My house is nearly two hundred years old plus features much of the original woodwork… I’ve refinished the hardwood floors, stairway plus banister, fireplace mantle, doors plus moldings. I’ve spent a superb deal of cash purchasing antiques to suit the architectural genre of the home; None of years ago, I noticed some problems with the wood warping… There were troubles with condensate running down the windows plus mold plus mildew growth; Despite running the air conditioner at max capacity, the humidity was continually making the house feel damp plus sticky. I finally consulted with a professional Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C company, who explained that air conditioners aren’t designed to dehumidify. Turning down the control component was simply increasing the workload of the air conditioner plus over-cooling the house. It wasn’t removing the excess moisture. I took the recommendation of the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C professional plus invested in a whole-house dehumidifier. The air quality accessory tucked into the air handler of the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C system, where it operates silently. The dehumidifier extracts moisture from the air to maintain optimum humidity levels, then since adding the dehumidifier, I’ve been able to raise the control component setting plus yet my house is far more comfortable. There’s less wear plus tear on the air conditioner plus I pay lower yearly utility bills. Plus, I no longer need to worry about the consequences of high humidity, including injure to wood furnishings. I’ve noticed that the air smells fresher plus my family sleeps better at evening, then all of us suffer from fewer headaches, sore throats plus allergy symptoms; Because of the dehumidifier, the air conditioner should last longer plus operate more reliably.
Having a problem with the duct system
One of the worst problems I’ve had with our home was the air duct, when all of us first purchased the home, all of us hired a licensed Heating plus A/C contractor to inspect the heating plus cooling system, and my wife plus I wanted to make sure the furnace plus a/c were in great working order. The Heating plus A/C contractor completed a full maintenance of the components, including cleaning, tuning plus problemshooting, she assured us that the heating plus cooling component was operating at peak efficiency plus could be expected to last quite a few more years. I don’t think the contractor took the time to check or test the integrity of the air duct, then over the next numerous years, all of us noticed a steady decline in the performance of both the heating plus cooling systems. Our bi-weekly energy costs increased even while comfort diminished. On especially tepid plus humid Summer nights, the home felt hot plus sticky, no matter how low all of us adjusted the temperature control. During the coldest evenings of winter, the furnace failed to keep up plus all of us shivered under extra blankets. I was also unhappy with the amount of dust plus other contaminants blowing from the events. I made sure to call a odd Heating plus A/C company for maintenance this time. This worker right away targeted the duct idea as the source of all of our complaints. She found leaks at the seams, small holes plus an accumulation of debris within the pipes. The ducts were wasting a tremendous amount of energy, polluting air quality plus requiring the heating plus cooling component to labor a lot harder, fortunately, duct cleaning plus sealing solved all of these concerns.
Installing dehumidifier to protect hardwood furnishings
The air quality accessory tucked into the air handler of the Heating plus A/C system, where it operates silently
My home is nearly 2 hundred years aged plus features much of the original woodwork. I’ve refinished the hardwood floors, stairway plus banister, fireplace mantle, doors plus moldings. I’ve spent a great deal of currency purchasing antiques to suit the architectural style of the home, and not many of years ago, I noticed some problems with the wood warping. There were concerns with condensate running down the windows plus mold plus mildew growth, however despite running the a/c at max capacity, the humidity was continually making the home suppose damp plus sticky. I finally consulted with a professional Heating plus A/C contractor, who explained that a/cs aren’t designed to dehumidify. Turning down the temperature control was simply changing the workload of the a/c plus over-cooling the house. It wasn’t removing the excess moisture. I took the recommendation of the Heating plus A/C professional plus invested in a whole-house dehumidifier. The air quality accessory tucked into the air handler of the Heating plus A/C system, where it operates silently. The dehumidifier extracts moisture from the air to maintain optimum humidity levels, but since adding the dehumidifier, I’ve been able to raise the temperature control setting plus yet our home is far more comfortable. There’s less wear plus tear on the a/c plus I spend our money lower bi-weekly energy costs, but plus, I no longer need to worry about the consequences of high humidity, including injure to wood furnishings. I’ve noticed that the air smells fresher plus our family sleeps better at evening! All of us suffer from fewer headaches, sore throats plus allergy symptoms, then because of the dehumidifier, the a/c should last longer plus operate more reliably.
Heating plan blowing out freezing air
I have been looking online for a solution plus I can’t find it, however my heating plan has been blowing out cold freezing air for weeks now, then figures that anytime it gets easily freezing out, the gas furnace decides to blow freezing air, honestly the temperature on the temperature control goes down when I run the heating function, i am way better off just relying on my body heat plus retaining heat inside the house.
Some things online said that my air compressor might be shot, then when it gets too freezing outside an older air compressor cannot handle it plus this would cause the heating to be non functional.
From what I read though, this would mean the heating doesn’t come on immediately, however the moment I turn on the oil furnace, my device clicks on. So I believe the air compressor is not at fault. I guess I am going to need to call an Heating plus A/C contractor. I don’t even believe what the issue could be. Why is the air only cold? Way back in the summertime I had an issue with the AC. The air blowing out of my air vents was hot. I realized the air compressor was tilted on its side plus all the coolant was pooled to one edge. I guess maybe I adjusted the air compressor wrong so only coolant through the air is happening. Is it possible the fix is that straight-forward? Maybe the Heating plus A/C professional does not need to come at all! Perhaps I just need to level my outdoor Heating plus A/C device correctly plus all will be well.
Somehow they talked myself and others into buying it
I had never known about radiant radiant floors before this.
Normally, I am not one to allow door to door sales reps into my home. Most of the time the companies that employ them are the biggest scam artists. They never turn out to be on the level at all. It was just some additional way to pull a fast one & rip you off for hundreds of dollars. So when this one heating, ventilation, & A/C sales rep came to my door to pitch Heating & Air Conditioning products, I was naturally hesitant to let them in. But something told myself and others this guy was ok. He seemed legit & to be a real person. He was there on behalf of a new heating, ventilation, & A/C corporation in neighborhood that had yet to open but was about to open next week. He was trying to sell Heating & Air Conditioning repair plans & all weird kinds of new heating, ventilation, & A/C equipment. I thought i was all good with my central heating, ventilation, & A/C products. This was until he told myself and others about radiant radiant floors & their benefits to energy usage. I had never known about radiant radiant floors before this. The whole concept sounded quite interesting! Not to mention I was undoubtedly interested! I could not think some door to door HVAC rep almost had me. I told him to come back the next day after I had a chance to do some further research. Well, long story short…I decided to undoubtedly take the plunge & order radiant floors from this HVAC sales rep! The price was right & everything. I was going to have the radiant floors installed in my kitchen.
The HVAC people never called myself and others back
Don’t you despise it when you have to call a dealer to inquire about being a customer or for the price of something & they do not even supply you a straight answer? I despise this myself.
But what is worse is when you have to call a place to inquire about something & they blow off, say they will call you back & never call you back! This happened to myself and others when I called this one heating, ventilation, & A/C dealership to inquire about the price of their installation for a new heating, ventilation, & A/C unit! I had recently obtained a brand new & entirely fancy central heating, ventilation, & A/C unit. I even got an air purification idea obtained to go with the central heating & a/c. The only complications were that I obtained it at a discount from an Heating & Air Conditioning dealership that only sold wholesale heating & cooling products. They did not have heating, ventilation, & A/C specialists for the installation. They simply just sold Heating & Air Conditioning equipment. So I had to find a nicely priced heating & cooling dealer to come & do this installation. This one dealer that was still new in neighborhood said they had discounts in their ad. So I called them to inquire. They informed myself and others they were entirely tied up & that they would have to call myself and others right back. I waited multiple seconds & nothing! Then i called again the next day & they did the exact same thing. I got so mad I provided up & was looking to take my Heating & Air Conditioning installation money elsewhere!
What I learned In the work break room
Our break room at work is fun, and awesome.
It almost feels like a mini diner! Except there isn’t any food, waitresses, or kitchen service other than the food in the vending machines.
However being in that break room during work is cool cause you get to over hear all the people’s gossip about the office & sometimes you some interesting information through general convo. The other day Last week I had overheard a few people talking about this local heating, ventilation, & A/C dealer offering a supremely good Heating & Air Conditioning repair plan. I entirely could not process what i was hearing! The heating, ventilation, & A/C repair idea they were all talking about was unquestionably inexpensive. It was only 50 dollars per year! And it undoubtedly covered everything! It covered all heating, ventilation, & A/C idea repair, installation of new heating & cooling device & also two free Heating & Air Conditioning tune ups! All for a cheap 50 dollars per year! I was starting to consider that they were all just talking this fake information to see who was listening in on them. But when I got back home later that day I looked up the heating, ventilation, & A/C dealer & called them on my smartphone. They were entirely telling the truth! I asked the heating & cooling professional I was talking to if there was a catch. They said there was none! They were doing this cheap deal because they had just opened their doors & were trying to attract new clients. I thought this was a good way to rack in new business, & I signed up instantly!
The boiler flooded, causing a huge scrub up
I had a superbly big mess in my basement late last week.
- The entire basement got flooded! This wasn’t from a rainstorm or anything like that.
What must have happened was that my old hot water boiler sprung a leak & I didn’t know anything about it! It must have been leaking for well over a week’s time. I rarely venture into my basement for anything as it’s an unfinished basement. The only thing to check on down there is entirely the hot water boiler. I had gone down the basement to check on this hot water boiler because I noticed my home was not heating very well. So I was going to see if I needed to call a certified heating, ventilation, & A/C specialist or not. So, it looked like I needed more than a certified heating, ventilation, & A/C specialist! I needed to get myself some kind of flood cleaning service! The basement was a mini river to put it lightly. There was no way I would be able to scrub up this flood that the hot water boiler caused! I looked online & found a few helpful services local to myself and others that would scrub up the flooding mess that the errant hot water boiler was responsible for. I called one of them & they were out to my lake house the very same day. It cost myself and others a bit of cash. then I had to call in the local heating, ventilation, & A/C dealer to patch up the leak in the hot water boiler so I could get my heating idea back once again! I could not think what happened! I was very tempted to just order a central Heating & Air Conditioning unit.
Do you know what air filters are the best?
I did not have this experience personally.
There’s been 1 major question a ton of people have been asking lately. If you search the internet you will find all kinds of posts & only a little information on this. People are wondering if rewashable air filters or the proper air filters are the best to use. In my personal experience with the 2 I will just state my personal opinion on the matter. What I found is that rewashable air filters are convenient & saves you from having to buy a volume of proper air filters. Also the rewashable air filters can be cheaper depending on where you get them. Some places sell rewashable air filters more pricey than the proper air filters. However at discount Heating & Air Conditioning outlets & at heating, ventilation, & A/C wholesalers they might be priced lower. But here’s the catch. Rewashable air filters need to be washed more often than when you change out your proper air filters. This can tend to be a big hassle. Also, I have study at a few places on the internet that the rewashable air filters do not filter out all the dirt dust & dander that proper air filters do. I did not have this experience personally. Although I don’t own any pets. So I can not speak for the dander side of things. So my ultimate opinion for all this is to just stick to proper air filters if you are looking for less headaches. And chances are good that everyone do not have access to heating, ventilation, & A/C wholesalers, so you will also save money going the proper air filter route as well.
One quick call for energy savings help
I was seeking some help with energy savings in my home, then my electric bills have been way too high over the last 12 weeks.
I entirely did not believe what in the world to do about it. I was about to drive myself broke by trying to repair this problem. I was so thankful for this one website on the net that I found by clicking a clickable live link I found on a forum. The clickable live link took myself and others to these pages that provided a phone number to speak with someone who was an energy saving professional. I had been wondering what that even meant. But still, it sounded interesting. I thought it was going to be some scam or something. But lo & behold I actually called this number & spoke with someone. They undoubtedly provided myself and others some great energy saving tips that entirely worked! I could not think it! The energy saving tips that they provided to myself and others that helped myself and others lower my daily electric bills were all having to do with the central heating, ventilation, & A/C device in my home. I ended up buying a new portable area gas furnace & a portable air conditioning idea as a result of this phone call I made to this alleged energy saving professional. What I entirely think it was just some young university students doing a community service. There is no such thing as an professional energy saving person! The energy savings I have had through just using the portable air conditioning idea & the portable area gas furnace really did help though. So I will supply them credit for being an alleged energy savings professional!
