Don’t take bets on that aged heat pump

So my partner and I sure had a surprise almost 18 months ago.

That was when my pal and I had the A/C tune up done early in the Spring.

That’s a wise choice around here given that temperatures in March can get to the upper 73’s during the afternoon at times. So we’ve constantly busy the Spring Heating, Ventilation and A/C repair early. But it wasn’t early enough as it turned out. The Heating, Ventilation and A/C professional told us that he had real reservations about whether or not the heat pump would last through the Summer. That was a jolt. Of course, it shouldn’t have been since the heat pump was almost 25 years old, then with all that Heating, Ventilation and A/C repair, the heat pump was just never a problem and my pal and I simply didn’t guess about replacing it. So my pal and I came into last Summer with a lame heat pump because my pal and I needed to save more money to replace it. My fine friend and I had to sort of organize a family meeting because my pal and I all had to do our part to help get the aged heat pump through one more blazing Summer. That was going to be a tall order as my pal and I generally default to more A/C than less. My fine friend and I easily were cruising through July last year when my son bet me that it would last til October. That was too juicy a bet to resist and I took early October. Well, my son ended up winning the afternoon on that one as that aged heat pump easily lasted until my pal and I replaced it in October. That was one bet that I was quite glad to pay off.

Brothers add Heating & Air Conditioning technology to family space

It’s so tough saying goodbye to your parents; Almost all of us have to deal with that scenario in one way or the other sometime in our lifetime; My sister & I lost our dad two years ago & it’s still tough to even suppose about him, but I suppose she would approve of having air conditioning in the dwelling she left to us, but this was her spot for sure! She was raised in a bizarre era where hunting easily put meat on the table & in the freezer. The fact that her hunting dwelling was on land owned by the family for generations made it all the better. My sister & I could hardly bring ourselves to visit the dwelling much less start renovations that ended up including Heating & Air Conditioning equipment. This was the locale where my sister & I learned an bad lot about being grown women. There was something about how easy dad was when my buddy and I were roughing it at the cabin; It was all just so straight-forward out there. These mornings, I now understand why she would shed the commercial Heating & Air Conditioning of the office for long weekends of solitude at the cabin. After my buddy and I made a few visits just us, my sister & I decided that my buddy and I wanted to make the dwelling family friendly. Times had changed as my buddy and I both cherish our wives & want them with us… Plus, my buddy and I both only have daughters, but so adding satellite wi-fi & a couple of ductless heat pumps for the Summer made sense. My buddy and I even spruced up the locale with some new furnishings as well! Yea, I suppose dad would love hanging out here with her granddaughters.

Whole home air purification

Using the air purifier to clear the impurities in the air

I am one who knows what medical and health complications are having dealt with it all my life.

It began at a young age when my heartbeat was off as a child.

My parents had to use special equipment to monitor my heartbeat each night I slept. Once the problem was addressed, I was unlucky to suffer from kidney disease. This meant dealing with kidney stones as early as 16 I years since I had to go through it. We were looking to have kidney surgery by the time I was in my 20s as this would lessen the issue. As of now the only thing I am struggling with is my sinus and the respiratory cognition caused by the dust irritations. Since I live in a dusty region it is always hard to keep control of all the dust scattered everywhere. Fortunately for me, my purifiers can only do so much. These gadgets are always running 24 hours a day and it means the filters get clogged hastily. Regardless of the cost of the upgrade filters, I still need to continue using them all over the entire property because of the benefit they have towards my wellness especially with regard to allergy symptoms. I still take inhalers, nasal sprays and allergy medications especially in areas where I cannot control the dust. The impact on my sinus and allergies is felt most from the air purifier. I feel very comfortable and all of the contaminants in my area are getting pulled straight into the gadget. My home has about 5 separate air purifiers running at all times.

The value of a good dehumidifier

This property needs a lot of work that I sometimes think is not with it. I may not be in a position to handle all the financial obligations involved. Having moved here after inheriting my grandparents’ wooden farm house, I had my work cutout for me. My grandparents were using this property as a rental to make a little bit of extra income that supplemented their retirement earnings. Sadly not everyone cares about other people’s property like their own. This previous tenant left the farmhouse in a mess. I could not understand how people can rent a space like this and fail to care for it properly to the extent of not washing it. They even punched holes in the walls all over. Also surprising was the fact that when I took over the property from them there was so much to handle. In fact, it was in a state of chaos. It’s definitely going to be a lot of work for me to change things around or even upgrade the farmhouse into a modern abode for me to comfortably move in. One of the things to do first is to work on getting a new cooling system installed. The old central HVAC system in this property had worked for 2 decades. It needed to be upgraded to a new modern HVAC system. Afterwards, I chose to buy a dehumidifier to help manage the humidity inside the house. Having lived in a particularly humid environment and knowing how to cope with severe humidity in the Summer season, I knew a humidifier would work. With the dehumidifier running, the property would feel a lot more comfortable. It will also make sure the humidity gets to about 40%. I enjoy using dehumidifiers and cooling systems.

AC repair details can be devastating

Summer can be exciting to look forward to especially after a prolonged cold season.

This applies mostly to Northern dwellers since the region has harsh weather conditions that free most of the time, at least 7 months a year.

For such areas, Summer brings bright orange colors to any environment. I currently reside in the south which is a complete opposite with hotter days. By the time it’s Springtime we are already preparing to transition into summer. It comes with feelings of annoyance. This happens weeks before we reach the peak of the Summer season in June/September. I like hiking too much so no weather condition can hold me back. The outdoors even gets to 90 degrees. This means that I will still end up hiking even when it’s hot. It is very annoying especially when you sweat too much. That’s why it’s a great idea to get extra water every time you’re going on hiking sprees in the Summer. Right now I’m tired because it’s already mid-June and as it seems I’ll have to wait for not less than a week to get the cooling system repaired. The HVAC company informs me that they are so packed to take up any HVAC projects just yet. They have been booked for several weeks already. Thinking of how to survive in a scorching house is unbearable. It’s not like you can buy a temporary solution like you would do with a furnace repair. While heating systems cost an average of at least $24 the cooling units are not as affordable. In fact many window ACs and other portable air conditioners are not less than $305. It seems as though my only option is to wait until my turn comes.

Our apartments repairs are managed by the best managers

Living in apartment settings comes with its benefits and demerits.

Since my other option was to live in a dormitory for a few years, I chose a different residence which was an apartment.

But this is not always everyone’s choice as some of my friends that live in different housing settings are of a different opinion as to what is ideal. The lack of a backyard and garage are deal breakers for some. But then I love the fact that apartments have amenities that are lacking in many other homes. The only difference is when these homes have a pool or have provision for installing one.Otherwise, apartments offer convenience of choice as one can always move from one property to the next until they find what works for them. Additionally, an apartment complex like the one I live in does not only have a swimming pool but comes fitted with a gym too. To crown it all, in case anything goes wrong with your apartment the management steps in to sort it out immediately. The office will send the right expert to fix the issue once they get your call. They take off the stress of handling everything that you would otherwise have to be your responsibility. It doesn’t matter if you need something fixed quickly such as having the cooling system fixed. The manager responds quickly and will call the heating and cooling company who can either come the same day or early the next day. I am not sure this is what happens in all complexes, but at least my apartment building has such an arrangement of convenience. Unlike rental property where tenants are under agreement to take care of all repairs, apartment property owners handle this on their tenants behalf.

Cooling device repairs

Finally that day came and the HVAC rep arrived right on time as scheduled

There are a few things that I’ve postponed for a long time. The passing of my uncle recently has left me struggling with bad thoughts all through the day. My uncle and I were very close when I was a kid. He would go out of his way to make sure I was comfortable especially when we went to family parties. He was my father’s brother and he did his best to step up and fill the void dad left when he died. To some extent my uncle was a father figure for all my life. Even when mom remarried, my step dad only came in when I was already a teenager but my uncle was there from the word go. It is only natural that I struggle with the grief of my uncle’s death. Due to the pain and stress of this grieving process, I ended up not doing some of the things that were important. One of those things is getting my AC repaired in my house. It failed to cool the air as the equipment was underperforming. I forced myself to call the heating and cooling company who then set up a date when they sent me an HVAC professional to check my unit. Finally that day came and the HVAC rep arrived right on time as scheduled. He checked and ended up fixing the cooling system in less than an hour. I’m glad that the cooling system is currently working well and that I don’t have to keep worrying about procrastinating its repair any further as this delays the equipment’s working even more.

Attending an auction for a window AC find

Kids remember many things but mine was when we attended auction sales and garage sales with my parents.

We would go on bringing afternoons when the kids would be a few bucks to buy whatever they saw.

While my siblings focused on athletic stuff, I was more of a collector of unique finds such as action figures and speed toy cars. Garage sales and auctions had plenty of these. They ended up in such sales after families looked to dispose of them. Today, many years later, I changed to collecting more important things. My garage sales visits are slowly turning into an interesting event as I keep finding unique HVAC equipment. The last time I got a window cooling system at one of these garage sales as long as I kept looking. The fact that there are many such sales in this region makes it even easier for anyone to find something used at a good price. My neighborhood has a lot of these garage sales going on so they will be easy to I still go every weekend to one near me with the hopes that alI will lead to getting a window cooling unit that I am still looking for. It would be ideal for my pottery studio in the backyard of my house. This shed has a kiln so a window AC will help on those hot days that I must work in there. Temperature can spike and make it impossible to do any meaningful work. Sometimes they can get to highs of 76 degrees and this is not ideal especially in summer.
