Don’t clean your own ducts – spiders

I know that everybody is looking to save a buck these days.

It’s obvious that none of us are in an amazing financial position after the past year of social unrest and uncertainty.

I think most of us are scraping by trying to pay our own bills and keep our family afloat. Unfortunately, this has led to a lot of mistakes around my household as we have attempted to be resourceful rather than wise. For me, a lot of the mistakes began when I started watching DIY videos on YouTube out of boredom. I decided that I could surely take on the same indoor appliance repairs as the men in the videos I was watching. I was incorrect. I managed to break our AC window unit to the first week that I was at home. Then, I tried to reset our thermostats temperature control settings to establish a more eco-friendly indoor air temperature control plan. Instead, I drove up our energy bills and put a lot of extra wear and tear on the entire heating, cooling, and ventilation system. After our indoor air handling devices were suffering from my prior attempts to fix them I stupidly decided that I could handle the professional ductwork cleaning that was recommended by all of the DIY HVAC videos. I got our vacuum cleaner out, a flashlight in hand, and popped the air vents off of our ductwork. I got a few moments into the ductwork cleaning project when I made a horrible discovery… Spiders. If you didn’t know, apparently your ductwork is an amazing place for arachnids to take residence. As I stumbled upon the spider nest in the air ductwork, I went flying out of the air vent and managed to smack my head against our coffee table. Now we’re working on a new repair… My broken collarbone.

Can’t imagine the energy bills – largest house ever

When I was a little kid I genuinely thought that it was within my wheelhouse to live in a massive fancy house someday.

I expected that I would be returning home to a mini mansion, with all of the coolest gadgets and high-tech living solutions that you could imagine.

I really thought that I was going to be successful, wealthy, and living in a fancy lifestyle some day. Then… I got older and realize that these things are not so easily attainable. Besides, I’m not sure if I would want such a massive house. I started realizing how expensive it was to use a heating, cooling, and air quality control system in a normal sized house, for starters. It’s extremely expensive to use indoor air temperature control units on a regular basis each day. Not only is the energy bill rather high every month living in my conservatively sized house, but the wear and tear on my heating, cooling, and air quality control devices is ridiculous. I feel like I am constantly calling the local heating, cooling, and air quality control dealership for professional maintenance services & repair expenses. Then I started thinking about how much more expensive it would be living in a bigger house with a bigger heating and cooling system. If you were trying to control the indoor air temperature and air quality for a much larger volume of indoor air, I can’t imagine how ridiculous the heating, cooling, and ventilation costs could be. You probably need a commercial heating and cooling system just to keep up with the increased demand. Then, your energy bills and HVAC technician expenses must be astronomical. Maybe it’s best that I don’t make enough money to live in a big house.

Benefits of HVAC tech for friend – free installation

I regularly need to upgrade my indoor air handling devices and repair my stupid temperature control system.

I really enjoy my little friend group. We have had a lot of ups and downs together throughout the years, but we always come back together as a cohesive group. In the end, I know that they always have my back and I will always have theirs. This makes it a lot easier to go through life with a dedicated support system that you can rely on. It also helps that many of my friends are highly skilled in professional trades. For instance, my friend Pete is a professional heating, cooling, and air quality control repair shop owner. He got his indoor air quality control certification directly out of high school after taking his heating, cooling, and ventilation repair courses concurrent with his schooling. He quickly began working as a professional HVAC technician in town and made great money. It was only a few years later that he opened his own indoor air temperature control repair dealership. Ever since then, my friend Pete has been a major help in my plight to live like an adult. If you aren’t familiar with adulthood, it’s expensive. This is especially true when you have a broken down heating, cooling, and air quality control system in your house. I regularly need to upgrade my indoor air handling devices and repair my stupid temperature control system. This is where Pete and his fleet of HVAC technicians really help me out. He has provided so many free installation services on my new HVAC equipment that I would probably be in the poorhouse without him. If I didn’t have Pete and his HVAC expertise, I might be living in a box by now. My friends rule.

Once the competition heats up, prices go down

I have lived in this town long enough to see the entire environment change.

When I first moved here it was a tiny, sparsely populated little village that most people had not heard of.

Within a few years, however, the entire area started developing. They built two new stores and subdivisions all around the city and my town began to explode with a new population. Now, I wasn’t extremely excited about all of these changes at first because it became more difficult to navigate the village through traffic. However, I am happy about how the heating, cooling, and air quality control industry has changed. Since the population increased, so has the number of air quality control dealerships in the area. Because there are more houses requiring more central heating, cooling, and air quality control solutions, there are now new businesses present to deliver the indoor air temperature control solutions that are necessary. With the number of indoor heating, cooling, and air quality control repair shops increasing, this means that the routine maintenance, service, and repair prices have been decreasing. Suddenly, there is enough competition in the heating and cooling industry for decreasing rates on required indoor air quality control solutions. I have been very happy with my heating and cooling system ever since it became very affordable to make routine maintenance and service appointments. My indoor air quality has never been better than it is now and my bank account has not felt this happy in a long time. With my lower energy bills and higher indoor air quality, I think I will be staying here for a while.

Asked for an HVAC technician recommendation – he was an idiot

I can admit that I have trouble making decisions sometimes.

I get very overwhelmed with all of the potential outcomes of every single choice and I start to spin in circles.

I don’t do a good job of making up my mind and sticking to my guns. Instead, I waver back and forth between all the potential options and eventually drive myself insane until I finally give up and just randomly choose one. This is exactly what happened the last time my furnace needed a professional upgrade. I knew that my heating system was on the way out but I couldn’t make any decisions about hiring a heating, cooling, and air quality control repair dealership or which model of indoor heating device I would want to purchase. In the end, I waited until my furnace broke down and then made a rushed decision to hire my HVAC technician and replace the heating system. That’s why I decided to ask around for opinions regarding the best indoor air quality control dealership in town before I made the same mistake again. I asked everybody that I worked with for an HVAC technician recommendation and I promptly took the first answers that I received. Unfortunately, when the indoor air temperature control specialist arrived at my house, I was less than impressed. The HVAC worker didn’t seem to know what I was talking about when I asked specific questions about air quality control and Energy Efficiency. He seemed confused when he was looking at my air conditioning unit. In the end, my HVAC system was in worse shape when he left, and so was my decision-laden head. Who recommended this idiot again?

Fate, HVAC tech chatted with me at bar

For most of my adult life I believed that everything happened by accident.

It seemed like life was a long series of coincidences and unplanned events that nobody could have ever foreseen. I guess that’s what you start to think when your life is regularly tumultuous and difficult. However, at a certain point I started to warm myself up to the idea of a larger power pulling some of the puppet strings. To this day, I believe in the universe. Especially when things happened to me, such as finding the best heating, cooling, and air quality control technician in town exactly when I need him. You see, I have been living on a very tight budget for the past several years, which means my heating, cooling, and air quality control system has been widely neglected. I have not had the extra money for my forced air furnace or air conditioning unit to be professionally inspected, diagnosed, or repaired. Instead, I have been waiting for some magical day when the universe provided me with extra funds to tackle my air quality issues and reduce my energy bills. Unfortunately, the universe didn’t provide … my air conditioning unit broke down in the middle of the summer last year. I was honestly so stressed out and overheated without any air conditioning in the house that I decided to go out for a drink that night. I sat down at the local bar and ordered a cool brew to chill myself down. Just then, the stranger next to me struck up a conversation. When he asked why I was drinking alone, I told him about my HVAC system. It took about two hours before he revealed that he was a professional heating, cooling, and air quality control specialist. He helped me repair my air conditioning unit for free the very next day.

Need advanced air filtration for smelly dog

I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember.

There has never been a point in my life when I have not been surrounded by pets and furry creatures.

I absolutely love having animal friends to take care of and to spend my time with. That being said, everybody has to draw the line somewhere. As much as I enjoy all walks of life… They do need to be somewhat clean and capable of living indoors if I’m going to continue feeling jovial about them. This is why I have a problem with my boyfriend’s smelly new dog. Every time the beast comes inside, our indoor air quality rapidly decreases. This dog is always tracking in mud, dirt, and dust. All of the filth is rapidly sucked up into our central heating, cooling, and ventilation system and evenly dispersed throughout the house thanks to our extensive air duct work. On top of that, the dog is particularly smelly no matter how many times we bathe him. He stinks up the house the moment that he walks in the door and his putrid dander starts floating through our breathing air. At this point, I don’t know what might be growing inside of our central heating, cooling, and air quality control system. I assume that he has completely contaminated our heating and cooling units with whatever bacteria causes his horrible smell. I keep telling my boyfriend that we need to upgrade the HVAC system if we’re going to keep the dog. We probably need HEPA air filters and air purification devices just to undo the damage of this especially stinky animal.

AC was on the fritz; I left the ceremony

Some people might say that I am an extremely particular and rigid sort of person.

I don’t happen to agree with their assessment, but I can admit that there are several things that I refuse to compromise on.

When we go out for drinks or dinner together, everyone is paying their own bill. When we decide to plan a vacation together, I want to be the person in charge of the reservations. And when we agree to go somewhere in public, I insist that they have working indoor air handling devices. I know, this last one shouldn’t seem like much of a problem. What public space does not have a working heating and cooling unit? Well, you would be surprised. Last year my cousin decided to get married in a large and fancy venue. From the moment that I arrived at the wedding ceremony I felt like the indoor air temperature was not right. It was not cool and fresh indoors as you would expect in the middle of summer with a commercial grade air conditioning system on your side. Surely, the fancy event space had a massive cooling system installed to keep the indoor air quality under control. Well… Not that day. Apparently, the central HVAC system had broken down the night before the wedding ceremony. While we waited for the ceremony to begin I was sweating in my seats, staring at the overhead ventilation units and waiting for a cool breeze to save me from the sweltering heat. Unfortunately, the air-conditioning God’s never answered my prayers. I waited long enough for the bride and groom to say I do… And then I skedaddled right out of there. Sorry to ruin your wedding, but your lack of AC was really ruining my suit.

 

Residential heat and AC

HVAC or me!

The older I get, the more I realize that my past ideas about relationships were completely messed up.

When I was growing up I absolutely had no idea how human interactions were supposed to work in a healthy fashion.

I only saw unhealthy relationships as I was making my way through childhood. As a result, I wound up in a lot of social associations that were unevenly balanced and negatively skewed. Unfortunately, one of those relationships included an unfair ultimatum that I provided to my boyfriend. He was always rather flippant with our indoor air quality when we were living together. The thermostat never seems to concern him in the least. When we had a nice cold today outside he was happy living without any indoor heat. When it was swelteringly hot and humid, he didn’t really care if the air conditioner was working or not. On top of that, he never thought it was worthwhile to pay for Professional heating, cooling, and ventilation services for the failing forced air furnace and air conditioning unit. If we ever did he use the indoor air handling devices we had to suffer from high energy bills and dirty indoor air, anyways. The house always felt dirty and unclean when our breathing air was passing through the unmanaged central heating and cooling system. I tried many times to motivate him to budget for a professional heating, cooling, and air quality control appointment. However, he refused to help me scrape together the funds for a routine air quality control maintenance service. Eventually, the indoor air quality became such a problem that I gave him a brutal ultimatum – fix the HVAC system or lose our relationship. I was single the next week.

Horoscope said expect obstacles

Of course, the crucial residential cooling system was not blowing out any chilly air when I started trying to troubleshoot it.When I attempted to call my local heating, cooling, plus ventilation worker, nobody would option up the phone

I’m one of those people who checks my horoscope every day. I constantly like to check my astrology apps plus see what the coming hours have in store for me. You would be shocked to find out how several times it is dead on. Recently, I knew that I needed to buckle in for a difficult time when my horoscope told me that non-stop obstacles were going to be thrown my way… Of course, this was horrible news to acquire plus it made my stomach knot with anxiety; Luckily, I didn’t have to wait long for the first obstacle to emerge – it was my heating, cooling, plus air quality control system. Almost as soon as I finished learning my horoscope I felt a unusual change in my indoor air quality. It seemed like there was no longer fresh, high-quality indoor air passing through the air vent over my head. I went to my thermostat plus made sure that the indoor air quality control settings had not been changed. Sure enough, everything looked appropriate on the temperature control device. That’s when I decided to go investigate my cooling system unit. Of course, the crucial residential cooling system was not blowing out any chilly air when I started trying to troubleshoot it.When I attempted to call my local heating, cooling, plus ventilation worker, nobody would option up the phone. I wound up calling a weird heating plus cooling maintenance repair out of desperation. When that Heating plus A/C worker arrived, he managed to cut my cooling system system even further, now, I have no working A/C plus I still cannot get a hold of my favorite Heating plus A/C worker. I know my horoscope said to expect obstacles, but this is ridiculous.
