My partner wants to go through the hassle of getting radiant flooring
My partner has tastes that are odd from mine. My superb friend and I both grew up in families of odd cultures, plus that meant my friend and I both had odd meals on the supper table as youngsters. My partner comes from an Italian family while I come from a South African family. Well […]
Love having HVAC in the garage
I spent much of the Winter out in my garage. After finally dealing with that space, I’ve found that I love puttering around out there. The Spring is in full bloom down here and I’m already hearing the heat pumps kick on in the neighborhood. Air conditioning is already on the menu. Normally, I wouldn’t […]
A treehouse with air conditioning
It gets searingly hot here in the Summer Okay so maybe I went over the top on the tree house for my kid. But I loved every minute of it and I’m hanging out in the tree house as well. This might be odd to most folks and I guess I sort of get that. […]
New office gets ductless heat pumps
When I went out on my own, I wasn’t so interested in starting my business at home. I got a first hand and up close look at what working from the central air conditioning of home looked like during the pandemic. And it wasn’t great. However, that working remotely instead of inside the zone controlled […]
Heat pump has impressed this Winter

Being honest with myself about what I can and can’t do can be complicated. Too often, I don’t do something that I clearly could do with some training and experience. And then, I catch myself in over my head on other things that appeared to be no brainers. It’s a tricky thing really. When it […]
HVAC maintenance made all the difference
I’m not too far from getting new residential HVAC. In fact, that is happening in like 10 days. The old heat pump just doesn’t have another Summer heat season in it. Down here, the heat is brutal month after month during the Summer. Last July, I noted that the heat pump was running more and […]
Need the sunshine but thankful for HVAC
I remember reading about people moving to sunnier, drier climates for their health. But I think that was more about respiratory health than it was about emotional health. For me, I moved to improve my mental health. Living inside a house with a gas furnace running for like 5 months in a row played havoc […]
So impressed with whole home air purification
I’m actually not suffering this Spring. I’m not suffering from the deluge of pollen of from a stinky house. And I killed both those birds with one stone. All it took was an HVAC upgrade to make my life so much better. And I’m not the only one either. My wife is also so excited […]
