HVAC Information For Homeowners

Right after I got out of high school, I decided I wanted to become an HVAC technician.

It was not something I had any experience with, although I had watched my grandpa for years; he was a heating and air conditioning professional.

I looked for the best school to go to in order to get training for certification as a heating and cooling technician. At this vocational school, I learned everything about heating and cooling, enough to pass my final exam and get my certification. I found a job with a quality HVAC company, and my first day on the job went very well. I was a natural, and it all came together as if I was working on these complex systems for years! I still could benefit from learning more information about this exciting trade, but I know enough to be able to work in the field and repair and install brand new up-to-date central heating and cooling systems. I am ecstatic I did what I did, that I chose this career for myself. Deep down, I think this has been what i have been wanting most of my life. Now that it is finally here, I truly appreciate all of the aspects of it; I will do well as a certified heating and cooling specialist.

For the first time ever, I finally took the plunge and decided to try out some washable air filters for my central heating and cooling system.

The washable air filters were of the HEPA brand; I tried washable air filters. I wanted them to be the best possible. And I am so happy I did! These washable air filters truly worked! I had doubted the whole concept of washable air filters to begin with, which is why for so long I didn’t try them. I figured it was some kind of lame hype, and when you tried to scrub them they would fall apart right on the spot, or not truly be clean and reusable. Well, I was wrong, with these HEPA washable air filters. With these deluxe, practical filters, I avoided having to replace any of them for almost six months! That is how long you can keep washing them until they are filthy and need to be replaced. But again, I’m just talking about the HEPA brand washable air filters that I experienced. Since, I have been buying nothing but HEPA brand washable air filters for my central heating and cooling unit! I will never be going back to others air filters after seeing how great these washable air filters truly are. I don’t know about others, but these HEPA washable air filters are the best and nothing in my opinion can compete with them!

My local heating and air conditioning supply company has been promoting their maintenance plan rigorously lately. At first, I was scarcely interested. However, after hearing what it was all about in deep detail, I decided to sign up and pay for a year of this deluxe maintenance plan they were pushing. Heating and cooling repair plans that cover everything you need and are worth the money are not easy to come by. My local HVAC company entirely had one of the very few out there that covered everything I wanted, which is why I finally signed up. I got it right at the respected time, too, because they are no longer offering the heating and cooling repair proposal to any other buyers at this time. They are all sold out as far as they are sad. I was very fortunate that I signed up for it when I did; had I not, I would have missed out on such a great deal of heating and cooling repair and protection service. I will most likely renew it next year, as well, because it is important to be covered. Also, having tune-ups and seasonal inspects included is a nice bonus. I wouldn’t want to lose that.

My spouse and I went to a truly great jazz concert the other weekend.

The songs were great, the location perfect, and most of all the air conditioning was great! Having perfect indoor comfort is important at concerts.

And with the temperatures as hot as they have been lately, outside, having great air conditioning inside the venue was truly a godsend, not only for us in the audience, but for the jazz band as well. I can only imagine how tough it must be to play with horrible air conditioning when it is too hot out. Some places will cancel the shows if it’s too hot and they don’t have adequate air conditioning, until they can upgrade their commercial heating and cooling units. That is how important air conditioning and heating are at high class concert locales that offer jazz and classical shows. It is not like some wild outdoor rock concert where all the people are on drugs and don’t know if it’s hot or cold. It’s a completely different scenario. I am just glad my spouse and I chose a place that had everything under control with air comfort, because I have been in locales that were horribly uncomfortable. It was no fun whatsoever being in those places!

Last Christmas, I went home to see my family.

I had not been there in numerous years, and it was great to see all the people once again.

When I went to visit my brother, I was shocked and impressed by something he had in his home. He had a smart heating and cooling system! This smart HVAC system was nothing short of amazing, with smart air vents which adjusted themselves to make the air flow, and hot and cold temperatures that worked perfectly. I had never seen anything like that before – I didn’t even know it existed! These new smart heating and cooling systems are very fancy, but they are very expensive, so I will never be able to afford one. But my brother has enjoyable money and is pretty well off, so he could afford it. Also, this smart heating and cooling system has a smart temperature control. I knew about those already, but to have a smart temperature control working with a smart HVAC system is something to be experienced! The temperature control works extremely well with the heating and cooling system my brother has. It was a real experience, providing perfect indoor comfort while I was there. I won’t ever forget it. This year, I will not be going back to visit, as I will be spending the holidays with my spouse’s family, and our kids who live around here.

I called our local HVAC company, and I made an appointment.

I’m an only child, and I make sure that I take care of her plus watch over her new home as she gets older. My dad passed away when I was growing up, so my mom is living on her own now. She’s still able to take care of herself, but I still go over to help her whenever I have time. I observed that her oil furnace appeared to be operating strangely. The fan on the oil furnace seemed to be blowing all the time, but I wasn’t sure what caused the problem. I tested the air filters and that’s when I realized that it had been a very long time since I had cleaned them. The filters were jammed and they also needed to be changed; When I changed the filter, the problem persisted anyway. That[‘s when I knew that there must have been damage that was done to the limit switch. This caused it to malfunction. This can happen as a result of leaving filters jammed with debris for too long. And as much as I care about taking care of my mom’s beach home repairs for her on my own,with debris, I also knew that I needed to call a heating and cooling professional. There is simply no safe way to upgrade a limit switch if you are not a certified HVAC professional. I called our local HVAC company, and I made an appointment. They sent their HVAC serviceman over the very next morning. The HVAC technician was able to upgrade the limit switch. I’m just going to have to do a better task of changing the filters so that there is no other future.

The furnace in our house is located in the basement of our house, and our washer plus the dryer is also in the basement. I always look at the furnace when I go down to do the laundry, and a few days ago, I observed that the light on the furnace was flickering. It also looked much more orange than usual. I told my partner about it and he got really worried about it. He went down to the basement tight then to take a look at the furnace. Apparently the light I saw is called the pilot light, and it is also an indicator of significant problems with the furnace. He made a call to the emergency repair department at our local heating plus cooling company. I was confused because I didn’t see how a light could actually be an emergency, but I am so glad that he did. He needed to jump into action, that’s for sure. It turns out that the fluctuations in the pilot light indicated that there was excessive carbon monoxide in our furnace! The heating plus cooling professional arrived at our house and he promptly repaired the situation. I was shocked to find out just how dangerous of a situation both of us had on our hands. I’m glad that I noticed the light! It could have been a terrible situation for us, that’s for sure. I sincerely wouldn’t have thought anything of it. It’s really important to pay attention to your furnace so that you can avoid any major problems.
