I’m certainly not the sort of person who reads through all the manuals and warranties before I start playing with a new toy. And yes, I’m a grown man. But I sort of wish that I wasn’t the way I am. For sure, had I read my HVAC warranty, I would have handled the HVAC cooling problem much differently. But of course, that wasn’t the case and it cost me big time. Coming home after working to step into my wonderfully HVAC maintained house is one of the highlights of every day. So when I walked through the door to a hot and humid house, I was not at all pleased. I checked the breaker and the thermostat both of which seemed to be fine. The HVAC unit itself was actually still running. It’s just that it wasn’t blowing any sort of HVAC cooling. Initially, I thought this was the time to call the HVAC professionals. But I was sort of irritated with myself because I had forgotten to get the air conditioning tune up in the spring. I was sure that this was the result and somehow, my brain said it was up to me to fix the situation. I should know better than to listen to my brain. For sure that was a jump in logic but that didn’t stop me. After checking online, I convinced myself that the problem was that the air conditioning needed to be recharged. Of course that wasn’t the problem and my attempt at HVAC repair only made things worse. Not only did the HVAC technician come out to repair the heat pump. But he also informed me that I had voided the HVAC warranty by doing what I had done.
Loving my workouts thanks to ductless HVAC
It’s sort of hard for me to accept just how much the old gym was keeping me from my best workout. That seems completely counter intuitive. And it seems like the opposite reason for joining a gym. My idea was to stop being so sedentary and try to improve my health that’s why I joined the gym. Instead of going from sitting in the commercial HVAC of the office to sitting in the air conditioning in my home, I thought I would get to the gym. This seemed like a better idea and it was overdue as my doctor had been calling for a change when it came to my lifestyle. But I can be really hard headed when it comes to changing up routine. Plus, I’ve never really been the workout sort of guy. When that was all the rage back in college, I was inside the air conditioning studying or playing video games. So for sure, going to the gym for a workout was new to me. But the thing with the gym was that I never felt comfortable there. The staff was great and they did much to show me how to use the equipment. But I really didn’t like working out with all the other people. Plus the commercial HVAC in that gym really was overwhelmed. The air conditioning was never to the point where it felt cooling at all. But now, I have a home gym with a ductless heat pump that has made all the difference. I actually want to go work out now and enjoy the air conditioning that comes from the ductless heat pump. I can’t believe how much more I’m getting out of my workouts these days thanks to this HVAC technology.
All eyes on the HVAC equipment
It was a spring and summer that saw plenty of stress for us when it came to our residential HVAC.
- My wife and I have been lucky to live in our home for just past a quarter of a century.
When we bought this home, it sort of came with new HVAC equipment. However, it really wasn’t the sort of HVAC equipment that we might have picked out. But that’s what the previous owner went with and that was the part of the final negotiations on the house. For sure, the HVAC equipment that we had all of those years wasn’t second rate. It just wasn’t as efficient as perhaps we might have liked. But we made sure that the HVAC got consistent, seasonal HVAC maintenance every single year. We even joined the HVAC service plan as soon as it was offered by our local HVAC company. That made it even easier to deal with the HVAC maintenance as they set up appointments and all I had to do do was confirm online. But it was during the spring air conditioning tune up when I learned we were going to have to replace the HVAC. I guess we should have planned a bit better because we really didn’t have the money saved up for the new residential HVAC. The HVAC technician told us to look for big spikes in utility costs from the HVAC cooling. This would be a sign that the HVAC unit was on his way out. So we spent all spring and summer with our eyes glued to the HVAC unit into the utility costs. Thankfully, we made it to the fall and have been able to save up enough money to get new residential HVAC.
A last minute reprieve from HVAC heating costs
Although I don’t think I’m going to need a ton of HVAC heating this winter
Man, talk about perfect timing. I just relocated in the nick of time and will miss out on a winter’s worth of HVAC heating costs. And on top of that, I’m hearing that the heating costs are going to be even more expensive for where I just left. This is never good news and particularly after all the tough financial woes that we all went through during the pandemic. My fall preparations for winter we’re already under way when I got a call to see the boss inside the commercial HVAC of the office. I didn’t think I was in trouble or that my job was gone but I was still a bit nervous. I knew I had just gotten a stellar review a few months ago so I couldn’t imagine why I was meeting with the big boss. That’s when I learned of the promotion and relocation to the southern office. I was able to be a part of a team that would be opening a new office in our southern market. I put the winter preparation down in order to upgrade the HVAC equipment to get my house on the market as quick as possible. Now I’m about to enjoy what is going to be the easiest winter of my life. I cannot believe the weather down here as it’s so warm and sunny. I’m so glad to a trade it a gas furnace for a different kind of residential HVAC. The heat pump is going to be a welcome source for both heating and cooling. Although I don’t think I’m going to need a ton of HVAC heating this winter. So I’m already thinking about how to hold down the cost of air conditioning in the summer.
Ductless heat pump helps us insure our mortgage
They nailed it by installing a ductless heat pump
There is a time in most people’s lives where they entirely feel up against it, that seems to be an unlucky reality of just residing this life! Sure, there are some who have the yellow lights one after another plus never have to worry about finances or jobs, but that’s fairly rare, however most of us are just trying to keep the central a/c on plus the mortgage paid. But while in the worst of the pandemic, my partner plus I were looking at the truly real opportunity that we’d have to sell our home; I ended up working remotely inside the a/c of dwelling instead of the commercial HVAC of the office, however, my partner lost her job altogether as the company she worked for went under. She did her best to find some online gigs while she tried to find other employment. But my buddy and I were soon tapping our savings just to pay bills. But that tough time led to an idea that’s going to help us always make the mortgage payments. It dawned on us that our basement would make the best one study room apartment! And since my buddy and I live in a school town, my buddy and I knew my buddy and I could keep it rented. The basement was finished for the most part. My nice friend and I needed some heating plus cooling down there so my buddy and I turned to the HVAC professionals. They nailed it by installing a ductless heat pump. The quality heating plus air coming from this small, ductless heat pump is nothing short of amazing. My nice friend and I are now going into our sixth year having a renter my buddy and I love plus she likes the ductless heat pump as well.
