When we first met online a few years ago, I didn’t realize that my husband lived so far up north. I mean, he actually lives so far north that they barely have any warm summer months there at all. The town where he grew up is freezing cold for about nine months out of the […]

Our A/C tore up when the weather started heating up
We have a lot of bad luck when it comes to our heating and cooling system in our house. I don’t know what the problem with it is, but for some reason, we just keep having issue after issue. Maybe we ended up buying a house with a lemon of an HVAC system. I haven’t […]
I always prefer to use a family owned HVAC company if possible
If it’s possible, I always prefer to use a family owned HVAC company to take care of my heating and cooling issues. I just think that family owned businesses do better than the larger corporate owned ones most of the time. I’m not sure why that is, but I have my suspicions that it’s because […]
You have to have the HVAC serviced twice a year
With our HVAC warranty, you have to have the HVAC system serviced by a heating and cooling professional at least twice. Not only that, but you have to use an HVAC company that is approved by the HVAC system’s parent company or it voids the warranty completely. It’s not something that I really paid all […]
I forgot to clean out around the exterior A/C unit
This year before we started using the air conditioning for the summer, I totally spaced out and forgot to clean out around the exterior A/C unit. Usually I make that a top priority every year whenever I start getting ready for the summer. Whenever the weather starts heating up outside, I start pulling out all […]
The huge window in our living room is not helping with the cooling bills
We have a really huge window in our living room, and unfortunately for us, it faces in a western direction. This means that the late afternoon and evening sun streams right through the window for hours each day and it starts heating up the house right after lunch and it doesn’t stop until the sun […]
I hate the way that I keep putting things off
I really annoy myself sometimes with the way that I am always putting things off. I am the world’s worst procrastinator for some reason. I’ve always been this way, too. It’s just an innate personality flaw, I think. I used to have this same problem back when I was a kid in school and I […]
My husband’s dad taught him to fix things
One of the things that I like the most about my husband is the way that he knows how to fix almost anything. It’s a real turn on, if you want to know the truth. I love a man who can take care of things around the house and who isn’t afraid to get his […]
We won a contest from an HVAC company
Earlier this year, my husband and I bought a raffle ticket from one of the little neighborhood boys who was selling them for his baseball team. They usually have a fundraiser sometime in the spring and we always try to support the team and buy tickets from them. It’s nice because the other parents in […]
You have to have a working A/C if you’re working from home
One thing that I have figured out over the past year is that if you’re going to be working from home, then you absolutely have to have a well working HVAC system. That’s something that I had to learn the hard way this summer when my air conditioning system went on the blink at my […]
