The older I get, the more I see things coming sort of full circle when it comes to life. There seems like just one big circle cycling through my life. So many old things are suddenly new again. This is particularly true when it comes to our HVAC heating method. Recently, we just built a […]

I’m so fortunate to be able to own a pretty big chunk of property. Having grown up in apartments in the city with radiant heating and zero air conditioning, this was always my dream.

I haven’t actually asked her but I imagine that my wife would still shake her head about how stubborn I was about an HVAC upgrade. I was just plain dumb when it came to what a difference air purification would make in our lives. Actually, I’m sort of surprised she doesn’t hammer me daily on […]

When you grow up down here, HVAC cooling is just part of the picture. I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t able to count on air conditioning during our brutal heat and humidity of summer. Of course, we had heat pump to provide it all the central air conditioning in our home. My dad […]

Insulation plays an important role in keeping your home comfortable and your energy bills low. Older homes may lack insulation due to deterioration or inadequate building standards. Save money by batch baking during […]

Your HVAC system shouldn’t be causing any of the noises you hear in your home. You shouldn’t hear HVAC systems or air ducts. So, if you suddenly hear a noise that wasn’t there before, it’s not something to ignore. Your air vents may be whistling due to blocked airflow. Check that your vents are open […]

The last several years, I’ve made a conscious effort to rid my life of anything that isn’t serving the betterment of my life. That goes for my possessions as well as some of the relationships I’m in. It sounds sort of rough but living with stuff that pulls me down is not worth it anymore. […]

I think we all realize that there are some risks that have to be taken if you are engaged in this life. There are plenty of decisions in our lives that come with a certain amount of risk. I think that’s just an accepted part of life. However, a calculated risk is one thing. Taking […]
