They said this little AC unit would be perfect for poolside.

I love being in my swimming pool, but it gets absolutely sizzling on the wooden deck.

  • The poolside is all wood and concrete & the sun heats it up to where my toes are cooking if I don’t wear some sandals.

I was playing a cool game online, & I had to watch an advertisement to get free play. Normally, I put the iphone down until the ads were done playing, but this one ad piqued my interest. They were talking about a portable air conditioner unit that could cool down the air around you, even poolside. I kept the ad on my iphone for a couple of days until I was 100% sure I wanted to learn more. I then started doing research & I also took care of all the online reviews on the air conditioner unit, however unfortunately, I found more rotten reviews than good. The cool water mist helped for a while, but had to continue filling up the water reservoir every ten or fifteen minutes. One guy said the cool mist just made it feel warmer because of the added humidity… She said the a/c worked okay if you were under the covers, but it didn’t bring the temperature down plus laying under an umbrella. I decided to buy some thick soled flip flops & then my nice friend and I bought a large patio umbrella which covered all my poolside furniture. I was protecting my furniture from the sun, & providing me with needed relief from the sun. I will continue to look around for a portable a/c for my deck, however I don’t suppose I’ll ever find anything for the intense heat, like my patio heating system works in the winter.

Max often forgets to turn on the a/c.

Ever since I can remember, Max has been a landscaper, regardless of the season, Max would be outside working.

  • Max spent the Summer tending to sods, & creating yard art out of hedges & large grass.

I loved going with Max to see the appealing statues he created with nothing but hedge trimmers & clippers. Max was a true artist. When Max and I got home, he would disappear into the garage. I thought Max was cleaning his components or sharpening them, but mom said he was escaping the air conditioner. Because Max worked outside all Summer long, the air conditioner was too cold for him. Max had heat in the truck when he was plowing snow in the winter, & he would freeze if Max and I didn’t have a boiler. The warmer the better with the boiler. I never thought about how it would affect me if I needed to labor outside full time. Now that I am older & have a home, I often call Max, then mom passed away, & I know he often forgets to turn on the a/c. Maxis no longer working full-time, however he still putzed around in his garden. When they put out a high heat alert, I call to make sure Max isn’t out in the sun, & hopefully he has the air conditioner on. Max tells me he has the fans running, however he still doesn’t suppose he needs the a/c. I hope Max has the ability to continue working outside for a long time. If Max ever needs to stay inside & use the air conditioner to be comfortable, I suppose he’ll just give up.

I can’t fathom a life without an air conditioner.

I know I have told most people my tale, but my Grandfather didn’t suppose that air conditioning was needed… They didn’t have air conditioner in the house, & neither did their parents.

This was a family of farmers & knew how to deal with heat & humid summers.

They would come back from the field, & scrub off in cold water… I would often see them with wet clothes on the backs of their necks or on their heads. I grew up in the city, & my mom & Mom had an air conditioner; When Mom moved away from the farm & went to school, he never looked back. Mom embraced this modern way of living, & my nice friend and I had an air conditioner in our home! One summer, my parents took me to the farm so I could get to know my Grandfather. I was there quite often through the years, & when my parents were on trip. We would spend the holidays with my Grandfather, but it was pretty cool. This year, I was going to spend time while in the summer. They expected me to labor on their farm with them, & there was no air conditioner in my room. I had a difficult time sleeping during the night, & I could not get used to it. When mom & Mom picked me up, I said I had a lot of fun, however I could not get used to not having an air conditioner. It was even harder when I got back home. I was shivering the 1st week, because the air conditioner was too cold for me.

Cutting the tree over my Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C system

I have this tree that sits right over my central heating plus a/c unit plus it has been a real bother, it keeps shedding plus risking getting inside the central heating plus a/c.

I decided to have the thing split down! Without the tree there my heating plus cooling unit will be a lot better off all together.

I had thought about calling the local heating plus air conditioner dealer to come out plus transfer the central heat plus air conditioner unit, although I figured that would potentially cost way too much money verses just having a landscape dealer split down the tree, now that I have the tree split down I plan on buying a tarp for the central heating plus cooling unit, however a tarp seems to be the greatest thing right now with a lot of people buying them to protect their central heating plus air conditioner units. It can protect from things like the tree I just had split down, the leaves that gather around the heating plus a/c unit in the fall plus then also it can protect your heating plus a/c against the storms like hail plus such things like that. But I am cheerful that I finally had this tree that was a major pain in the rear split down plus now I will no longer have to worry about it possibly messing up my central heating plus a/c.

Did Heating & A/C systems just shrink?

Everyone I know who just got brand modern & completely current central heating, ventilation & A/Cs seem to have much smaller heat & air conditioning units than what I regularly have been used to, and did central heating, ventilation & A/Cs just shrink? Or am I crazy? Or is this the way they are made these days.

I found out after doing some particularly curious research on the internet that sure, it is a fact that central heating, ventilation & A/Cs are now made much more compact & light weight than what they were 10 years ago; Which that was about the time I bought my last central heating, ventilation & A/C unit.

So I had no idea what they were making now days, however heating & air conditioning technology as well as how heating, ventilation & A/C equipment are made is a whole modern world this week verses a decade ago. I find it both amusing & impressive that they can make an all so powerful & particularly nice central heating, ventilation & A/C these days inside a particularly small & light weight case! The thing is light enough for a single guy to be able to move it instead of it needing 2 to 3 people to move the older central heating, ventilation & A/C units that I have known all of my life. Heating & A/C technology never stops impressing me. I am sure that there are more amazing things just around the corner!

Heating and Air Conditioning ads weren’t for me.

When I talked about becoming the owner of a local Heating and Air Conditioning corporation, I was thinking about all the tasks I didn’t want to do.

One of the scariest things about owning a small contractor biz is wondering how you were going to get clients.

My husband Sam was gleeful and told me I would need to do some Heating and Air Conditioning advertising. I wasn’t interested in handling advertising, however Sam was. Sam told me advertising is what he went to college for, however he found me instead. Sam told me advertising was important. Sam and I could hire an online advertising contractor to advertise our small Heating and Air Conditioning corporation, or Sam and I could do it ourselves. I rolled my eyes and told him I was a Heating and Air Conditioning specialist and not a tablet geek. Sam once again reminded me he was a advertising major in college. That didn’t mean he was an expert in tablets. Sam said if I didn’t trust her, I could hire another online web development corporation. I was just talking about owning the Heating and Air Conditioning contractor and had no real plans yet, however he was already planning for ads and websites. I stopped Sam in mid-sentence and told him he was hired if I ever followed through with my idea. As it was at that moment, I was just speaking my thoughts aloud. I had no real intentions of being an Heating and Air Conditioning contractor owner, and it was sort of a ‘what if, and sometime in the future’ scenario. Sam must have thought it was a ‘this happening as soon as possible’ scenario… You would suppose I should have learned many years ago not to speak my ideas out loud. That’s how I wound up engaged.

The Heating tech said our furnace was about to die.

My husband Biff and I had talked about getting a whole-household air purification system installed.

I knew Biff and I had to call an Heating and Air Conditioning corporation.

There had to be a few unusual things which needed done when installing a whole-household air purification system. Biff called the Heating and Air Conditioning contractor I always used for the Heating and Air Conditioning system and told them what my enjoyable friend and I wanted. Two afternoons later, a Heating and Air Conditioning specialist named Ed was at my door. Ed checked the furnace and the a/c unit. Ed had records from the Heating and Air Conditioning contractor about our Heating and Air Conditioning system, but he wanted to be sure. Ed told us the furnace was all wrong for an Heating and Air Conditioning system. To use a whole-household air purification system, you had to have a central system that was compatible with a HEPA air filter. Our a/c equipment could take a HEPA air filter, but not the furnace. The furnace was getting pretty old, so I thought I would just get a new furnace, something else worried him. Ed said he did have records about the air duct. Was it ever cleaned? Did it need repairs? Ed then talked about UV lights. Anything that could get through the HEPA air filters, had to pass through a UV light. I knew what UV lights were for. I had a water filtration system that had UV lights. It killed everything that passed over it. I asked if there was anything else Biff and I could use for air purification separate from a new furnace. Ed said my enjoyable friend and I could do other things, but the furnace would still need to be replaced before winter weather arrived. I knew I wasn’t going to get around purchasing a newer furnace.

Getting the heated flooring installed.

I knew my brother-in-law was away for two or 3 weeks.

Sam was going to see their kid who had just had a baby.

Sam wanted to help with the baby until the kid was moving around a little bit better after having a c-section. Two afternoons after he left, Sam called me and asked me to come over. Sam told me his husband had consistently wanted radiant heated flooring in the lavatory, and he wanted my knowledge. I was an Heating and Air Conditioning specialist, but I wasn’t the kind of Heating and Air Conditioning tech who worked with radiant heated floors. That didn’t keep me from going to his house. Sam asked if his furnace would toil with radiant heat. I didn’t suppose so. Sam had a traditional Heating and Air Conditioning system. Most places with radiant heated flooring had boiler systems. The running water pipes were beneath the flooring and it was the tepid water that heated the flooring. He had a central Heating and Air Conditioning system which used air ducts to pull the heat to the rooms. He asked me if there were other ways to supply the same effect of radiant heated flooring. Some of my clients had installed heat tapes under the walkways and ramps. The electric heat tapes radiated heat up to the surface, and it didn’t allow for ice or snow to form on those areas. I told him heating tape should toil just as well, or better, under the lavatory floor. All I had to do was lift the carpeting or tiles, and place the electric heat tape. Sam volunteered me to help him with the radiant heated flooring in his lavatory. I was certainly the only Heating and Air Conditioning tech who would toil with Sam for free.

Old-school Air Conditioning isn’t for everyone.

A traditional furnace and central a/c was a thought, but Ed and I chose ductless Heating and Air Conditioning.

When I was a lot younger, I thought everyone used a furnace and window a/c units, or no a/c at all. I didn’t know there were unusual heating and a/c units back then. It wasn’t until I was in high college when I realized buildings other than major businesses, churches, and rich folks had central Heating and Air Conditioning. There were air ducts in the buildings and it delivered heating and a/c to every room in the building. Now that I am a little older, I am realizing that not everyone wants central a/c. A high amount of heating and a/c gets lost inside the air duct, and it is dusty. I’m not sure I would want central heating and a/c. I bought an older house that had a boiler. The heat is created with tepid air that flows through pipes. A small fan blows the heat off the pipes and through a floor radiator into the rooms. It is pretty warm, but the heat doesn’t consistently reach the ceiling. It cools before getting much past head high. There is no central a/c because there is no air duct. Once again I was relying on cheap window air conditioners for cooling; Last year, Ed and I had to replace our boiler. A traditional furnace and central a/c was a thought, but Ed and I chose ductless Heating and Air Conditioning. Ed and I didn’t have the cost of an air duct, and the heat and a/c came out of one unit, and it all went into the house. Ed and I love ductless Heating and Air Conditioning. It is cleaner to operate, more economical, and it needs far less servicing. I can’t imagine having better Heating and Air Conditioning that operates better or more cheaply than ductless Heating and Air Conditioning.

Tiny homes require very unusual Heating systems.

I could never fathom why anyone would want to live in such a tiny house.

I saw them as just a tin can, and only my husband and I had to share it.

I knew it would be crowded and uncomfortable, but I at least liked the husband. I wasn’t sure if he would like me for certainly long if he and I had to live in a tin can. Those thoughts were going through my mind when my kid Ed told me he wanted a tiny home. Ed asked me if I would help him decide what Heating and Air Conditioning I should put in the tiny house. I had been a Heating and Air Conditioning specialist for multiple years, but I had never thought about installing Heating and Air Conditioning into such a tiny home. I looked into many unusual systems, but none of them sounded feasible. I knew there were compact Heating and Air Conditioning systems, but after seeing Ed’s tiny home, I knew it would take up too much space inside the home. I asked Ed if he had thought about getting ductless Heating and Air Conditioning for the house. I showed Ed where my enjoyable friend and I could put the equipment that would virtually heat and cool the entire tiny home. Ed didn’t like where I showed his the placement, but I was afraid if it was at the other end of the house, it couldn’t heat the upper level. Once I looked at the upper level, I wouldn’t want to go up there if I was a furnace. When I told Ed that, he laughed. Ed kissed my cheek and told me he was living in the playroom I would never build for her.

Being an Air Conditioning contractor is interesting work.

Someone once asked me if I liked being a Heating and Air Conditioning specialist, and I told them it was very rewarding work.

I could have been more effusive, but I was bored with it all. I wanted something more to do. I liked being an Heating and Air Conditioning pro, but I thought there was something more for me to do in my life. When I had the chance to become a Heating and Air Conditioning dealer, I was finally excited. I knew how to fully repair and install Heating and Air Conditioning systems, but now I was going to be building them from the ground up. I could go into homes and inspect Heating and Air Conditioning systems for prospective clients, buyers, and sellers. I worked with people having new houses built, so they had the perfect Heating and Air Conditioning system for their needs. I also helped folks decide what type of Heating and Air Conditioning system they want. The only issue with being a Heating and Air Conditioning contractor was my interest. Being a Heating and Air Conditioning contractor is interesting work, but I wanted to go further. I went back to college for Heating and Air Conditioning systems engineering. I wasn’t just helping people find the perfect Heating and Air Conditioning unit for their needs, but I was learning how to build Heating and Air Conditioning equipment. I knew the Heating and Air Conditioning system inside and out, and was helping to build a unit that was more economical and environmentally friendly. I’m not just having a random job that is rewarding or interesting or even exciting. I was enjoying being a skilled Heating and Air Conditioning engineer, and I was doing something that would be beneficial not only for those today, but for the future of Heating and Air Conditioning. It took about sixteen years to get where I am, but I don’t begrudge any of the years I had to put in to get here.
