Steam is coming from my outdoor duct

I genuinely appreciate doing landscaping outside; Landscaping is a good release for me especially on the weekends.

I have a desk task 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 dwelling is an exciting thing for me, plus I just recently bought a zero turn grass mower and it has made laboring outside even better! When I was breaking my shrubbery near the outdoor unit I was surprised to see steam coming from my outdoor unit! My air conditioner was on because I set the thermostat to 81° 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 site. So to clear up any confusion and get the problem resolved as soon as possible I called my local heating and cooling serviceman to take a look at the issue. It was a nice 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 maintenance myself so I was lucky that my heating and cooling serviceman was able to come out that day to problem solve and maintenance the bad fan motor.

Adding air to a basement

I’ve always been told that older homes need more work.

I’ve always known this but I’ve shrugged off the idea that it’s true.

When I was buying my home my parents thought it was a terrible idea. All of the houses that we moved into when we were younger were always brand new. My parents didn’t want to do much renovating or replacing equipment or appliances. Once I was in the buying process they would tell me, you’re going to regret it! Now that I have been in my home for six months now I have done a lot of renovating. To be honest it has been exhausting but I love the way my home looks now. Since most of my home is completed, I want to start redoing my basement. My basement is pretty big and I think it has a lot of potential. Since the home is older, there is no heating or cooling down there. There are a few vents but I don’t think any air comes out of them. I have been told that the best type of heating and cooling system that I should use is a mini split heat pump in my basement. This is because I should keep the basement and home air separate from each other. I do want to get a second opinion though so I will be contacting my local HVAC provider to see what option is best. I’m hoping that whatever option I choose it won’t be a hassle or cost me a lot of money.

Leaking condensate pipe

Our basement just recently got finished.The basement used to be just concrete walls and concrete floors with all of our junk that was stored down there.

No one ever liked going to the basement because it was so cold.

Our HVAC system is located there along with our fuel tank. With our finished basement we have carpet and wood floors, a bar that my dad made from scratch, an entertainment center made out of oak and a large smart TV. This will be my new hangout place in my house. When I have friends and family over the basement will be the place to be. Our furnace is sectioned away from the living room and bar in it’s own room. When we were all down there one night, my dad decided to check the furnace. He saw that the condensate PVC pipe was leaking. He told us that it was most likely leaking because the two pipes were not glued together. My dad realized that the reason why it was unglued is so that it is easier for a person to reach the condensate pump. Looking up the problem online, my dad found that if the two pipes aren’t glued together, then there’s a possibility that they will leak. However he found that if he used two sheet metal screws, then it would eliminate leakage and he could still get to the condensate pump. Before he decided to make any moves, he wanted to call our HVAC technician to make sure that the leakage wasn’t anything major.

Advantages of Ductless Heating and ac

I just recently moved to the big town & what I have seen in a lot of the apartments that i’m looking to rent is one they’re all certainly small & two, a lot of them have ductless heating & cooling systems, at first I was a little skeptical on this as every place that I have lived in has consistently had ductwork.

As I researched more about ductless heating & cooling systems I found that there are a lot of advantages to a ductless system, and one of them being is that the air is delivered directly into the zone of your home or home 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 deliver an owner a cost-effective way to replace window A/C units & space heaters. I guess this makes sense for an home that’s in the big town because I consistently see buildings that have window A/C units, then window A/C units sometimes are not as effective, can cost a lot of currency on electricity bills & it’s sort of an eye sore for when you’re outside of the building & you see all sorts of bulky window A/C units. One of the other big advantages about ductless heating & cooling systems is that they save you a lot of currency. With utility costs skyrocketing all across the United States, it’s entirely important that your home’s temperature is based on an efficient Heating, Ventilation, & A/C system where your bi-weekly electricity bills are not skyrocketing.

Going to a soccer game outside plus being cold

I am a important fan of football! I follow my team religiously plus try to go to as numerous apartment games as possible.

  • I have season passes plus thankfully the seats that my fantastic friend and I have are in a box plus is temperature controlled.

It’s good having a box because you do not have to worry about the weather elements outside, the only time that I entirely have to worry about the weather conditions is when I drive there. I have about a 3-hour drive plus if it’s entirely snowy plus icy I do not go plus will supply my passes to close family members plus friends. There was one morning where it was entirely nice outside plus my bestie plus I went to a Monday night game, during the morning the temperature was mild but at night it started to get a little frigid! So I went to the control machine that’s installed on the wall in our box plus adjusted it to a few degrees higher. 30 minutes or so went by plus the temperature stayed the same. I decided to call one of the staff members that served us in our box plus told them that the temperature wasn’t changing plus I wasn’t sure if I was using the control machine properly. I walked over to the control machine with her plus she touched the same exact controls as I did. The control machine was entirely similar to the one that’s installed in my home. She said that she is going to come back in 10 minutes to see if the temperature change. She came back plus the temperature was the same. She apologize for the inconvenience plus said that she was going to call the service worker. The service worker came shortly after plus ended up changing the control machine because it was faulty.

I Received Financing For My New HVAC System

When I couldn’t afford a new HVAC system due to lack of planning on my part, I didn’t know what to do. It was the middle of winter time and there was a large cold front sweeping through the area. I called the local HVAC company and asked them about what I could do to stay moderate without a furnace. They told me that I didn’t need to panic just yet. They had an application for financing on their website that I could fill out and they’d let me know if I was approved within 24 hours. I went to their website instantly and found the financing application. They had an entire post about how they were able to offer financing to their purchasers, because obviously I wasn’t the only one who couldn’t afford a brand new HVAC system in money. They even offered 0% APR financing, which was something I was really interested in. The application asked for my personal information and it took me less than 10 minutes to fill out. After submitting my information, I acquired a call a few hours later from a representative and they said that I was approved for financing for my new HVAC system. They gave me a credit limit and I was able to begin shopping for a new HVAC system instantly. I’m really blissful I found out about the financing before the cold front hit this area. I had my new furnace up and running before the temperature dropped.

My Renter Can’t Be Pleased

One of my least favorite things about owning a rental property is dealing with difficult renters; I’ve rented with some really good people, but I’ve also rented to disappointing people.

Currently, I have a renter who’s somewhere in between! He hasn’t trashed the house, he keeps the lawn cut, and the neighbors never complain. However, sometimes he’s late with his rent payment and he’s always complaining about something. One week his dishwasher doesn’t work, the next the floors are creaking. His most recent complaint has been his utility bill. I’m having the floors redone in the condo because they’re really old and in disappointing shape. He’s complained about the floors multiple times, so it should not be a large deal. However, it’s causing a lot of dust and dirt, which is clogging the air filter. I dropped off a pack of fresh air filters for him to rotate in and out while the construction is happening, but he doesn’t think that he should be the one to replace the dirty air filter. He’s also complaining about how high his utility bill is due to the blocked air filter. I’ve told him multiple times that if he’s not willing to replace the air filters while the dust and debri is floating around in the air, then I can’t help him with his utility bill. I’ve come to accept that this renter can’t be content and it’s best to leave him alone. I’m replacing the floors that he complained about and all he can believe about is a temporarily high utility bill even though I’ve given him the tools to reduce it.

I Was Embarrassed About My Lack of Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C Care

I panicked when my Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C system stopped working.

I contacted the local Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C supplier right away as well as recommended an emergency appointment.

They had an Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C professional at my door within an hour. I told him how my Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C system had hastily stopped working, as well as he had a list of questions for me. He asked me when the last time I’d had the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C system diagnosed as well as I couldn’t assume of the date. I’d never had it diagnosed by a professional before, as well as I didn’t know when the previous owners of the home had. Then, the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C professional asked me how old the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C system was, again, I couldn’t supply him an answer because I didn’t know. Next, he asked me when the air filter was last changed. This I did know! I told him it was 6 months ago, right before the cooler weather arrived as well as I switched from my air conditioning system to my heater. He looked at me in silence for a few moments as well as I felt like a complete failure. I knew he was judging me for my lack of Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C servicing, however I never thought I’d be in this predicament. I showed him where everything was located as well as he got to work. He worked on my Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C system for one hour before finding me as well as telling me the bad news; My Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C system was completely dead as well as it would cost more to repair it than to buy a new Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C system. He provided me a recommendation on where to get a new one as well as told me that if I didn’t want this to happen again, I’d need to take care of the unit this time. I felt so embarrassed.

A Large House with only 2 tenants

My whole life, I have always been conflicted on having a big cabin or a small house, big homes are beautiful and spacious, where as small homes can be beautiful and cozy, and when I visit big homes, I am always mesmerized by the size and how several things they can fit inside.

I prefer decorating and interior design, but the smaller the house, the more freedom there is for design.

I live in a small 2 home office house, and I feel the size the perfect, and my associate and I spend my money a particularly low utilities bills each month because the air conditioner doesn’t have to labor that difficult to cool the home. My friends bought a big cabin and they are regularly complaining about how they have to hire help to clean and that the air conditioner is having to labor overtime to cool all of the rooms in the house. Even though they only have 2 people in a 4,000 square foot home, they are paying the same in utilities that my parents spend my money for a cabin half the size and they have 5 people in the house. Many people know that cooling an empty room is a waste of cash, not only do they have an excessive amount of space, but they travel a lot. They are always gone, so they spend my money for an a/c to run in an empty house. At the end of the afternoon, a small cabin if more efficient than a big house.

My parents moving to the south plus realizing they have a strange HVAC system

Just last month I had to help my parents transfer down south.

They are keeping their loft up north for the summertime however they just bought a small loft to stay in during the winter, then since they are much older now the winters take a toll on them.

Packing their vehicle wasn’t bad at all with many people helping to stuff boxes in the back of the moving truck. I decided to ride out there plus help them unpack. After hours of unpacking I realized that we never put on their air conditioner system. My buddy and I were dripping with sweat going back plus forth from the muggy household plus the sizzling temperatures of outside plus it didn’t even cross our minds. I went to their thermostat plus saw that everything was off. I thought at least the people that lived in the household before would keep the air conditioner on set to a higher temperature so it would kick on plus not keep the household as hot. Plus when I went outside plus downstairs to the basement I didn’t realize how strange their HVAC system was than from the one that they had installed at home. There was a new temperature control technology that was installed. This type of HVAC system is designed to save energy in hot plus dry temperatures. It’s basically a powered whole-household fan, air conditioner that is all integrated under one control system. It is actually more high-tech than the HVAC system that is at my parents household up north. I’m hoping that they may need a bit more assistance with their new HVAC system by calling a local HVAC professional.
