The air conditioner was really clogged

Recently I have noticed that my air conditioning system wasn’t performing as well as it used to. I found this to be strange because I have always been sure to take good care of my heating and air conditioning system. I decided to go out towards the back and see what could be causing it to not work. What I discovered was several fallen limbs had managed to get inside of the heating and air conditioning system and cause it to become clogged. This will explain why when I went to the wall and went over to my smart thermostat and attempted to turn on my air conditioning system it wouldn’t even come on. The problem was I didn’t have the tools to correctly remove the clock myself, and I was afraid to do so for fear that it could be dangerous. So I decided to schedule an appointment with my heating and air conditioning company and they sent out an HVAC worker to come and take care of the issue. He took over the clock and assured me that he would be able to easily remove it. The HVAC technician was right, true to his word he was able to quickly remove the clock and get my heating and cooling system working again. I was relieved to have my heat and AC unit back, and the environment I live in and I’m entirely dependent on my heat and AC for my indoor comfort. So I don’t want to have any issues with it not working.

The air vents are in the wrong place

I recently moved into a new home and I must say that I have never seen anything like it.

Everything in this house is really weird.

Whoever designed it clearly didn’t know what they were doing, it is a shame because it is a beautiful three story home. So what is so weird about it? Well for starters the heating and air conditioning system is installed in the living room. The air from the heating and cooling system comes through the air vents which are placed in equally strange places in the house. There is an air vent at level with the countertop in the bathroom. It is right next to the sink! There are another three in the garage, yes three and they are all on the same wall spaced only 8 inches apart from each other. In the bedroom there isn’t one at all and so my husband and I had to buy a window air conditioning, and there is even one in the floor, an air vent in the floor wouldn’t be too weird since older homes used to have air vents in the floor. If it weren’t for the fact that this air vent in the floor is right in the middle of the kitchen. There are all kinds of strange things in this house and because of it I have had to call the local heat and a/c corporation and schedule an appointment with them to move the HVAC system out of our living room. Hopefully in time, I can get this home to be normal.

Using a space heater for my heating needs

If you’re looking for a cheaper way to hit your home if you consider getting a space heater? If not, you should consider getting a space heater.

Why you might ask? Well let me explain why.

A space heater is a portable heating system that you can use in your home. It is smaller and less expensive than something like say, a gas furnace. So if you’re looking for a way to save some money, then going with a space heater is a great way to do so. There is a downside however, unlike with the central heating system a space heater is only able to heat one room at a time. So if you have multiple people living at home, it may not be the best solution. Luckily for me, I live alone so I decided to purchase a space heater. I don’t use my heating system a lot to begin with and I figured this might be just the thing I need to use even less. I am very cold tomorrow as it is and so I only turn on the space heater when I get pretty cold and even then I’m fine with staying in one room. So far this space heater has been working great for me. The best place to find space heaters that are available near you is at your local heating and cooling business, they will have many heat and a/c products available for purchase including the space heater.

Why the ductless mini split was perfect

When I was looking to get a new air conditioning system I couldn’t decide between getting a ductless mini split AC we’re getting a window air conditioning system.

I was looking for a small and portable AC unit that I could use for when I wanted to travel.

Well a window air conditioning system seems like the obvious choice, I have heard some not so positive things about them, everything from inefficiency to unreliability. This was not what I wanted and while a ductless mini split May ultimately cost more money, I think it’s well worth the price. As the saying goes you get what you pay for. So I decided that I was going to go and purchase the ductless mini split AC and I’m really happy that I did. I found that the ductless mini split worked perfectly for my needs. It was just the kind of air conditioning system that I was looking for. I decided that I was going to start using it for my home instead of my main Central AC unit and an attempt to save money. With the cost of everything going up, now seems like the best time to start looking for other solutions to save money where you can. And for me I decided to start with my heating and air conditioning system, I’m already planning on getting a space heater to use instead of my furnace. If it is any thing like the ductless mini split air conditioner, it will work just as good,

Making my air conditioner cool again

In my opinion, there is nothing more annoying than having a perfectly working air conditioning system that stops blowing cold air.

Now I’m going to make one thing very clear, I don’t know the first thing about Heating and cooling systems. The way I think about it is that there is a reason why we have heat and AC professionals, they are here to take care of the heating and AC machines that I otherwise would have no idea how to make work. It’s a good thing too, because I don’t know what I would do without them. It’s already annoying enough that my air conditioning system stopped blowing cold air but it’s even worse when there is no cold air on a hot summer’s day. I took a heavy sigh and accepted the fact that I was going to have an appointment with the heat and AC business to get this problem taken care of. Thankfully, despite it being in the middle of summer I was lucky enough to find a heating and cooling business that was not completely booked up. I had an appointment next week and when the heating and AC technician arrived to service my issue, I found out that the air conditioner only needed some Freon added to it. This was a relief because I was concerned that it would be a much bigger issue, but this was a very simple fix and the appointment with the HVAC technician went very quick. It didn’t take long before it was back to enjoying cold air again.

He was a heat and a/c worker

I had so many questions about how he got an AC system working and now he could teach me all about them

It has been a long time since I had been on a date, but after meeting a really nice guy at a local cafe I decided to give dating a try once again. We agreed to meet at the same cafe that we first met at and we had some breakfast bagels and coffee. We shared our interests and work-life and that is when he told me that he was a heating and air conditioning worker. Now, maybe to some people this isn’t a great job but I found it really interesting. I wanted to know more about how all of it worked and he told me that he would take several heating and air conditioning repairs jobs a day. He started to get into some technical stuff about the parts of heating and cooling units and how they worked. It interested me, even if I couldn’t entirely understand all that he was telling me. We spent much longer talking than we had planned and because we got along so well he even offered to fix my heating or air conditioning system for free. I knew that I was going to want to see him again. We decided to schedule another date for a week from now and I was already thinking about it when I got home. I know that he talks about heating and cooling systems a lot. I can help to be fascinated by it the more I thought about it the more I wanted to know. I had so many questions about how he got an AC system working and now he could teach me all about them. Plus, he was a really great guy and I wanted to know more about him as a person. I can’t wait for next week!

Sudden rise in heat and AC bills

If you are like me and keep a close eye on your heating and AC bills, then you know when something is up. I went and took a look at my unit air conditioning system to make sure that it was running officially and I couldn’t find anything that would be causing it to have a ride in my energy bills. I run my HVAC unit off of a smart thermostat that controls the temperature for me. I have a schedule to keep so I schedule the smart thermostat around my schedule. The thing is, my schedule hasn’t changed at all and so my energy bills shouldn’t have either. I still come home and have my heating and cooling come on and turn off at the same time as always. I thought maybe it was a fault on the behalf of the smart thermostat but I watched and saw the smart thermostat turn the HVAC unit on and off exactly like it was supposed to. This is when I knew it must be something with the HVAC unit. A repairman came out to service the issue and he found that the heat and air conditioning unit wasn’t running efficiently and that was causing strain resulting in the higher costs. If you have a straining heating and cooling system it can’t heat or cool the house like it should and so this can cause a rise in the price. It was repaired and once that was complete all went back to normal.

Sealing up all the gaps in my home

My home had always been very comfortable but recently had been having an issue with some drafts.

I would be sitting on the sofa reading a book and I would feel cold air sleeping in from somewhere but I could never figure out where.

One day after I felt another draft in my bedroom I decided that I had had enough. I was now feeling drafted multiple rooms and I started to realize that my old house was having some spots that were sealed and I was determined to find them and sealed him to get rid of these drafts once and for all. At first I was convinced that it was my air conditioning system and not drafts that was actually causing me to become cold. I have a very efficient AC system. Sometimes I think it runs almost too efficiently. It does a really good job of cooling the entire house and as such it can quickly get cold if the temperature isn’t monitored. I decided to test out the air conditioning system to ensure that it wasn’t that and I turned it off. The drafts were so present even with the AC still often therefore I know that I had some spots I needed to be sealed. I expect the rest of that evening to hunt them down one by one and sealing them. I haven’t had any issues since then. I do believe that I found them all and I shouldn’t have to worry about it anymore.

Time to do some remodeling

After living in the same home for most of my life I decided that I was looking for a change.

  • I wasn’t sure entirely what I wanted to change but I knew that I wanted to change the appearance of my house.

I decided to sit down and make a list of the things I’d like to change and what should be upgraded and what should be left as it is. I came to the conclusion that there were several things I needed to upgrade to fit my current lifestyle. I had changed a lot in the past 10 years and I still had a lot of stuff from my past that was just sitting around and collecting dust. Not only would I be getting rid of the stuff that I didn’t need or want anymore, but I decided that changing my appearance would help me enjoy my home a little bit more. The first thing that should be taken care of with some of the appliances. and the first on the top of that list was the heating and air conditioning system. While the heating system needs to be updated too, I decided to focus primarily on the air conditioning system because it was what I used the most. I live in a warm climate and I’m frequently running my AC. My air conditioning system used to run like a charm but now it started to slow down and it needs frequent repairs and I decided that instead of continuing to have it prepared for old times to be just to replace it. I already had a new heating and AC system in mind and so all I had to do was purchase the AC unit from the HVAC business and have them install it.

The new air filter made my home more comfortable

My house used to be a very comfortable place, it was the palace to be if you were looking for some peace and relaxation. However, this would not last. The house got older then started to break down and as a result the indoor air quality started to deteriorate. Like with many things, it started out slow and gradually became much worse. I got to a point where I was not even wanting to be inside my own house because of how poorly indoor air quality was. I didn’t know what to do until my granddaughter came over and complained about the indoor air quality. And she simply asked me why I didn’t get an ear purification system if I wasn’t happy with the indoor air quality? I’m doing it. I’m getting the air purification system, it is the solution. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t thought of it before! I decided to be the one on the internet and do some research about air purification and there a lot that came up. There were so many options, how in the world would I know what to go with!? I decided the best thing to do was to talk to someone that works in the heating and cooling industry. So what’s wrong with the heating and a shoe store and asked some of the local HVAC technicians there. I explained my situation and they told me that what would work for me would be standing air purifiers. Once I purchased the air purifiers I didn’t have any more problems with my indoor air quality.

HVAC installation didn't go as planned

Nothing is more frustrating than having things not go to plan.

  • When I purchased a new heating and cooling system from the local heating and AC supplier, I didn’t think any of it.

I suppose you can say I thought in the form of steps. Step one, I would buy the heating and AC unit from the heating and cooling business and do all the necessary work and pay for it. Step two, I have a professionally installed by the local heating and AC technicians. Step three, I go and enjoy my new cooling system. Unfortunately, not all was meant to be this way. Not only was installing it and even pushing it was more complicated than I thought it would be. But also someone somewhere messed up during the installation process. I had multiple Heating and cooling technicians I had came out to my house when the installation was being done and so I’m not sure who messed up but somebody messed up because they were not able to install the heating and a c system correctly and worse my HVAC unit was actually damaged! Because this is the fault of one of the heating and AC technicians I was given A new heating and cooling unit free of charge. I ultimately decided to go with another heating and AC company to have it professionally installed, I didn’t want to take the risk with this since somebody messed up. I believe that going with another company would be the best way.

Heated flooring is incredible

Just two weeks ago I had normal unheated floors.

Now I have floors that have radiant heated flooring installed in them.

I did not consider myself to be the type of person to impulse purchase things, especially not something that is more expensive such as heated floors. However, when I first saw the advertisement on the TV for reading it here I knew that it was the solution for me. It was a solution because I had been having problems, I live in a very cold climate and well I have a very good central heating system it just doesn’t always do the job. It just gets so cold here that even with the furnace running at full blast it still isn’t always enough. It will heat the house but I will still be cold. The thing is with any kind of heating system is that I only heats the air, but what if there was a way where you can heat the floor? This is exactly what the heated flooring promised. It was the way where you could walk on more floors instead of cold floors. I have had one too many nights of getting up to go to the bathroom on a cold winter’s night and having to step on ice cold floors. Now the problem would be a thing of the past. When this is something you experience frequently like I do, it can be quite annoying and so I was thrilled to have read it for you. I couldn’t make the appointment to have it installed fast enough. And I purchased it the same day that I saw the advertisement. If it is an impulse purchase, isn’t it sure it was one of the best that I’ve ever made.
