Why I installed a dehumidifier in our Air Conditioning system

When I moved to a warmer environment, 1 of the 1st things I noticed was the humidity. Too much humidity inside of a home or apartment can make it hard to breathe, plus making it easier for viruses to spread in your home! Excessive humidity inside your Heating plus Air Conditioning system means that it is a lot easier for molds and mildews to develop within your system, further contaminating the air inside your house. Sleeping in a closed room with excess humidity can be quite harmful to your skin as well, too much humidity can leave your skin oily and dirty overnight, and you wake up with blemishes or acne in the morning. Excess humidity in your house can also be quite terrible for your house itself. When wood and other materials in your home get too humid, they are likely to warp and bend, potentially causing lots of mangle to the structure of your home. There are several major types of dehumidifiers for your home. The first kind are portable, standalone dehumidifiers. These do a good job to detach the humidity out of 1 room. They are generally the more affordable option, however they are not at all effective at dehumidifying your whole house, then dehumidifiers can also be installed inside your Heating plus Air Conditioning system, removing the humidity from the air in your home as it circulates through your a/c. Since I installed a dehumidifier in our Heating plus Air Conditioning system, I have been breathing easier, our flu symptoms have appeared less, and I have confidence that humidity is not wreaking total havoc on the wood in our home. Talk to your local Heating plus Air Conditioning provider soon to see what kind of dehumidifier is right for your home.

Why I installed a new smart thermostat with zone control in our refurbished home.

When our partner Jen and I purchased our home over 8 years ago, both of us knew that both of us would be making renovations in order for it to be as energy efficient as possible.

  • Jen and I installed double panes in the windows, LED lighting, ceiling fans, and also both of us installed a smart thermostat with zone control.

Our new smart thermostat is hooked up to wireless data and can be controlled through the app on your iphone, pc, or tablet. A smart thermostat is programmable so that we can set your a/c to run when we need it, and leave it off when you don’t. The ability to control the Heating plus Air Conditioning system from anywhere is good because we will no longer leave the a/c on when we leave the home, and if our schedule is consistent, we can have our a/c turn on and off automatically according to our family’s needs… Zone control functionality brings the ability to fully program your a/c to only operate in the room or rooms of your choosing at any given time! Valves located in the air duct open and close according to the setting, meaning that your Heating plus Air Conditioning system won’t have to job as hard to heat the whole house if it’s not needed, saving your system from now working too strenuously and therefore saving you hundreds on your utility bills. A smart thermostat with zone control is a great update to any home, and can usually be installed with minimal change to the existing Heating plus Air Conditioning system, making it a smart investment to any home, current or old, especially if you want to increase the efficiency of your heating and a/c.

Why is our a/c blasting hot air?

One of the more frustrating things in the world is when you turn on the a/c on a hot day in the dead of summer, only to be blasted by warm, stale air coming from your a/c vents.

Having hot air blasting from your a/c can be uncomfortable, even preventing some people from being able to sleep through the night.

One of the reasons your a/c might be blowing hot air is your air filter. Air conditioner air filters can become obstructed over time with dander, dust and debris, and if the blockage becomes too thick, it can prevent your a/c from respectfully circulating and cooling the air in your home. Most Heating plus Air Conditioning professionals request changing your air filter every 3 to 6 months, especially if you have pets. Another reason your a/c could be blowing hot air is because of a hard freeze. If your a/c has frozen up, then the coolant cannot circulate throughout the system respectfully, which results in your component blowing hot air into your home, but giving your a/c respected time to thaw could let the coolant be able to redistribute the heat from your home in order to cool off the air inside your home. Another reason your a/c is blowing hot air could be because you are running low on coolant. If your Heating plus Air Conditioning system doesn’t have enough coolant, then it will be impossible for your component to cool the air inside your home. It is pressing that a pro Heating plus Air Conditioning service tech is the 1 dealing with the coolant in your system, as Heating plus Air Conditioning coolant can pose a big risk to the handler plus the environment. Contact your local Heating plus Air Conditioning provider ASAP if your a/c is blowing hot air and have the problem fixed in time for summer.

3 big advantages of preventative a/c service

Keeping your a/c system running in optimal condition is so pressing to the longevity and the efficacy of your Heating plus Air Conditioning system. One thing you should do is to change your air filter frequently… The air filter is very pressing to pulling dust, debris, and other pollutants out of the air, which are so harmful to breathe and can cause respiratory illness. Whenever your filter becomes obstructed, it can make it hard for your Heating plus Air Conditioning system to circulate the air as effectively as it can. Most Heating plus Air Conditioning professionals request changing your a/c filters every 3 to 6 months, especially if you have pets. Another benefit of preventative Heating plus Air Conditioning service is to get your air ducts cleaned respectfully. Your air ducts are a haven for dust, mildew, and a haven for other air pollutants to hide, and become disturbed and blown throughout your home when you run your a/c. Most Heating plus Air Conditioning pros request having your air duct cleaned every 5 years. One last idea for preventative Heating plus Air Conditioning service is that having your Heating plus Air Conditioning components diagnosed respectfully is helpful to the life of your system, then getting an Heating plus Air Conditioning serviceman come and check out your system annually will ensure that you are aware of the state of your system. An Heating plus Air Conditioning service tech coming to inspect your system respectfully will be able to catch small troubles before they become any bigger, which could end up being costly repairs. Call your local Heating plus Air Conditioning company immediately to make sure that you respectfully have busy service on your equipment, for the life of your HVAC equipment, plus the quality of the air that you and your family breathe.

Why a high quality commercial a/c is vital for your diner

One small tip to running a successful diner is getting a high turnover rate for your tables.

When clients sit a long time at a table, it means fewer tables for potential current clients.

If they keep buying drinks, it’s not as much of an issue, however when they stop buying your products, you stop making sales, however I have learned that by keeping your a/c running efficiently, and at low cool temps is a good way to keep the flow of clients moving. With a high quality commercial a/c, you can maintain the temperature in your diner always low, so that after they eat their meal, they aren’t quite as likely to stick around talking and wasting expensive table seating, preventing your diner from generating more sales, and making you miss out on cash. Studies have shown that keeping the a/c set low in a diner keeps people from staying too long, and polls request that most diner shoppers prefer a diner that is too freezing to a diner that is too warm. When you update the a/c unit in your diner with a high quality, commercial a/c, you are making an investment in the longevity of your diner. Many times, when someone buys a diner, the air conditioner is in poor working condition, meaning that your Heating plus Air Conditioning is now working poorly or inefficiently. What is also pressing is to have respectfully busy service with a local commercial Heating plus Air Conditioning provider to ensure that your a/c is now working as efficiently as it can, saving the most cash for your diner, contact your local commercial Heating plus Air Conditioning provider soon to see what updates are available for your business.

The Hotel air conditioner that let myself and others sleep love a baby

Last summer, I had to attend a funeral service for a dear old buddy of mine. I left our hometown many years ago, and now I decided to stay with a buddy for the weekend while I attended the funeral and the memorial service the following day. The service was appealing, and was an great celebration of our old friend’s life, however when I went to kneel down in our friend’s guest room for the night, I couldn’t sleep a wink. I got up and tried to turn the thermostat down, however it was to no avail, and I felt no relief and couldn’t bring myself to sleep in a different situation while the a/c was blowing so warm. The next day, I decided to book a hotel suite. I didn’t want to offend our friends, however I just couldn’t sleep in a room where the a/c wasn’t that powerful. When I checked into the hotel suite, 1 of the first things I asked the clerk was if the a/c was now working respectfully in our hotel suite, and he assured myself and others that it was. Much to our relief, this hotel room easily had the best a/c I have ever experienced. I couldn’t believe how soothing the cool air was to me, especially after staying in our friend’s house with such an inefficient a/c. I fell asleep within hours of laying my head down, and the air was deliciously circulated throughout the suite all night long. I woke up rested and was able to be present at the memorial with our friends and our family, as I had not been up all night the night before.

How a broken a/c nearly ruined our wedding day

When our partner Nike and I planned for our special day, both of us were sure that both of us had thought of everything.

The decor, the drinks, the lighting, both of us had it all typed out into nice spreadsheets that both of us followed to the T, and make sure that everything happened exactly the way both of us wanted it happen, not only for us, however for our guests as well.

The 1 thing neither of us anticipated was the Air conditioning in the locale having troubles. When I went with our gang of bridesmaids to start setting up I instantly realized that the locale felt so hot and humid. I started to panic, I told our future partner and he agreed, so both of us told the event supervisor instantly. She told us that there was a problem with the a/c, and that the Heating plus Air Conditioning service tech was being sent out instantly. With only a few fifths until the wedding, I was entirely freaking the heck out, however our maid of honor convinced myself and others to keep getting ready, and not to worry. What I didn’t find out until later was that the a/c filters were obstructed, and the Heating plus Air Conditioning components in the locale were unable to respectfully circulate and cool the air in the locale. I didn’t guess anything had been done about it either, not until I was walking down the aisle, and I instantly noticed how much cooler the air was inside of the event locale, then luckily, the Heating plus Air Conditioning serviceman had changed the air filters in the event locale just in time for the ceremony to start, and everything was perfect for our wedding day.

Ductless mini-split converts our shed into a man cave

It did, however, have a 12 by 11 foot shed in the backyard that would be perfect for the section I wanted

When our partner Cal and I were hunting for a current house, it was 1 of the most stressful points in our marriage. Cal and I wanted to have enough rooms, however also stay inside our modest budget. One thing I, in particular, wanted in a current house was to have a “man cave” of sorts, without an office, where our pals and I could watch films, smoke cigars, and hang out without spine-chilling Cal, or the future baby. The people I was with and I found the perfect house, in the perfect location, however it was missing a section for a man cave. It did, however, have a 12 by 11 foot shed in the backyard that would be perfect for the section I wanted. In order to turn it to a liveable section it of course had to have air conditioner and heating! Rather than go through the big hassle of installing air duct, or using an ugly, costly window unit, I decided to buy a ductless mini-split for our mancave Heating plus Air Conditioning system. A ductless mini-split is a very affordable, self-explanatory to install appliance that can be used to heat and cool a room, without needing Heating plus Air Conditioning ducts, and since there are no ducts, I only needed to drill a small hole for all of the necessary components connecting the inside components to the outside. My ductless mini-split has been a good addition to our space, and it has guaranteed our comfort and the comfort of our guests no matter the temperature outside, the temps inside has always been comfortable, since the ductless mini-split is so much more efficient than any window unit, I have saved hundreds of dollars every week, especially since it’s a room that I will spend so much time in.

My number one diner became the go-to spot for meeting with clients

My job requires myself and my colleagues to get out of the office and meet with the clients.

We will sometimes meet at public company offices, however I find that it’s more personable to bring clients to a diner or a bar.

I need our clients to believe comfortable when making decisions with me, so I need to be sure that they have a bite to eat, and maybe a beverage or numerous if they’re inclined to do so. My boss had a particular diner in mind for 1 particular client, a steakhouse, so when I met the new client there, I was surprised how hot it was inside. The food was alright, and the drinks were okay, however I couldn’t get over how muggy and steamy the air felt. I asked the supervisor if he would lower the a/c, and they told myself and others that it was as low as it could go. The client was getting visibly uncomfortable, as both of us were both becoming hot when it was time for us to talk about business! Frustrated, I asked him if he wanted to try the tavern next door, and he agreed. Right upon walking in the door, I was refreshed by the power of the respectfully working a/c. The rest of the night went well and I now have a strong company relationship with this client. I will never bring current clients to the steakhouse again, not until they replace the entire Heating plus Air Conditioning system and are able to have it at a better temperature. I goofed with the bartender about the a/c at the steakhouse and he told myself and others that when the new owners purchased the building, 1 of the first things they did was overhaul the full Heating plus Air Conditioning system, since the existing a/c and oil furnace were over 30 years old, and that the steakhouse likely was using inefficient, outdated Heating plus Air Conditioning equipment. This tavern became our current go-to spot for meeting with new clients.

Upgrading our Heating system to increase the equity in our home

My partner and I have lived in our lovely home for over 8 years, it has served us well, and while we’re not ready to transfer just yet, both of us have been pondering the future, and getting ready to sell our house, many of the biggest decisions we have made were all with the goal of raising the resale value of our house before both of us put it on the market! The people I was with and I have updated most of the the appliances, installed LED lighting throughout the house, overhauled the landscape, and only recently, both of us have decided to update our Heating plus Air Conditioning system, and our very aged gas furnace was incredibly outdated, and while it had been respectfully tested, it was taking up a huge section in a room that both of us wanted to convert to a livable space, and since the both of us lived in a certainly mild climate, both of us didn’t need the gas furnace, but a heating pump can be localed outside, and uses a condenser and evaporator to heat your home during the winter, and cool it in the summer.

The installation was certainly quick, especially since our existing ductwork was in good condition from respectfully busy service from our local Heating plus Air Conditioning retailer.

Our current heat pump was a good investment to our home, it is far more energy efficient than our traditional gas gas furnace, greatly lowering our utility bills every week. Our main problem when it came to the heat pump installation was the air quality, however our Heating plus Air Conditioning provider ensures us that our air quality would be the same, if not better than before, as long as both of us respectfully change out the air filters! Installing a heat pump was a good way to add more value to our home, just in time for us to bring it to market.
