Finished with the cooling work

I’ve been working in the heating and a/c industry for several years now, however after being in it for a long time, I’m looking to finally stop.

I really like working as a heating and air conditioning expert.

In fact, I have enjoyed it so much that it’s something that I wouldn’t mind doing even after I have retired. What I like about heating and air con is that the work is simple, my business pays well for my labor, and it’s lovely to see somebody smiling after using the air con or oil heater. I have seen some folks that have been without air con for months, and after that we come along and service the air con and they are just so relieved because now they are no longer in the heat in their lake house, covered in sweat all the time and now they can finally chill. I have also been fortunate enough to meet some cool people, as there are some nice families out there and I have had people invite me to stay over at their site and just hang out with them for a while. But for as much as I have enjoyed being a heating and air con professional, I do realize that now is the time for me to retire. I’m ready to just sit back and relax and enjoy the rest of my later years. I have been working all my life, and now I’m ready for the long break that I need.

I like the addition of ductless HVAC

Our house is a little oddly shaped.

Don’t get me wrong, I mean.

I’m very fortunate to be able to call this house my home because it is fantastic. The shape of our house has also caused a heating and cooling issue that took me some time to fix. Our house is kind of sprawling and on one level. This was brought on by the previous owners expanding the house’s original or main portion by adding wings. Since we have a large family and these additions help with space and privacy, I love that we have them. However, since I’m now working full-time from home, I deal with a lack of cooling for a large portion of the year. As a result, there isn’t much of a need for heating where we live in the south. The heat pump is more than adequate for meeting our needs. On the other hand, my office, which is exposed on three sides and located at the end of one of the additions, receives sunlight all day. Because we have excellent heating and cooling systems, the HVAC system is not the problem. Due to constant direct sunlight heating, my end of the house simply gets much hotter during the summer. Keeping the shades closed helped, but I couldn’t achieve the same level of cooling as the rest of the house until I had a ductless heat pump installed by the HVAC specialists. The HVAC company helped me solve this issue, and I’m so appreciative. The ductless heat pump is what allows me to work in my home office in such amazing comfort.

Fixing bad HVAC practices

I’ve had my fun. That is exactly how I feel about the cooling in our house. I don’t think it’s asking too much if you just pay attention to the thermostat and the HVAC system. If we aren’t careful, our summer utility bills can become extremely high. Simply put, it doesn’t happen anymore. I have pleaded and made efforts to persuade my family. It seems to go in one ear and out the other with children. But even my wife, who concurs with my thesis, has been known to overuse the cooling. I’ve pleaded for assistance with the air conditioning in family meetings and even one-on-one visits for years. Nothing alters, however, and by August my utility bills have skyrocketed as a result of no one else paying attention to the thermostat but me. That alters this year. It’s already changed, in actuality. Just yet, though, my family is unaware of it. Late last fall, when the HVAC professional came to service the heating, I had a smart thermostat installed. It goes without saying that there isn’t much demand for heating down here, so I’m not worried about that. I am aware that I can lock out anyone else who tries to use the manual thermostat with the smart thermostat, though. Now that March has arrived, I can’t wait to witness the first instance when someone tries to turn the air conditioning down but is unable to. So that I can record the event, I almost want to install a video camera. The smart thermostat can only be used in manual mode going forward because I am the only one with the code. I made an effort to convince my family, but I think I’ll just change our bad HVAC practices from now on.

Relief from allergies and air purification

It’s pleasant to feel this way now that spring has arrived.

Although it’s still February, spring has officially arrived in this part of the world.

As I write this in my home’s central air conditioning, I can see green outside my window. Additionally, it’s one of the first times the heat pump has turned on in weeks. Today’s high was in the mid 80s, and I’m now experiencing cooling to bring the temperature down to a comfortable level for tonight’s sleep. So in a way, it’s already air conditioning season. That normally gives me a lot of anxiety and makes me go to the pharmacy. Seasonal allergies are common, and they go hand in hand with air conditioning and new growth. My struggle with this has lasted a very long time. Tree and grass pollen tends to make me extremely sick. But this February doesn’t worry me. In fact, I’m somewhat eager to discover the full potential of the home air purification system. I had been saving money to buy an air purifier. It is one that is integrated into the HVAC system, so I don’t have to move it all over the house. A further benefit of this air purifier is that there are no filters to maintain. But this device completely eliminates all contaminants from indoor air. I won’t have to worry about pollen floating around in my home’s interior air, then. The house will at least now serve as a haven where my respiratory system won’t be attacked nearly constantly. The indoor air quality has already improved dramatically thanks to this air purifier. I’m astonished by how clean and fresh our indoor air is these days. I’m now prepared for spring.

My son makes a compelling case for a smart thermostat

I was aware that my child was intelligent.

But man, before he left for college, he sure was a pill. The young person was just so distinctive. He used to be constantly studying, so there was a time when I couldn’t make him leave the central air conditioning. But once he had secured the scholarships and his admission to the college, he was already checked out at home. It appeared as though he set his own rules, or at least believed he did. He had to follow our rules if he wanted to live in our home with central air conditioning, but I wasn’t trying to dash his hard-earned confidence. He did, and more so than not, we relished his senior year. But as soon as my son finally attended his preferred school and moved into a dorm with radiant heating, he just started to thrive. He seemed to have an endless capacity to pursue his passion once he had discovered it. As he was just killing it with his grades, that is where all the smarts came in. He’s a sophomore now, and during his winter break at home he ended up teaching me about HVAC technology. This led me to invest in HVAC technology, which should significantly reduce my summertime air conditioning expenses. Regarding the smart thermostat, my son explained it to me in detail. He presented a compelling case for having a smart thermostat and was very knowledgeable about them. In fact, it was so bad that I made a call to the HVAC company to install the smart thermostat. Since we don’t require a lot of heating, I haven’t yet seen what this thing is capable of. Yet all that air conditioning will soon be obsolete as summer approaches. I’ll save a lot of money if my kid is correct, I wager.

With the heat pump, there are no humidity issues

The weather is getting warmer.

Soon, the humidity will almost exactly match the temperature.

When that pair get up in the 90s and stay close to the century mark, it can be miserable to deal with indeed. This is why each of us has a residential HVAC system with an air conditioning focus. The cooling is what we require, not the heating. However, that is par for the course. And in this area, the worst of the heat and humidity only last for about four months. A brief reprieve from the heat may come from a cold front, but that’s incredibly uncommon. Even so, I would much rather endure a hot summer than the kind of winter our northern neighbors experience. After getting a taste of that mess, I immediately ran back to the heat pump. Even though the summers are hot and muggy, the other eight months of the year are generally quite pleasant. And as our winter comes to an end, I’m bringing to a close the best aspect of the weather. Even the first heat pump turning on for some air conditioning was audible the other day. The heat pump actually balances the humidity levels in our homes because of the cooling process. When you enter from the outside, it feels especially crisp and cool for that reason. We would be in for it with the level of humidity throughout much of the year if it weren’t for this amazing HVAC technology. The issue would extend beyond simply the discomfort brought on by the heat and humidity. No, without the heat pump’s humidity control, we would all be dealing with mold and mildew removal throughout the summer.

Had an air conditioning family gathering

So this year, I’m for real.

When it comes to how we handle the cooling that we require in our homes, we’ll take a proactive approach.

Our fourth spring and summer will soon arrive. We need to accept the fact that it will be hot and muggy here. The best way to handle that fact is not to hide inside a home or office’s air conditioning system. As a family, we must accept the fact that even though we are not locals, we have moved here. So, we must behave accordingly. We can no longer simply leave the air conditioning on full-blast inside our house. I had to use savings because my utility bills were so high. That simply does not occur anymore. It’s for this reason that my wife, kids, and I put together a small family gathering. My ideas and plan were laid out. First off, despite the fact that it is in the 80s during the day’s busiest heating hours, we are not turning on the thermostat. It’s getting close to those times because March 1 is quickly approaching. We are going to gradually acclimate to the increasing temperatures and humidity levels rather than immediately turning on the air conditioning. Soon enough, the heat pump will be used for cooling day and night. But if we can learn to tolerate the heat, we won’t need as much air conditioning in the summer. We’ll stop being afraid of the heat and start acting as we live here. Of course our house will have air conditioning. But I just want everyone to work together to cut down on these absurd utility bills brought on by summertime air conditioning that never stops.

The HVAC process takes me back

Now that I’m in my 70s, I genuinely feel as though my life is coming full circle in a lot of ways.

It’s genuinely strange in a way.

I’ve reconnected with old friends, and swimming has rekindled my love for it. One of those guys who avoided the air conditioning in the summer was me. I swam almost every day I could growing up because I lived only a few blocks from a large lake. Even driving has rekindled my interest in and enjoyment of travel. I was shocked by a sensation I hadn’t felt since I was a child on a recent visit to my son’s new home. My dorm room had radiant heating, so that is incorrect. But as soon as I entered my son’s new home, I felt just like a little kid again. He has a geothermal heat pump that uses radiant floor heating to transfer heat energy. It reminded me of entering my grandparents’ home when I was about seven. Actually, I had to take a moment to gather my thoughts. It was that powerful memory feeling that caused my body to become very energized. But I soon realized what it was about this kind of heating technique that I adored so much. Radiant heating gives you the impression of wrapping in warmth. With the geo heat pump’s radiant floor heating, that is most definitely how it felt. I don’t need much heating anymore because I live in the south. But man, I’ll love making the drive to my son’s house once more next winter. I’m also looking forward to the summer trip to experience the geothermal heat pump’s air conditioning.

Using ductless HVAC, create a home office

But I’m thrilled to have such high-quality heating and air in my new home office

Although it didn’t begin with the pandemic, I was sure that I was prepared for the change because of the pandemic. The idea was for me to obtain my master’s degree, work for a company for a while, and then strike out on my own. But I had been working at my job for just over ten years before I decided to leave the zone-controlled HVAC of the office and work remotely from home. So much for only utilizing the commercial HVAC system for a brief period of time. In fact, as my career with the company has progressed, I’ve learned a lot and sharpened my skills. I never really wanted a corner office with a thermostat though. And working from home during the worst of the pandemic while enjoying my own air conditioning certainly served as a reminder of that. Therefore, I came to the conclusion that there was not a better time to go out by myself. As I made my plans final, I asked to continue working remotely from home. A ductless heat pump was the final touch I added to my home office this fall. The fact that I’m doing it without the overhead of an office space, even though this was once my guest room, pleases me. I’ll want to scale up as a consultant before renting an office, adding staff and all that. Right now, just baby steps. But I’m thrilled to have such high-quality heating and air in my new home office. I appreciate having a separate HVAC system from the rest of the house so I can set the temperature where I want it while I’m at work. I suppose in a way I’m enjoying having my own thermostat in my office after all.

HVAC warranty must be read

And that is a substantial document.

My wife enjoys delving deep into the specifics of pretty much anything and everything. I’m not at all like that. Therefore, it’s possible that was something that was meant to be. Another instance of how we perfectly meet each other’s needs, I suppose. My wife was the first to make the call to the HVAC specialists when it came time to replace the HVAC equipment. The HVAC technician warned us that the heat pump would soon run out of gas and that we should prepare. HVAC was therefore on her mind. She began researching modern residential HVAC systems and new HVAC technology online. She was therefore familiar with HVAC by the time the HVAC contractor arrived to check the ductwork and speak with us. That is something I adore about her. In the interim, all I can think about is when I’ll actually get that smart thermostat I’ve wanted for ten years. I’m more interested in the HVAC technology toys while she delves into the details. But when it came to the HVAC warranty, my wife’s attention to detail really came in handy. She not only read it several times, but she also registered the new HVAC system the day after it was installed. And that is a substantial document. However, she was aware that we needed to immediately sign up for the HVAC service plan by doing this. She was aware that I should stay away from the HVAC system. The HVAC unit’s warranty would be void if it were handled improperly by someone who isn’t a licensed HVAC technician. I adore my spouse.
