I Got a Ductless Mini System For My Son’s Room

I hated that my son was too hot to sleep through the night, so I invested in a ductless mini system.

My son has been complaining about being too hot in the middle of the night. His father is a warm sleeper too, so I know he’s not exaggerating when he complains. We have central heat, which means the air is pushed through the air vents throughout the house. He has one air vent in his room, so I know there isn’t an abundance of air flowing through. I tried moving his bed to the opposite side of the room from the air vent, but he still complains. I don’t want to change our thermostat settings either, because nobody else in our family has an issue with the heat. If anything, we all sleep on the colder side. I even tried putting a fan in his room, but he still doesn’t think it’s cool enough. According to him, the fan only pushes the warm air around and he doesn’t like the fan blowing on him directly. After several months of trying cheap air options, I decided to do something more extreme. I hated that my son was too hot to sleep through the night, so I invested in a ductless mini system. I had an HVAC professional install it on the wall facing his bed and had him show my son how to control it. The ductless mini system was perfect for my son because he could cool his room without affecting the rest of the house. I’ve noticed a positive difference in the way my son acts now, because I know he’s getting more sleep due to his ductless mini system.

The Department of Energy Said 78 Degrees Was The Perfect Temperature

I was dreading running my air conditioner with the warmer weather coming.

During the previous summer, my utility bills were really high and it was miserable.

I dreaded getting the monthly statement in the mail. I felt like I was working just to pay off my AC usage, which is no way to live. I was determined to make things different this summer. I have a month before I expect to turn on my air conditioner, but I started researching ways to save money during the summer months anyway. I wanted to be prepared. During my research, I found an interesting article from the Department of Energy and it stated that there was a perfect number for your thermostat in the summer. This intrigued me! The article said that 78 degrees was the perfect temperature when you were at home. I saw this number and I was shocked. 78 degrees was really high, especially in the summer. I normally set my thermostat to 70 degrees, so 78 degrees seemed really hot. The article suggested turning the temperature up one degree gradually so it wasn’t so drastic. I considered this suggestion, but I still thought I’d be too warm. I already knew I’d never be able to set my thermostat to 78 degrees during the summer, but I decided to try and raise the temperature higher than 70 degrees. I was bound to save a little money, just maybe not as much as if I’d set the thermostat to 78 degrees.

My Dad Sneaks Into My House to Service My HVAC System

He has no idea that I can see him on the security cameras through my phone

When I moved into my current house, my dad told me that he’d help me with my HVAC system a few times per year. I was adamant that he let me pay for an HVAC professional to service my HVAC system just like any other homeowner though. My dad worked hard and I knew he didn’t have the spare time to come to my house when I could pay an HVAC professional to do it. A few months after I moved in, I went to work like any other day. Around lunchtime, I got a notification on my phone that there was motion in my house. I panicked, thinking I was getting robbed! When I looked at the security cameras on my phone though, I realized it was just my dad. He’d snuck into my house with the spare key and was walking around with his tools. It didn’t take me long to realize that my dad was there to service my HVAC system. He knew I’d tell him no, so he went and did it behind my back. I contemplated saying something to him, but I decided against it. I’ve been living in this house for 4 years now and my dad is still “sneaking” into my house to service my HVAC system. He has no idea that I can see him on the security cameras through my phone. I let him do it though, because I love that he wants to help. I wonder what he’s going to do if there’s ever an issue with my HVAC system? I wonder if he’ll tell me.

I’m Secretly Happy My Brother’s HVAC System Broke

I’ve been telling my brother that he needs to have his HVAC system serviced by an HVAC professional for years. He didn’t even know how old his HVAC equipment was when he first moved into his house, so I had to look it up for him. I went outside and scoured the outside unit for the manufacturer date. Thankfully, the HVAC system was only 4 years old and it didn’t sound like it was in desperate need of attention. Ever since he moved in, I’ve been hounding my brother about hiring an HVAC professional to replace the air filter and examine the equipment. He’s super stubborn and irresponsible though, so he’s always ignored me. I think he’s replaced his air filter before, because I don’t know how his HVAC system would run without a clean replacement. I gave up telling my brother about HVAC maintenance a year ago because there was no use wasting my breath. Unfortunately, I realized that he’d have to learn the hard way. Last week, my brother’s HVAC system shut down completely and wouldn’t even turn on. He’d basically ran it into the ground and had to hire an emergency HVAC professional, only to realize there was no saving it. If he wanted heat and air again, he’d have to purchase a brand new HVAC system, which would cost him thousands. I’m secretly happy that his HVAC system needs replaced because he ignored all my warnings. Maybe now he’ll listen to me and understand the importance of HVAC maintenance.

Could it be an HVAC system repair issue ?

I could no longer rest the stench in my house.

The fact that I had cleaned it thoroughly the past week and nothing changed irritated me more.

I shared my frustrations with my sibling Naomi and she requested hiring professional cleaners. Mom overheard our conversation and was curious about the source of the stink. She asked me to trace it before I could take action. While the foul stink was all over the house, it was strongest near the indoor HVAC equipment. I told mom my findings and she proposed that I call a professional first before I could hire extravagant cleaners, reluctantly, I dialed the contractor number on my fridge and the company sent a team of three. Nothing could have prepared me for the reality of the situation in my home. It turns out that the system had numerous complications that were causing the terrible stinks. First, there was a lot of mold forming in the blocked drain pan. Every time I turned the air conditioner off, the moldy stink would travel into the house. Besides that, there was the issue of that rotten-egg stink. The HVAC professionals suspected a leaking gas that was finding its ways into the air conditioning. They were entirely cheerful that I had noticed it in fantastic time as this could undoubtedly be disastrous. They drained and unblocked the drain pan. They also cleaned and disinfected the section to prevent continued mold growth. The experts asked me to switch off all the gas sources in the house and contact the gas company immediately. Once they traced and fixed the leak, then everything would go back to normal. They promised to come back for further HVAC repair and cleaning once the gas leak was sorted out.

Dead rodent in my HVAC system

I had been away on a work trip for three weeks.

  • The trip was sudden so I wasn’t able to make any prior arrangements.

Fortunately, I had no pets and the HVAC system in my house could be operated smartly so I wasn’t nervous. I packed my container and left for the trip. It had been two mornings since I came back and I could not help but notice peculiar noises coming from the indoor HVAC unit. It seemed as though something was stuck in there and the squealing was proof of this. However, the noises subsided and I didnt hear it again three mornings later. However, this was replaced by a foul stench that was strong at the same location. Should I call a contractor, if it is serious? However, I decided to check it out first and that is when I discovered a dead rodent in there. I contemplated on getting it out myself but decided to call the HVAC contractor that services my unit first. After all, the HVAC repair was due in a few mornings. I requested if they could send a worker earlier since I had a situation that needed urgent attention. Fortunately, the HVAC company agreed and the HVAC professional was at my doorstep in three hours. He quickly got down to work and pulled out the rotting rat. After cleaning the vents, he went on to clean and get rid of any potential bugs that could be stuck in there. I learned that it was a matter of time and my indoor air quality would be compromised and potentially lead to diseases. For the first time I was glad I had followed my instincts and reacted promptly.

Solar HVAC units – are they entirely worth it?

Nelly had everything fantastic to say about the solar heating and cooling unit she recently installed in her house.

She had tested it for5 months now and she could help but brag about the money she had saved without compromising the comfort of her home.

The rest of us in the group had been skeptical about having a new HVAC system, especially since it was solar powered. I remember the team promoting the solar HVAC units had approached us for a free trial stage but we had all declined the offer, except for Nelly. It turns out we had missed out on the greatest occasion to save and cherish optimal comfort. It turns out that the solar HVAC device was more reliable than my buddy and I had imagined. According to Nelly, she had not encountered any hurdles both in heating and cooling. She said that this was the system with the least repair needs. Her greatest win was that she no longer paid exorbitant electric bills as the solar HVAC system upgraded for all the heating and cooling she needed. In fact, the certain unit she got has the latest technology in the HVAC industry meaning that it is highly efficient. The only thing Nelly thought was important for anyone interested in getting the solar HVAC unit was the space needs. It occupies a sizable amount of space and this should be factored in. Since our section was largely sunny and hot, weather change would not be a major challenge. At this point, most of us were exploring the possibilities of shifting to the solar HVAC unit. It would especially be fantastic for me and my family since we were thinking of living off the grid. This sounded like the perfect solution for us.

Installing radiant heating in my mom’s house

My siblings and I had been talking about upgrading mom’s house one step at a time.

Knowing how stubborn mom was, there was no way we would be consulting her.

She often thought of pretty much everyone else’s comfort but her own. Since dad passed away, mom was overwhelmed and she hardly paid attention to her house like she used to. It was clear that she lacked the motivation to do the things she would have done to make dad comfortable. My siblings and brothers were all happy at the prospect of working on the HVAC system. This has been a major problem since our last visit a few months ago. We all noticed how mom’s house was colder than normal. When I brought it up, she quickly dismissed it as a momentary hitch that would be sorted the next week by her HVA worker. A few weeks passed and my sibling reported that the situation had not changed while in her recent visit. She had entirely called in an HVAC professional to assess the situation when mom was away running errands. Things were worse than mom was telling us. The old HVAC system was splitting down officially even with constant heart repairs. The HVAC expert proposed getting a new HVAC device installed as the one currently running had outdone its lifespan; No amount of repairs would make it more efficient. Since winter was around the corner, my siblings and I decided to surprise mom with a new heating system. We convinced her to visit our elder sibling Sarah for two weeks as we got the HVAC contractor and his team in to install a new radiant heating system. The idea of having radiant floors was exciting for us. We knew mom would cherish it more.
