We had never seen such a massive window AC unit

It’s good to have a hobby that has nothing to do with your career.

My friend and I are HVAC technicians, and we love what we do.

To be honest, the HVAC industry has come a long way, and we are grateful to have a source of income. This has led to us having families, and making sure they have all that they need. Our jobs entail working on commercial and residential HVAC systems. We both have 5 years experience each in installation, repair and service. However, when we clock out, we like to go exploring and check out abandoned places. In our area, there’s vast forest land, and so do the neighboring states. That means we always have a new place each month to go explore. We started checking out abandoned places when we were in college. A group of us decided to go hiking in a new area during the weekend, and came across an abandoned mansion. It looked like no one had lived there in decades, so we scaled the walls, and got inside. The big items were still there, but there’s also a lot that was missing. We spent hours exploring and trying to imagine the life of its former occupants. Later that year, my friend and I went to another abandoned place to explore, and that’s how the hobby started. We recall this one house we went to where we came across the biggest window AC unit. It was such a sight, and we made sure to snap lots of pics so we could do more research on it.

Sorting an inefficient ductless mini-split system problem

I had to stay at an Airbnb for two months while working.

The owner had listed that it had an electric heat pump, but once I got there, I discovered that it was a ductless mini-split system. I didn’t know much about air conditioning, but my sister, who’s better traveled, had told me to ensure that whatever HVAC installation they had, to ensure that it would have new filters if I f. to stay healthy. The owner organized for an a/c worker from the local cooling corporation to ensure I had everything I needed to be assured that the house had adequate help with indoor comfort. I’m pretty social, so I interacted with the a/c professional who told me the actual name of the quality HVAC the house had. I also learned how to operate the digital thermostat according to the house rules set by the owner, who was keen on energy saving. While I wondered about the name mix-up, I was happy to have a working AC. My joy did not last long though something changed, and I could not reach the owner to report it as an emergency. I ended up calling the same cooling specialist who had come in to do the air conditioner service, and luckily he was available despite the hour. The random air conditioner tune-up showed that everything was okay with the unit but found a problem with the thermostat. I had not understood the instructions on handling it well and turned it lower than it would take to warm me up. That experience made me think that I would need to add a local indoor comfort business to my list of essential service providers close to anywhere I book to stay for work or pleasure.

Holiday cabin with ductless mini-split system

I love holidays away from home because I experience other living spaces and pick up ideas and, if I’m lucky, decor pieces. My HVAC installation is an electric heat pump we got from the local cooling corporation when they first brought them over, but I have seen different equipment people use to help with indoor comfort that I’d wish to have. During one of those holidays, we spent two weeks at a cabin that had a ductless mini-split unit that the owners had installed for each cabin. I loved that they let us freely control the air conditioning using the digital thermostat and insisted that we turn it off if we wouldn’t indoors. Otherwise, they didn’t bother us with energy-saving details like most facilities do. I loved that it could be used for each space and thought it ideal for our garage, which needed quality HVAC installed once we converted it to a studio. According to the cabin manager, they bought it at the HVAC online and had a local a/c worker install it. Every three months, the a/c professional also came around to do an air conditioner tune-up, where they cleaned it and changed the filters. I found their air conditioner service schedule a bit excessive, but they reminded me it was for a commercial property where many people came around, and they had to take caution and care for it. Anyway, when we got back home, I checked out the local indoor comfort business for a similar unit, and we were lucky to find one compatible with our garage space. The cooling specialist and installation costs were very affordable, and so was the maintenance.

Roaches in my ductless mini-split air conditioner

Have you ever had a roach problem? I had a horrible experience with them, especially when they entered my HVAC installation.

  • I lived in the city shortly after graduating.

The house had a ductless mini-split system to help with indoor comfort, and I didn’t expect it would cause any trouble. And it worked well. I loved that I could easily regulate its use using the digital thermostat features I had for each room in the house. The air conditioner tune-up with the cooling corporation was also very easy because the a/c worker stayed short when he came around for air conditioner service and maintenance. All my comfort with the quality HVAC changed when the roaches made it to the apartments. They came in through the drainage systems, and we needed help to do something. I could hear them moving around the house like they paid rent at night. The first time I saw them in the air conditioning system, I didn’t think much about it. I thought they were passing through as all other insects did. Until my house started smelling like roaches, I knew it had to do with the AC. Once the air quality deteriorated, I knew I had to immediately call the a/c worker for help. I had never cleaned the unit alone, wondered if it could be opened, and was not ready to take risks. The a/c professional cleaned it, but unfortunately, my roach problem was not resolved. Eventually, I had to move away because everything, including the fridge, was a possible home for the pests. How many times would I have had to clean it if I had stayed?

My friend's big home uses ductless mini-split systems

I visited my college friend’s home last summer, and interestingly, they had a ductless mini-split system for their home’s air conditioning, and it worked perfectly.

Such an HVAC installation only worked for small spaces, but they had made it work across all their five bedrooms. The air quality in the house was adequate and provided enough help with indoor comfort. I asked them why they opted for that as their quality HVAC because it saved them more energy compared to their older unit. They had the option of an electric heat pump but eventually decided that the mini split would be cheaper for them. Since every space has its digital thermostat, they can control the home’s temperature and energy use depending on what they need to use. For example, the bedroom I was staying in had only been conditioned when I was coming. They also easily managed air conditioner tune-up because the cooling corporation sent over a cooling specialist when they were due for air conditioner service and maintenance, which wasn’t expensive. They are also lucky to have one of the biggest indoor comfort businesses in their town because they can access the services of an a/c worker as fast as possible, unlike where I lived. My house is a small rental with an old central HVAC system, and after visiting my friends, I thought about installing a similar unit because I already had repair troubles every month, and I could not move. I window-shopped at the HVAC business in my friend’s town and found a unit that would fit perfectly into my two-bedroom space, but it wasn’t available in my local town.

Good a/c in the car during the road trip

Taking road trips can be a lot of fun if you do it with the right people.

Unfortunately, my main experience of road trips in my life has been my family. My parents took my siblings and I on road trips almost every summer in a cramped station wagon. It was not a fun experience needless to say. I never got to choose any of the stops along the way like my siblings did. I was the youngest so I was given the least consideration when it came to figuring out where we would stop along the way and during the journey. I hated staying in hotel rooms too. We would always get the cheapest ones my friends could Ford and front were always frustrated by how cramped they were inside. But the car was even worse. Back then the car did not have an air conditioner inside of it. We had to deal with the windows being cracked. It would get extremely hot during long road trips in that car. I just really wish we’d had an air conditioner in the time I think I would have enjoyed the trips a lot more. Now I have a car with a good air conditioner in it and it makes for a much more enjoyable trip when I use a car for travel. It sure is great having a good air conditioner inside your car, especially if you live in a region with a lot of warm temperatures throughout the year. That’s when you’re definitely going to want a good air conditioner in your car.

Getting the furnace fixed in time for winter

I’m getting stressed out knowing that winter is soon approaching.

One of the biggest factors is that my job goes into high gear during the winter season.

We end up having to work overtime hours and I get even less time to spend with my family. It upsets me, my wife, and my children. It’s rough because the winter holiday season is often the time you want to spend with your family the most. I love decorating the house and having amazing sit-down dinners before we all go into the living room and have a fire in the fireplace. It can be an amazing experience, but it’s hard to have these experiences when my work won’t even allow me to get home enough to do that. Everything gets postponed and it’s extremely frustrating. I also have to get the house ready for the winter season as well. We have to make sure all the doors and windows are properly weather- stripped and sealed so that drafts don’t get in. We have a furnace right now that needs to be fixed as well. And I want to make sure that it’s fixed before we start meeting it all day long, every single day. I’m going to call the heating and cooling company today and schedule an appointment to get the furnace inspected and repair it. That way we’ll have everything working in time for the winter season, regardless of whether or not I’ll be home or at work. I want my family to be warm when it starts to get extremely cold out.

I don't know how old my HVAC filter is

My mind is on anything but my home responsibilities and chores right now. I just lost my cousin who I grew up with and considered to be a second brother. We hung out together constantly in the years since we were both little kids. He was always a close friend and somebody enjoyed spending time with. Since my cousin didn’t have any siblings himself, he was like another brother to me. His parents were often working when they needed to be home as well. So he would spend time at my house instead of being left alone in his house. When I heard that he had died in her accident, it devastated me. I was completely upset by the whole experience. It was bewildering to me when it happened and I still don’t know if I’m going to be over it anytime soon. So because of all of my grief, it’s hard for me to think of my responsibilities and chores. I had forgotten to replace my air conditioner filter for 3 months straight. In my region it gets so dusty that you need to replace your air conditioner filter every 4 to 6 weeks. These are central things you need to do to make sure that your air conditioner filter does not get too clogged. I don’t even know exactly how old this air conditioner filter is, that’s how bad the situation has become for me. I don’t even know what I’m going to do with all of my forgetfulness as a result of my grief. I don’t want to cause my air conditioner to break down because I’m in so much mental pain.

I bought an air purifier with an HEPA filter inside

I never had sinus or respiratory allergies when I was a kid.

I was extremely active in sports and don’t recall instances of me catching my breath and feeling winded.

Not only that, but I could play in the dirt and all of the pollen without my nose swelling to the point at which I couldn’t breathe through it. I had no sense of discrimination when it came to where I played as a kid. But when I mow my lawn at my current age, I have to wear a face mask or the dust, and pollen will clog my nose and make it almost impossible for me to breathe. These airborne allergens wreak havoc on my immune system and my whole entire body is a result. I get really frustrated dealing with all these airborne allergens every year. I wish there was a way to make my lungs respond better to these factors beyond using a mask everywhere I go. At home though I bought an air purifier with a HEPA filter inside. I have a filter that filters out 99.9% of all airborne allergens. Now I can get all the dust and other air borne allergens out once and for all. Really helps having all of these options available. I’m really happy with the air purifier I have in my house because it does such a good job at keeping my indoor air clean and Free of dust. I don’t know what I would do without my hair purifier. I even got my air purifier on sale at the hardware store last year for 50% off.

Working out more thanks to ductless heat pump

When we first moved into this house, I had so several big plans, but while I was able to get superb Heating and Air Conditioning unit put in as well as the big deck we typically wanted, our motivation suddenly waned.

But my spouse plus I both spend lots of hours inside the commercial Heating and Air Conditioning of our work space, and then, the youngsters came along plus all those updates to our home took a back seat, but down in the basement, there is sort of a frozen moment in time.

When we first moved in here, I scoured yard sales plus the internet to find used exercise equipment, however and I put together a bit of a home gym in the basement; It got used maybe a half dozen times before it got lost down there in all our other junk. Well, early this Springtime, I vowed to change all that. In fact, I called the Heating and Air Conditioning supplier to set up the Heating and Air Conditioning maintenance appointment early. And that’s not all that I had them do. The Heating and Air Conditioning professionals easily installed a ductless heat pump down stairs in the basement when they were doing the air conditioning tune up. This motivated me to spend an entire weekend cleaning up plus cleaning out the basement. After the ductless heat pump was put in, I had the quality heating plus air that got me to revisit the workout equipment. It’s been a few months now plus I’m so satisfied to easily come home, change my clothes plus get in a workout. This has certainly helped me get in better shape… Plus, I’m enjoying so much more energy thanks to that ductless heat pump plus my daily workouts.
