When you’ve lived inside rented housing all your life, there comes a big shift when you become a first time homeowner. Suddenly, you’re not calling the superintendent of the building or the rental company to come service the heating plus cooling or whatever. And all the upkeep plus maintenance of a lake house is on you as well. There was a big studying curve for myself and others when I first bought this house. And I recognize I was a bit surprised by it. That has to do with the fact that I was just so eager plus happy to leave lake house life behind. I never lived in an lake house that had truly fantastic residential Heating, Ventilation plus A/C. Also, I was ready to shed the noisy neighbors plus all that stuff as well. To be able to pay a mortgage plus build some equity was what I was all about. And I recognize that I simply didn’t fully get the fact that owning a lake lake house comes with plenty of tasks. So initially, I wasn’t really fantastic with many of the responsibilities that come with homeownership. A big one was the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C duties. I was leaving dirty air filters for weeks at a time which is not fantastic for the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C equipment. And I forgot to call for the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C maintenance that was essential to the performance plus longevity of the residential Heating, Ventilation plus A/C. So I called the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C company plus signed up for the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C service plan. This way, I don’t have to remember the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C maintenance appointments as the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C company takes care of that. And then, I set alarms across all of our devices to remind myself and others to change the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C air filter every week.

I’m so cheerful that both of us made the transport to the south once both of us retired.
I realize that this is sort of beatboxcorrect behavior in some sense! So many retirees from the north end up down here.
But I now understand the appeal of trading a gas oil furnace for a heat pump plus a appealing winter. Sure, the Summer can be brutally hot; Yet, that’s why both of us rely upon the latest in residential Heating, Ventilation plus A/C for air conditioning comfort in the summer. The little lake house that both of us ended up buying when both of us moved down here came with brand modern heating plus cooling equipment. And both of us like having this heat pump supply both the heating plus cooling both of us need in one Heating, Ventilation plus A/C unit. But both of us also like the fact that our lake lake house came with a sunroom linked to the back. I was a bit skeptical about having a sunroom in a region where there is sunshine all the time. And I took the advice of a buddy when both of us moved in to call the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C company for some residential Heating, Ventilation plus A/C in the sunroom. Adding that ductless heat pump to the sunroom made all the difference during the Summer of course. That cooling comfort was a blessing during the blazing summer. But it’s also been truly nice this winter. There are truly days when I wake up plus want to go outside to love our coffee in the sunroom. So having that ductless heat pump be able to knock the chill out with a little bit of heating first thing in the afternoon has been ideal.

The extremely long and cold winters in my area necessitate running the furnace for six to eight months.
The outside temperature frequently dips below freezing and often well below zero.
The wind chill is downright brutal. Because cold air retains less moisture than warm air, we end up with problems with humidity. Plus, the blast of heat from the furnace further dries out the living environment. It causes health concerns such as itchy eyes, sneezing, coughing, headaches, sore throat and an increased risk of sinus infection. Along with chapped lips, frizzy hair and static shock, insufficient humidity aggravates allergies, asthma, eczema and psoriasis. There’s the possibility of hardwood floors and furnishings drying out and cracking. Since the overly dry air feels colder, we tend to raise the thermostat setting. The furnace then needs to work hard and run more often. It experiences greater wear and tear, uses more energy and leads to higher energy bills. I tried portable humidifiers, but they were too much work for very little benefit. I constantly needed to clean and refill the reservoir. I noticed a strange smell in the air. I finally invested into a whole-house humidifier that incorporated right into the furnace. I chose a steam-style humidifier that uses electrodes to change water to steam. The steam is introduced into the warm air before it gets circulated throughout the house. Since adding the humidifier, I’ve been able to lower the thermostat by a couple of degrees and yet the living space feels warmer and more comfortable. The humidifier wasn’t overly expensive and is paying for itself by way of lower heating bills. The operation is nearly silent and the device requires only annual maintenance.

One of the selling points when we purchased our house was the huge fireplace in the living room. The fireplace is constructed out of large fieldstones and entirely takes up the one wall. With the large mantle and hearth, it’s a beautiful focal point. Since we live in an area with especially long and harsh winters, heating is essential. My husband and I were both excited by the opportunity to cut wood, build a fire and enjoy a free source of heat. Plus, I looked forward to the ambience. I imagined us spending a cold winter night sitting in front of the fireplace sipping a glass of wine. We’ve lived in the house nearly five years and have built one fire. It was a tremendous amount of work and created a huge mess. First we needed to cut down trees and create logs of a suitable size. The wood was wet and couldn’t be burned until it dried out. The logs were heavy and difficult to carry and hauling them through the house left a trail of dirt. We struggled to get the fire started and then dealt with smoke, fumes and ash. Our whole house smelled like a campfire. The heat was contained right near the fireplace. Afterward, it was necessary to hire a company to clean the flu. Since then, the fireplace has been entirely ornamental. I recently got the idea to have it converted into a natural gas heater. Our house is already equipped with natural gas that runs the furnace, stove, clothes dryer and water heater. From what I’ve read, it would not be that difficult, invasive or expensive to install and insert into the fireplace. It would still have the look of a real fire but with none of the disadvantages. We could start up the fireplace with the tap of a button on a remote. The fireplace insert would include a thermostat and fan, allowing us to set the ideal temperature and distribute the heat throughout the room.

I had a good night of sleep thanks to the comfort of my aunt’s house. I am staying here for another week and then I head back to my life on the Spanish coast. It will be tough saying bye to my mom because I may not be back for another year this time. It could be the last time I see her and my stepdad together as they are both getting older and you never know. But I have to live my life over there because it has become just too expensive to live here in the States. HVAC system sales and repair is my work over there and I only have to work about 15 hours a week to live comfortably in a nice quiet beach town. There is no way I could survive here on those hours and if I moved back here I would spend most of my time driving around chasing money. I don’t mind working for the heating and cooling supplier part time, but driving to work at a local business and spending all day there to survive is not my idea of a fun time. I guess it will all work out how it is supposed to work out and me worrying or thinking about it doesn’t really help the situation at all. I’ll just keep on doing my air conditioning maintenance job for the local contractor in my town overseas and try to keep saving money so that I can rent a car next time I come back to visit my family.

Today is the first day of 2023 and I am going to attempt to stop drinking beer each day and cut back on the sugar.
- I normally don’t eat any sugar, but being back here in the States over the holidays is proving to be tough on my healthy diet plans.
I guess I don’t have a lot of willpower when sugar is all around me, but when I go home it is a lot easier because I have no sugar or sweets in my flat. I just need my flatmate to be on the same page as me too. Residential heating and cooling repairs is my job over there and I also work on climate control systems in commercial buildings. I just want to try and be as healthy as possible so that I can live a long time and have a good body to help me get there. Working on big heat pumps and hot water heaters all day can be tough on the lower back and shoulders, and doing yoga each day helps a lot with keeping them strong and healthy. I am going to go for a run today and do a little leg workout, then after that I will try and meet up with a friend somewhere for lunch maybe. Today may be a bit difficult though because lots of local businesses are closed and most of my HVAC tech friends are busy with their families and stuff. I may be stuck here at my aunt’s house because I have no car to get me around town while visiting here.

I have also already tied up the cooling system tune up because having a well maintained heat pump is key to getting maximum efficiency
All of us aren’t yet even to January and I’m already thinking about how to rein in the costs of cooling system. Mid January is the depth of Winter for our neighbors to the north. But for us, it’s the best time of the year. I wish every one of us could keep the weather and the hot and cold temperatures like this all year, for sure, it’s nice to not have the heat pump running night and day. And I love, love, appreciate the fact that I have basically zero heating costs acquaintanced with the Heating plus A/C equipment. Like I said, the heat pump hardly even comes on during our ultra mild winter. But that won’t last a whole lot longer. The hot and cold temperatures will rise in the next 6 or 7 weeks to the point where every one of us easily will have to turn on the cooling system. My partner is pretty sensitive to heat and so there is plenty of cooling system in our house. That’s also why I beginning thinking about preparing now in order to save later on all those cooling system costs. One of the biggest things a homeowner can do in this region to save on cooling costs is to have a easily tight home. So I spend this time of year going over every inch of the exterior of our home to seal up any cracks or gaps. I also inspect all the weather stripping as the sunlight can damage that pretty easily down here, then replacing the weather stripping is another important area of sealing up a house. I have also already tied up the cooling system tune up because having a well maintained heat pump is key to getting maximum efficiency. And this year, we are adding some new solar shades on a single side of the home in order to completely mitigate direct sunlight heating.

I like having great neighbors, and that’s always been something that I sort of secretly wanted. As a kid, I grew up in a giant city and lived in a giant beach house building… While every one of us had neighbors, it wasn’t at all like living in a town. The building was older and every one of us had radiant heating in the Winter and just a window cooling system in the summer, however nobody was rich and almost everyone was sort of to themselves in that building. So having a acquaintance reach out to help you is pretty special for me, however but recently, that has also gotten to be a bit awkward. This past holiday season, every one of us had a hiccup with the Heating plus A/C equipment. Where every one of us live it’s not brutal, brutal chilly like they have way up north. But still it is chilly enough that you need the heat pump running most days. And our heat pump wasn’t kicking on when every one of us flipped the thermostat over to heating. A acquaintance found out about it and gave his assistance… Of course, in our home every one of us only turn to the Heating plus A/C professionals when there is a problem with the heating and cooling in the house. Our acquaintance wanted to supply us with a number for a handyman he uses to do his residential Heating plus A/C repairs, then i asked if the handyman was a licensed Heating plus A/C specialist and our acquaintance just kind of laughed. I took the number because that was the neighborly thing to do. But suppose me, the first thing I did was call the Heating plus A/C supplier the next afternoon. And I am cheerful I did. Not only do they guarantee the service but it was not a giant deal at all as they just had to update a small relay switch.
