As the game got intense, my boss bet to give me a new air conditioning unit if he lost Since we had a great and profitable year as an HVAC business, the boss decided to take us to an out-of-town retreat and wind down. The retreat was for three days and two nights at a […]

The new contractor had said that an air conditioning tune-up would no longer be enough to keep the heat pump running, but I had stubbornly overlooked what he said. He must have been new to the HVAC business because, in my opinion, he had no idea that some equipment had more years to them than […]

Besides the new air conditioning systems we were scouting for, we also needed a temperature control device. The options were several, not just in terms of the brand but also in types. We found out that there are four types; programmable, non-programmable, wifi-enabled and intelligent. A visit to the HVAC business was very informative because […]

To achieve HVAC zoning in my home, I always thought that I had to have a specific type of equipment, such as a mini-split air conditioner, but I was wrong. During the last air conditioning tune-up, the cooling specialist had me say that I wished I had a zone control system. She asked why I […]

Bobby was frantically looking for a manual in the kitchen cabinets. The funny part was that he was expecting to find the manual for the mini-split air conditioner. He had never come across such in all the places he had ever lived, including his parents’ house, and it was a new air conditioning experience. It […]

The minute we walked into Pam’s apartment, I immediately felt that the indoor air quality was not good. Pam had just moved into the country, and the culture shock she experienced was more than she had anticipated. I had five years of experience in the place, but now and then, I would come across something […]

I remember the day that I had to tell my wife about the offer I really couldn’t refuse from my bosses. I sat in the driveway with the car running trying to figure out how to word what I was going to say. I sat there long enough that I had to turn the air […]

I do my best to take care of my house. When you drive around my neighborhood, it’s pretty clear who is taking care of their homes and who isn’t. I like to stay in the category that is taking care of a home. Sure, it takes getting up off the couch or out of the […]

I’m all for getting out in the world and doing your own thing. In fact, I did just that when it comes to how I make my living. When I left the quality heating and air of my parent’s house for college, I did so with a purpose. My passion was landscaping and I wanted […]

I don’t often get a pat on the back from my wife for doing stuff around the house. And that seems about right. Far too often, I’m hanging out watching TV in the air conditioning instead of helping out. That’s one reason. The other reason is that I just don’t happen to be all that […]

When we walked into this house, my wife and I just fell completely in love with the place. It was just everything we had ever wanted in a home. Since we were both city dwellers all of our life living with radiant heating we couldn’t quite control, just the idea of owning a home was […]

I remember the older my dad got, the less likely he was to arm wrestle me. That’s sort of a weird thing to remember I guess. But that was the first time that I can remember thinking that my dad was getting older. It happens to all of us and I simply wasn’t able to […]
