus I am so thankful that I have a sizzling enclosed porch to appreciate even while in the chilly plus dreary winter time months.
