Air Conditioning Tips

Sometimes I worry about being a woman.

It’s not that I feel continually threatened by men or any crazy hubbub like that, although there are plenty of sincere creepers out there.

I worry more about the likelihood that I am taken advantage of when I lack technical expertise traditionally held by masculine figures. For instance, when I’m upsold a full set of new tires because one of mine has a slow leak. Or the time I paid $2000 in “critical” repairs to my car, which apparently included replacing the battery and rotating my tires. Or even the day my neighbor had to get involved to save me from a crooked HVAC technician, selling me recycled heating and cooling supplies. That one probably needs more explanation. See, I was renovating a few spaces in my house, when the contractor realized that my indoor ventilation plan could use a huge upgrade. Since we were already doing work on the house, I went ahead and contacted the heating and cooling specialist he recommended, and we started talking about new AC and furnace equipment. We discussed new ductwork and replacing the air intake handler, as well. Everything seemed on the up and up, until the day that all my new HVAC equipment was being delivered. Suddenly my neighbor wandered over, and was curiously asking pointed questions and checking out the large machinery in my yard. He hummed and hawed for a moment, and then In the blink of an eye, he was demanding the HVAC equipment was taken away. He started yelling at the ventilation technicians to take back their used heating and cooling devices. He said they better not show their faces again until they had the HVAC equipment that we agreed upon, in brand new and working order! Thank god he knew better than I.
Electric heating

My friends and family are always chuckling about how much anxious energy I have, and how deeply I overthink things.

They love the fact that I get so stressed out to go to the grocery store that I’ll wind up in a puddle of tears.

They taunt me over my inability to decide what to eat at every meal. They think it’s adorable that I always overpack the car to prepare for every worst case scenario, even on short weekend trips. Well, after this past weekend they started giving me a little more credit, after my overthinking saved us from disaster. We were traveling though the mountains and pulled over at a janky hotel when the roads got too dark for safety. The only problem was, when we entered our stinky little room, the air was freezing cold. I mean, literally the indoor air temperature was below 30 degrees upon entering. The front desk clerk told us in a bored tone that the heater units all worked similarly in the hotel, and he didn’t have another room or furnace to offer us. He was unconcerned with our clattering teeth, and never even offered to call an HVAC technician or the maintenance department. Everyone was starting to get slightly hysterical, talking about freezing to death in the night and making backup plans to sleep in the car with the heat on all night. That’s when I calmly walked out to the van, rummaged around, and emerged victoriously with a small electric heater in hand. The space heater was powerful enough to raise the temperature in our room near 55 degrees, and we comfortably made it to see daylight. Good thing I was prepared for a total HVAC failure wherever we travelled.

Quality heating and cooling

When I married my husband, I didn’t exactly realize everyone that was coming along with him.

Not only is there his dog and his son, but then his parents drop into our house for a weekend every month without notice.

Not to mention all the musicians who stop into town for gigs and crash at our place. Plus all of our friends who drive cross country to visit. It feels like continual visitors, rotating in and out of our pro-bono AirBNB. I don’t mind having the company around the house, but there are a few aspects of the whole deal that try my personal anxieties. For instance, all of the cleaning that goes into preparing a home for guests, and sterilizing it again after they leave. You see, I’m a bit of a germ nerd, and I’m most concerned about the bacteria we breathe. I struggle with the thought of indoor air contamination stemming from strangers’ coughs, dander, and sneezes. I do not appreciate the idea of these guests leaving pieces of themselves behind, and my indoor air handling system circulating those airborne pollutants all throughout my home. That’s why I’m obsessive about our indoor air quality, and continually pestering my husband for a media air cleaner. Currently, after our guests leave, I have to go through and change all the air filters in our heating and cooling equipment, try my best to vacuum out the air ducts, and wipe down the air vents in every room. I wipe down every surface, and even went so far as to purchase UV sterilization lights to zap any remaining bacteria circulating in the air. I would much rather have a real air purification system hooked right up to our current HVAC plan to remove all the airborne toxins. If he’s bringing all these germs into the house, he should help me get them back out.
Commercial air conditioning

I am one of those people who will shop online for anything and everything on earth.

I absolutely abhor going out and running errands, jumping from store to store in search of something that is usually out of stock.

I waste so much time and energy dealing with parking and waiting in lines, not to mention the social anxiety that I face with almost any visit into public spaces. That’s why I’m an online shopping fiend, with important appreciate for buying in bulk and forgetting about buying that item ever again. Well, this usually works out for me, however it absolutely backfired the other week when I purchased 6 months of hair dye at once. I found a great sale and feared that my number one color was going out of production, so I bought a backstock for my closet. The only problem was, I forgot about the air vent which points straight into the closet. More particularly, I forgot that the outdoor air temperature was about to plummet, and the central heat would need to be emplotted for the first time all year. Of course, it was a particularally chilly day when I went off to labor and forgot to power down the heat. When I returned to my house, I realized that there was a odd stink in the air, however couldn’t find the source. A week later I found it when I walked into my closet and found a bloodbath. The powerful boiler had pumped so much moderate air into my closet as the furnace cycled on and off that the hair dye bottles began to react and expand. Thanks to the heat they exploded everywhere and totally ruined my closet of clothing.

Rooftop HVAC

I learned this the hard way, when I once snuck away to smoke out a window, only for the air to beginning roaring through all the overhead air vents in the powder room

I dislike to admit that I still keep sneaky secrets from my mom at this stage in my life – although I do, then she knows that I’m no angel; she’s seen me and my friends absolutely chop loose a number of times in our adult lives, even though she absolutely has no clue what else I’m up to, however i’ll chop to the chase and tell you, I’m kindof a important stoner. I can’t help it, I’ve been hooked on the stuff since I realized that it was a more effective sleep aid at the age of 20… After a decade of smoking every day to ease myself to sleep, I’m pretty used to the stuff, then that’s why I have to be super sneaky whenever my mom comes into neighborhood and I need to calm down for bed; Luckily, I have figured out the perfect combination of masking techniques. I’ll tell you, step number one is turning off the entire HVAC system. If your temperature control is on some preset auto-controls for your indoor air quality, there’s a unbelievable option that the heating or cooling system will provide you away. I learned this the hard way, when I once snuck away to smoke out a window, only for the air to beginning roaring through all the overhead air vents in the powder room. The abrupt airflow began sucking my smoke back into the home and circulating it with the indoor air! That day I realized that the temperature control could not be trusted – it had to be shut down absolutely so that a abrupt rush of A/C through the nearest vent and back into the air return didn’t provide me away. The anti-HVAC system works like a charm; if you remember step number one, you’re already almost in the clear.

My animal as well as I have the best, most mutually beneficial relationship ever, I swear to you. He as well as I have vibed hard off of each other since the afternoon that we met, as well as I don’t see that changing any time soon. My nice friend and I just have the same personalities as well as generally don’t have any squabbles between us, unless he rolls in poop. It might really be the best relationship of my entire life. Another reason that I honestly prefer having him around is I can constantly blame things on him. If I’m feeling like I can’t stand another minute of my husband’s driving, I can say that the animal looks like he needs a break to go outside. If I want to stay at household instead of wasting currency out on the town, I tell people that my animal isn’t feeling well as well as i need to be by his side. When I want to have a current boiler update as well as know that my husband won’t spend the currency on a brand current boiler, I tell him that the animal is shivering chilly all the time as well as needs more warmth. About a month ago I began commenting on his exhausting chilly little body as well as pointed out all the times that our animal looked chilly or coughed from exhausting air quality. I started littering the household with Heating & A/C discount coupons as well as articles about the current energy efficient heaters on the market. I begged my husband to suppose of our outdated pet as well as his desire to be comfortable in his final years. Wouldn’t you know, we got a brand current boiler last week, along with a full air duct cleaning as well as temperature control replacement, to boot.

I’m pretty blessed to have a mostly independent position for work.

I actually do not like to labor with other humans because that means I have to depend on them for multiple stressful aspects of my job.

I actually dislike making small talk, & I also actually deplore having to labor around someone else’s schedule, and probably the best part about laboring as autonomously as I do is getting to set my own schedule & actually maximize my life. That’s why I’m so grateful that I can just scoot this little inventory count a few days later in the week to avoid the brutal cold of today. You see, we live in a pretty sizzling & muggy area. During the summer, our town is known for being sizzling & humid. During the winter, the outdoor air temperature is usually pretty mild & comfortable, which is good for me because I dislike being cold. I love the fact that I was wearing a sweatshirt outside on Christmas this past year, instead of bundling up inside & refusing to leave the central heat. However, we still get just a few cold days here & there. This week is one of them – out of nowhere the outdoor air quality dropped down to a cold & dry 30 degrees, & a mighty wind kicked up too. I’m not accustomed to this chill, & I don’t want to leave this sizzling office to freeze my butt off in the warehouse. Thanks to this independent job, I can kneel at my sizzling desk & wait for the air temperature to match my preferences before I have to torture myself because so-and-so said so.

My entire life, I have really loved substantial storms.

I don’t know what it is about pounding rain, ringing thunder, plus flashes of brilliant lightening, but I’m completely entranced by these substantial weather events.

I care about sitting out, seeing the trees bend, plus feeling tiny in the immense power of the storm. I also love sleeping peacefully at evening, with the sheets of rain lulling me into a deep slumber. I’ve never experienced a substantial thunderstorm that I didn’t appreciate… until last month. Our region hastily transitioned from bitterly cold winter season to warm plus humid summer, with really little time in between. With this enormous air quality change, so came a substantial series of tumultuous storms. I was in heaven, basking in the sounds plus sights… until the air conditioner quit. All of a sudden, there was a substantial gust of wind, a loud crash, plus the apartment began to feel quite stagnant. I went to the thermostat to investigate, plus found that the air conditioner equipment had gone offline. Peering out back into the darkness, I saw our A/C equipment hidden beneath a substantial limb when the next flash of lightning lit up the yard. Fantastic. It was so brutal outside that my friend and I couldn’t even venture out to investigate the central cooling system detriment. My buddy and I thought that was going to be a terrible expense, but had no idea what else was coming our way. With another substantial gust of wind, a substantial limb fell onto the side of our house, crushing the west wall plus bringing the air ducts down with it. Not only did my friend and I gain a substantial insurance claim plus apartment construction project, but our entire central cooling system plus substantial portion of our air ductwork had to be updated in the wake of the storms.

New HVAC systems

This past weekend my associate and I were out of town, hitting the road and travelling good distances, as usual.

This is no unfamiliar event for us; it seems like we’re always in the motorcar these nights, driving thousands of miles for gigs, school tests, and friendly visits, however all that being said, you would think that I’d be able to figure out the temperature control situation at household when we’re gone.

For the longest time, I simply forgot to adjust the temperature control before my associate and I walked out the door. In all the hustle and bustle of packing and loading the car, I would rightfully forget to walk down the hallway and turn down the air handling equipment. Then, I would remember halfway through the trip that the A/C was still set to 74 degrees or the boiler was still blasting away. After that, I simply felt guilty and worried about the energy I wasted, and the trip would suffer from my negative energy. That’s why my husband finally had a smart temperature control installed in our home, to circumvent this guilt. Suddenly, I had the ability to adjust the indoor air temperature from somewhere! Whenever I remembered that our Heating, Ventilation & A/C system was still pumping away at home, I could actually modify the temperature control settings and reduce my anxiety. Well, that was a unquestionably good improvement to our household energy expenditure and Heating, Ventilation & A/C plan… however it only works if this idiot can figure out how to use it properly, and last weekend, I thought I was turning the A/C down in our absence, even though I was unquestionably cranking up the heat to 74 degrees. When my associate and I got back into town, our condo was scalding sizzling and our energy bill was quite impressive.
