I think i’ll go with these air filters

You know after trying so many different air filters for my central heating and air conditioning system unit in the last 7 months, I finally decided on one certain brand of air filter that I am going to go with.

  • And would you believe they are the generic kind? These generic brand air filters I get for my central heating and air conditioning system unit at my local hardware store are nearly as good as the extremely expensive HEPA brand air filters! I am not kidding you on this! The only difference between these generic brand air filters for the central heating and air conditioning system and the HEPA brand air filters for the central heating and air conditioning system are the fact that these cheaper and very generic air filters have to be changed every month.

Their lifespan is not too long. But they are so good with the air quality that they give it is well worth the hassle and not to mention that they are very affordable. Especially if you are on a budget like I am. So I will continue using these generic brand air filters that only the hardware store I go to carry and enjoy great air quality and great heating as well as air conditioning from my central heat and cooling system unit! Other air filters just are not as good unless you are talking HEPA brand air filters. And sadly at this point in time with my low income level, I can not afford to buy the top of the line and most high quality HEPA brand air filters for my central heating and air conditioning system unit.

Trying the washable air filters

I recently heard about washable air filters from a friend of mine. I had been hearing about washable air filters for your central heating and air conditioning system for a while now. I just never tried them because I did not believe the concept that you can actually wash an air filter for your central heating and air conditioning system several times and have it actually work still. I figured these washable air filters for the central heating and air conditioning system unit would just flake apart when you tried to wash them. But my friend told me otherwise and how truly amazing they were! So i just had to try them myself because my friend never lies or blows things out of proportion. And let me tell you that he was right! These washable air filters for your central heating and air conditioning system unit were indeed the real deal and worked like a charm! I was able to use one single air filter for almost a half of year! Nearly 6 months by washing it when it was all filled up. This saved me a lot of money this past year on having to buy air filters for my central heating and air conditioning system every few months. Sure you pay a lot more for washable air filters, but even so, you are still saving money when not having to buy the cheaper air filters that are regular every few months. I highly suggest everyone in the world to try the washable air filters for your central heating and air conditioning system unit. It will be something you’ll love!

I really like those air filters

I just tried HEPA brand air filters for the very first time.

And I have to say that I really like them a lot! These HEPA brand air filters for my central heating and air conditioning system act like no other air filters ever have.

It makes my indoor air quality a lot better without the use of a whole home air purification system or any kind of air purifier. Then on top of that, the HEPA brand air filters although they cost a lot more than your standard air filters for your central heating and air conditioning system unit, the HEPA brand air filters for your central heating and cooling system actually end up saving you money. Why is this you may ask? Well let me tell you why this is if you are actually asking yourself this question in response to my statement. You actually save some money by buying HEPA air filters for your central heating and air conditioning system unit because you do not have to buy air filters as often. Because HEPA brand air filters do not have to be changed once a month like most air filters for your central heating and air conditioning system unit so. HEPA brand air filters for your central heating and air conditioning system unit can actually go about 2 to sometimes 3 months before you need to change them. Hence, saving you money throughout the year on the air filters that you buy for your central heating and air conditioning system unit!

Buying better air filters for my HVAC unit

Because I sometimes will end up forgetting and it causes some potential issues with the ductwork getting clogged in my central heating and air conditioning system unit

I have finally decided that I am going to buy myself proper and very high quality air filters for my central heating and air conditioning system unit moving forward. I am tired of air filters that only do half the job that they are supposed to. I want air filters for my central heating and air conditioning system unit that are going to do the very best and most of all, I want air filters that I do not have to change every single month of the year! It is nice to be able to not have to worry about changing the air filter of my central heating and air conditioning system every single month. Because I sometimes will end up forgetting and it causes some potential issues with the ductwork getting clogged in my central heating and air conditioning system unit. This means that I have to call for HVAC home services and have my ductwork deep cleaned and that cost more than a standard ductwork cleaning. But this can all be avoided as long as I have high quality air filters for my central heating and air conditioning system unit and end up changing them on time. And like I was saying, if I do not have to change the air filters of my central heating and air conditioning system unit every single month of the year it will make it a lot easier to remember to change them when the time is right! So it is high quality air filters for me here on out!

The SEER rating was bad

I remember the time that I bought a new central heating and air conditioning system some years ago and highly regretted it.

Because the SEER rating of the central heating and air conditioning system was absolutely bad! This caused me to have very high energy bills all together for the duration of when I had this central heating and air conditioning system.

Having a bad SEER rating means that the central heating and air conditioning system unit is not energy efficient. And this is how the energy bills skyrocket and get very high. It was a total nightmare! When I was able to, I finally broke down and just ate the loss and got rid of that central heating and air conditioning unit and opted in to invest in a brand new, up to date, pretty pricey and very powerful central heating and air conditioning system unit that had a real great SEER rating. Ever since then my energy bills have lowered and become majorly affordable. Even in the extreme weather times of the year. This made it so that I can run my heating as well as my air conditioning as much as needed and not have to worry about the electric bill being super high any longer! This was all because I finally got a central heating and air conditioning system unit that had a really great SEER rating. And any central heating and air conditioning system that buy from here on out will always have a great SEER rating no matter what the cost!

Noisy window machine cooling component

My condo was built in the 1940s, and the lead paint on the windowsills still exists! We have no idea how to get rid of it.

The charm of the little condo is enough to take your breath away. There is one thing that is absolutely seasoned and makes some people uncomfortable. The window machine cooling systems. These things are bulletproof! I have had them for many years and never once had a problem with one. There is one downfall of the window machine AC- it is absolutely noisy, once, I rearranged the furniture in the residing room just for fun, and i did not guess that moving the sofa near the cooling system would cause so much drama in my house, however my youngsters were complaining that they could not hear the TV from the sofa anymore. They would turn the volume on the TV up so high that I could not hear myself thinking. I knew that I had made a big mistake, but rearranging the condo took all day, and I knew I would have to spend my next day off comin up with another layout.There was a solution to the loud cooling system, afterall. We just needed to adjust the fan level on the settings and the AC was as quiet as a mouse!

Great deal on a current heating and A/C system

I never entirely learn the junk that comes in my mailbox, and unless it is a bill or a package, I will consistently just toss the mail into the recycle bin, but for a while, I was using the junk mail as scratch paper but you can only have so much scratch paper in your house.

One afternoon, as I was sorting through the mail, I came across an ad for a current local Heating and A/C dealer.

The Heating and A/C dealer was offering no interest financing on a brand current Heating and A/C system. I did not think this was real. I have been wanting to replace our heating and cooling system for several years but never had the time or money to do so. First, I thought that this might be a scam. I visited the Heating and A/C companies website and realized that this was real life. I called them quickly to set a date before they changed their mind on this incredible deal, with a lot of other people in front of me, I would have to wait a month for my upgrade date. The Heating and A/C dealer was so nice and through with me that I decided to tell my friends about the Heating and A/C companies deal, then several of my friends purchased a current Heating and A/C system that week… After telling everyone I knew, I found out that the Heating and A/C had a referral program and I just saved myself a ton of money on my Heating and A/C replacement. I was even more blissful to find out this news!

Steam is coming from my outdoor unit

I absolutely love doing landscaping outside.

Landscaping is a great release for me especially on the weekends.

I have a desk job and I don’t get out of the office that much during the week. So being able to work outside in the flower beds and design what plants and flowers I want to put around my house is an exciting thing for me. Plus I just recently purchased a zero turn lawn mower and it has made working outside even better! When I was cutting my grass near the outdoor unit I was surprised to see steam coming from my outdoor unit. My air conditioning system was on because I set the thermostat to 74° because of how hot it was outside. I wasn’t sure why steam was coming from my outdoor unit I was thinking that maybe it was due to my heat pump going into defrost mode. However the unit should not be going into defrost mode. It didn’t make any sense to me why it would even go in that mode in the first place. So to clear up any confusion and get the problem resolved as soon as possible I called my local heating and cooling technician to take a look at the issue. It was a good thing that I did that because it turns out that the outdoor unit had a bad outdoor fan motor. This was something that I would not have been able to fix myself so I was lucky that my heating and cooling technician was able to come out that day to problem solve and fix the bad fan motor.

My Air Conditioning is not cooling the house down due to outdoor unit not running

Of course it’s the hottest week of the summer and I have had no luck with my air conditioning system.

When I woke up this morning my air conditioning was switch to on and it should have been running.

I looked at the set temperature and the thermostat was set to 72 degrees but my thermostat read that it was 83 degrees in the house. That was way too hot for me. I didn’t understand why my air conditioning system was not cooling my house down! I ran through some simple items to go through to make sure that I wasn’t missing anything out of the ordinary. Yes my thermostat was set to cool and I turned the thermostat down to the below room temperature. The power on the indoor unit was set to on and my breaker was working normal. The power was also set to on for my outdoor unit as well. When I went outside I couldn’t hear my outdoor unit running. I even went to the red reset button on my outdoor unit and still nothing was working. I decided to schedule a service call because even when I reset the outdoor unit the outdoor unit still was not turning on. Some causes that made the outdoor unit not turn on and my house not be cool was because of a bad reversing valve. It turns out that that was the issue when my heating, ventilation and air conditioning service man came to my home to repair the air conditioning system. After replacing the bad reversing valve the air conditioning system came to life again cooling my house down.

Advantages of Ductless Heating and cooling systems

I guess this makes sense for an apartment that’s in the big city because I always see buildings that have window air conditioning units

I just recently moved to the big city and what I’ve seen in a lot of the apartments that i’m looking to rent is one they’re all very small and two, a lot of them have ductless heating and cooling systems. At first I was a little skeptical on this as every place that I’ve lived in has always had ductwork. As I researched more about ductless heating and cooling systems I found that there are a lot of advantages to a ductless system. One of them being is that the air is delivered directly into the zone of your home or apartment that you are trying to heat or cool. Most of the time ductless systems are based on a mini split system, multi split systems, or split ductless systems. These types of systems give an owner a cost-effective way to replace window air conditioning units and space heaters. I guess this makes sense for an apartment that’s in the big city because I always see buildings that have window air conditioning units. Window air conditioning units sometimes aren’t as effective, can cost a lot of money on electricity bills and it’s sort of an eye sore for when you’re outside of the building and you see all sorts of bulky window air conditioning units. One of the other big advantages about ductless heating and cooling systems is that they save you a lot of money. With utility costs skyrocketing all across the United States, it’s really important that your home’s temperature is based on an efficient HVAC system where your monthly electricity bills are not skyrocketing.

Going to a football game outside and being cold

I am a huge fan of football.

I follow my team religiously and try to go to as many home games as possible. I have season passes and thankfully the seats that we have are in a box and is temperature controlled. It’s great having a box because you don’t have to worry about the weather elements outside. The only time that I really have to worry about the weather conditions is when I drive there. I have about a 3-hour drive and if it’s really snowy and icy I don’t go and will give my passes to close family members and friends. There was one day where it was really nice outside and my boyfriend and I went to a Sunday night game. During the day the temperature was mild but at night it started to get a little chilly. So I went to the thermostat that’s installed on the wall in our box and adjusted it to a few degrees higher. 30 minutes or so went by and the temperature stayed the same. I decided to call one of the staff members that served us in our box and told them that the temperature wasn’t changing and I wasn’t sure if I was using the thermostat correctly. I walked over to the thermostat with her and she touched the same exact controls as I did. The thermostat was very similar to the one that’s installed in my home. She said that she’s going to come back in 10 minutes to see if the temperature change. She came back and the temperature was the same. She apologize for the inconvenience and said that she was going to call the maintenance technician. The maintenance technician came shortly after and ended up changing the thermostat because it was faulty.

I Signed Up For an HVAC Maintenance Plan

They anticipated a lot of interest in the maintenance plans, but they weren’t anticipating this much of a crowd! She took my information and got me on the schedule for my first HVAC service appointment

I acquired a flyer in the mail from the HVAC company I used about a new promotion they were offering. They were start an HVAC maintenance plan for anyone who was interested. I’d heard about HVAC maintenance plans from other HVAC companies before, but since the company I used never offered it until now, I never looked into it. The flyer went into detail about the cost and benefits. The cost was a little shocking, but I had to remember that it was for an entire year. The cost included two general service appointments, which included diagnostics, coil cleaning, belt and air filter replacements, and freon checks. Along with the biannual HVAC servicing, you’d get 10% off any parts needed for repairs and a free carbon monoxide detector; For the price, I thought this was a great deal. I called the HVAC company and acquired the tied up signal. I called 50 times before I got through to someone! When I complained about the amount of times I had to call, the receptionist explained that their phones were ringing off the hook… Everyone acquired the flyer about the HVAC maintenance plan and they were eager to sign up. They anticipated a lot of interest in the maintenance plans, but they weren’t anticipating this much of a crowd! She took my information and got me on the schedule for my first HVAC service appointment. I’m blissful I finally got through to someone and was able to get on the schedule. I hope this HVAC maintenance plan is worth it.
