HVAC Information For Homeowners

The air conditioner machine just couldn’t keep up with the demand over the weekend last week.

It got so tepid outside that I was miserable for the most part for the entire weekend! Sporadically I wonder why I even try to live here because it entirely gets tepid here during the summer.

I just do not do well when there are high hot plus cold temperatures, plus I absolutely should move up north anywhere where it doesn’t get as hot, then up until this point in my life, though, I have just not made any large moves like that plus I don’t know that I ever will; and now that I am getting older, maybe I will start liking the heat more than I have previously. I know a lot of older people end up moving south because they like the high hot plus cold temperatures down there, so maybe it will turn out to be the same way for me plus I can continue to stay here; As it is right now, I will continue to keep on using the a/c in my home on full blast throughout the tepid Summer months, and last weekend though, it was crazy. It is not always this tepid during the Springtime around here, so most people were pretty surprised that my friend and I had such high hot plus cold temperatures. I think that is why the air conditioning was unable to keep up with the demand that I was putting on it, but my pal and I haven’t had our typical yearly air conditioning tune up yet because it’s so early in the season. Hopefully the central air conditioner tune up will get everything running smoothly with the heating and A/C unit.

At this hotel my friend and I stayed the other evening, the a/c kept turning off every two hours, and it wasn’t so bad when my friend and I were awake; but after my friend and I went to sleep, it became entirely frustrating.

I kept waking up every time the air conditioning turned off.

I prefer having undoubtedly white noise while I am sleeping, plus so when it turns off suddenly, it makes me wake up with a jolt. I can’t even sleep whenever there is total silence, plus that is exactly what kept on happening while my friend and I were at the hotel. I am not going to lie about it either. It entirely annoys me how I can spend so much money for one evening in a hotel room plus then the air conditioning keeps me from even getting one relaxing evening’s sleep! I was more than a little miffed about the whole entire thing when I got up the following morning plus then went down for supper in the lobby. I told the employer at the front desk of the hotel about the problems with the air conditioner plus he said that there was not anything that he could do about it! He honestly commiserates with me plus told me that he hated the modern a/c also. He said that most people who came into the hotel complained about it, then the owners of the hotel had decided corporately that that was the direction that they were going as far as the eco-friendly movement goes, however everyone hates it, but that is the way it is from now on. I hope other hotels do not simply follow in their footsteps, though!

Today’s workday is moving at a snail’s pace as I try to write with blurry vision.

My vision wasn’t blurry enough to miss this really pretty lady passing by me this morning on my way back from the beach. It is amazing how the beauty of a woman can captivate you and jar your mind. I am still trying to shake the image of her so I can get back to work, but it is carved in my mind and will probably be there for a while. Cooling my mind down so I can get back to work is a must, and there is nothing like writing HVAC stories for hours to take the image of the pretty lady out of my mind. I can’t daydream about her and try to write these stories well, so I’ll just release her from my memory so I can get back to work like the good worker bee I am. Who knows, maybe she’ll come into the HVAC business one day looking for a HEPA filter or something, but she is way out of my league so I don’t have to worry about anything coming out of that meeting. Besides, if she dated me I would be a nervous wreck all of the time thinking she is going to leave me for someone better. I’ll just do my work at the local business and life will go on, even if I never see that pretty ghost again. Anyway, I am going to go grab something to eat and we will meet again in another story.

The local contractor was also a swooper and died from a swooping accident, and if you don’t know what swooping is take a look on YouTube and you’ll see why my body has a lot of miles on it

I’ve had this flu thing for a few days now and as I type I notice that my vision is blurrier than normal. I assume it is because of this virus and hopefully the blurriness will go away once it is gone. My right eye is much worse than my left, but I also have astigmatism in that eye so maybe it is compounded with the flu I have. I hope that is the case and that my vision didn’t get that much worse in the past few days of my life, if so then a trip to the local business to get my eyes checked will be next. I also have to get my teeth looked at because I’m having teeth problems. Like my heating tech friend told me, I need to start taking better care of myself and slowing down a bit so my body doesn’t wear out. I have been very rough on this body and I am amazed it is still functioning at 56 years on the planet, especially with all of the skydiving landing accidents I had when I was swooping for a profession. The local contractor was also a swooper and died from a swooping accident, and if you don’t know what swooping is take a look on YouTube and you’ll see why my body has a lot of miles on it. We used to swoop not just on water but also on land, which is where the pain came from with rough landings. Now I just do HVAC repairs and maintenance and have put my swooping in the past.

 

a/c care plan

So I think I will tell her to come for a visit but maybe stay in a hotel next to where I live so that she doesn’t have to be in this germ infested flat.

Last night as I was trying to sleep I was so hungry but didn’t want to eat because my throat was hurting so much. I finally caved in and ate a banana, which didn’t seem to hurt my throat so much because I chewed it really well. After that, I was able to fall asleep again and stay asleep for the next several hours. I think I slept about nine hours last night and today I am feeling a bit better but my throat still hurts and I am pretty tired as well. I should be feeling better for my HVAC worker to visit this weekend, but I don’t know if I will be well enough for her to safely stay here in my climate controlled flat without risking catching what I have. So I think I will tell her to come for a visit but maybe stay in a hotel next to where I live so that she doesn’t have to be in this germ infested flat. I just hope my cooling rep roommate doesn’t get what I have because I will feel really bad if she does, but all I can do is try to keep quarantined and away from her for the next few days while I am contagious. I am staying in my office most of the time and doing my work so that I am not around her too much, which seems to be working so far because she still is feeling fine. I bought some good kefir from the local business and am taking that to fight this thing.

I haven’t been sick in a long time, so I guess getting this flu or whatever I have was necessary for a cleansing and a test of my immunity.

I ran myself down last weekend and I think that is how I ended up with this nasty bug I have.

This makes me grateful for being healthy because getting sick is not fun and it really saps your energy and makes you feel lifeless. I normally have a good amount of energy and I think this cold is going to make me make some changes in my life. My cooling rep told me that I should stop drinking beer for a while to let my immune system get stronger, and I think I will heed her advice and quit for a while and focus on my HVAC tech work. I don’t drink that much, but I have noticed that it is more than I was drinking a few years ago, so it is time to break the pattern and quit altogether. Working on ductwork, especially in the summer when it is really hot out, can take a lot of energy and if you are hungover from drinking it doesn’t help the situation and makes your HVAC work that much more unpleasant. I think this cold was necessary to help me in making changes in my life so that my life is moving in a better direction than it was. Like the old HEPA filter worker would tell me, everything happens for a reason and we should always try to become a better version of ourselves in the process.

That is the worst, when you are sick and then you give it to your lover or your roommate, so keeping the germs to a minimum is the main priority as I try to get rid of this cold

I am slowly waking up and starting my workday with this flu bug I have. I really don’t have the energy to do much else so it is kind of easier because I have all day to just focus on this work. I can take breaks when my eyes get tired and just do the work slowly and it will get done by the time the night falls. I have a good schedule and can work when I want, so I can just plug away and do my work and it will get done on its own accord. Indoor air quality is my main issue with this flu because I don’t want the germs spreading into my flatmate’s room and getting her sick, so I am running my whole home air purifying system all the time and I am hoping that the HEPA filter in it will remove any bad stuff in the air so it doesn’t reach her room. That is the worst, when you are sick and then you give it to your lover or your roommate, so keeping the germs to a minimum is the main priority as I try to get rid of this cold. My cooling and heating corp owner is supposed to come visit me in three days and I am hoping that I am better by then so we can hang out for a couple days. Let’s see how strong my immune system is and if it can get me better in time to see a really good friend. I’ll go clean my HEPA filter again now.

I woke up to a pleasant gift with my stock this morning, making $850 at one point but now it is down to $485. It’s all just a game of chance and it still doesn’t negate the fact that I am down $100K so don’t be too jealous. Who knows what this car company will end up doing but at least they got a loan today for $100M to ramp up production so maybe this is the start of my recovery. It will probably take two or three years for me to recover that money if the company is successful. Heating and cooling system work will be on the slate until then though, working as an HVAC tech for the company in my town. I am fine with working a few more years and waiting for this investment to yield something because I don’t need the money now anyways. My mini split air con system kept me comfy last night, even though I am sick with the flu and have a pretty bad fever as well. I am sleeping like 12 hours a night to help my body kick this thing and I have four more days to get better before my friend comes to visit. She is a cooling supplier and is doing an HVAC system convention in another town and is going to visit me if I get better in four or so days. I’ve had this thing for three days now and I can feel it shifting around in my body as my immune system tries to get rid of it.

My cooling expert friend said that some people are cut out for kids, but the ones who aren’t but have them usually aren’t that happy about the freedom they gave away

I will finish this article and then go to my room for an hours down. That is what my gramps called it when he took an hour nap in the day, followed by going to bed at 7pm some nights so he could get a good night’s sleep. That man loved to sleep I’ll tell you that, but what a cool life he had in the end with his lake house and multitude of parties and fun. He lived on the lake and fished almost every single day, which supplied the family with more than enough fried fish dinners. The cooling industry is where my gramps worked when he was younger, retiring at 54 years old as an HVAC rep and living the retired life for 35 years before dying at the age of 89. He had six kids and a ton of friends who would visit him on a regular basis, making me wonder if I am living the right life having no kids. My cooling expert friend said that some people are cut out for kids, but the ones who aren’t but have them usually aren’t that happy about the freedom they gave away. I play drums and sing in a band and I don’t think I would have the time or energy to do so if I was working all the time and raising a bunch of kids. Anyway, today I am going to the heating supplier store to see if they have any smart thermostats in stock because mine is pretty much on its way out and needs to be replaced.

My energy is coming in waves as my body tries to fight off the flu infection I have.

I will have spurts of energy followed by periods of severe tiredness where I feel like climbing in my bed and sleeping for hours.

Maybe I’ll write two more articles and then take a nap to recharge before doing the last 30 minutes of work for the day. Luckily, I don’t have to go to work for 10 hours in some office job and suffer with this cold while I stare at the clock hoping for 6pm to come. Air conditioner and heater manufacturing was my desk job back in the day when I worked for this big HVAC company as an engineer. I was making a lot of money but was not enjoying being cooped up in a cubicle all day long staring at emails and writing reports. Heating and cooling systems are a necessity in this world, but I will let someone else do that work while I get to be free and on my own. I moved overseas many years ago to do music and comedy and have never regretted my decision to do so. I just miss my mom and her gas fireplace while we hang out and chat about life, but I can’t cling to my mom forever and I need to live my own life because she will be gone one day. That is going to be a bitter pill to swallow but I guess I will learn to live without her in the end. I wish you good luck.

I need to muster up the strength to finish these stories today, as I am feeling a bit under the weather and finding it tough to keep pushing forward.

• But somehow I will find a way to get them done and then I can lie down on my sofa and melt into the cushions.

I just ate some soup with pasta and I feel a bit better having some food in my body, as it has been tough to eat anything with the sore throat I have had. I have about an hour max of work left with heating and cooling system stories and then I can relax the rest of the day and play with my cats if I feel like it. I also have to do my 15 minute yoga routine because my body is very sore and it would be good for my muscles and joints to move a bit. I missed my yoga yesterday, opting for a trip to the local business to get some medicine to help me make it through this illness. Today is Tuesday and I think by Friday I will be almost 100% again, but I need to rest a lot to make that happen as my body needs energy to fight this cold. I have a cooling rep friend visiting me Sunday so I need to be better by then so we can work on my HVAC system and get it up and running for the coming summer season. The weather is heating up and it won’t be long before I am running the unit all day.
