There was a spot of mold in the closet.

I was doing some early Springtime cleaning to make more room for the gifts I had gotten for Christmas.

I had all our older clothes out for charity plus was putting them in a pile when I noticed a dark spot in the back of our walk-in closet.

I wasn’t 100% sure what it was, however our mind instantly went to mold. I reached out to the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C business plus told them that I thought there was black mold in our closet. I removed all our clothing from the closet plus washed them in special detergent, then left the closet door open until the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C professional arrived. It was just a tiny patch of mold, however he said it looked as if I may have a leak around the chimney. This meant I had to have our roof repaired to keep the leak from coming down the chimney. I also had a small draft in the closet. I would have thought the air movement should have kept the mold at bay, but I was wrong. He checked out the walk-in closet plus told me there was an air vent in there, however it wasn’t letting air in. When he opened that air vent, he chuckled. He asked if I had lost anything lately. There was an old blouse stuck in the air vent. I remember putting it down there one evening because of the air flow coming through the air vent, plus I was afraid it would take the color out of our black blouse. He said if I hadn’t put the blouse in the air vent to block the air, I may not have the mold, plus I was lucky it hadn’t started a fire.
air filter

I cannot install a HEPA air filter?

With an air cleaner, you get the HEPA air filter, plus an added UV light which will kill virtually all mold spores, mildew plus other nasties that could escape into the air

When Joe, my local Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C pro, told me about the air cleaner, the only thing I could believe of was that it was a fancy modern kind of air filter. Joe wanted me to get a HEPA air filter instead of the typical air filter I had been using. I told him that wasn’t what I needed plus asked Joe if I couldn’t just put the HEPA air filter into our oil furnace plus the AC unit. Joe told me that installing a HEPA air filter wasn’t that easy, however unless you have a newer model of Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C system, they didn’t build the older Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C systems to handle HEPA air filters. The HEPA air filter was much thicker plus had a heavier weave, which is why they can filter out a lot more dirt, debris, dander, allergens, plus other things that get in the air. Joe said an air filter can capture the mold spores, however they can’t kill them. That’s where the HEPA air filter comes in. They installed our Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C plan before people knew about the HEPA air filters. The price is much higher, plus everyone doesn’t want that expense. With an air cleaner, you get the HEPA air filter, plus an added UV light which will kill virtually all mold spores, mildew plus other nasties that could escape into the air. I still wanted to just use the HEPA air filter in our Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C system, however Joe wasn’t buying it, plus I wasn’t buying his pitch to have an air purification plan installed. Maybe I am being stubborn, but I had lived with all the nasties in the air for all these years, so I decided an air purification plan wasn’t for me.

 

 

a/c set up

We needed an air cleaner.

He told us Bob and I could have the whole-house air purification installed plus began asking questions about the UV light plus HEPA air filters.

My spouse Bob never told me that he had ordered an air cleaner. The two of us talked about the dust in the air plus how our daughter’s asthma seemed to get a lot worse lately. After Bob went to job the next afternoon, I got on the iphone to the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C business. I was going to get them to check our Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C plan to see if Bob and I could get a whole-house air purification plan installed. When the receptionist asked for our street address, she asked if I had called earlier? I told her I hadn’t plus asked why. She told me that someone named Bob had called earlier that afternoon plus made the same request. I called Bob plus asked if he had arenad an order for an air cleaner. Bob said he had, plus he was going to tell me that afternoon when he got home. I rolled our eye plus simply told Bob thanks for letting me know, plus I just tried to do the same thing. Two afternoons after that, the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C professional was inspecting our old Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C system. He told us Bob and I could have the whole-house air purification installed plus began asking questions about the UV light plus HEPA air filters. Bob seemed to guess what he was talking about, but I was clueless. After explaining that the UV lighting helped to kill what got through the HEPA rated air filter, I was happy Bob and I chose both in the air cleaner. I couldn’t guess the difference in how well our kid breathed once the whole-house air purification plan was installed.

The dust was so thick it was clinging to itself.

I knew our home had gotten dusty.

The two of us lived in an section where the dirt roads were dirt roads.

The authorities didn’t do oil drips during the Springtime, plus the nearest pavement was over seven miles away on the state highway. All you had to do was have the lightest breeze, plus the dust was in the house. My problem was that the dust was so bad, it was clinging to itself, thus making it look like it was wearing mohair blankets on all our cupboards. The grease from cooking caused that mohair blanket to get an oil sheen to it, plus I couldn’t scrub it away. I hired professional cleaners to get rid of the dirt plus dust, however they told me to call the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C business. If I had developed this much dust in the house, there could be a problem with the ductwork or the oil furnace as well. I took their advice plus called the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C business. I told them all about the dust plus the grease. When the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C pro arrived, he said that I needed a hood fan that would pull the grease outside instead of sending it back into the air. He then checked the ductwork plus asked when it had last been deep cleaned. I couldn’t tell him if the ductwork had ever been cleaned. The next afternoon, I had a small team of professional ductwork cleaners cleaning plus sanitizing our ductwork. Luckily they were there, because they found some holes in the ductwork plus could maintain them while doing the ductwork cleaning. I still have some dust in our house, however it odors cleaner, plus the furniture isn’t in mohair blankets.

How hard can it be to change my dirty air filter?

I thought increasing my air filter in my Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C plan should be fairly easy, because you just open the air filter compartment, take out the old air filter, plus put a modern air filter in it.

Pretty simple? Right? Not for me.

I had a hard time getting the air filter compartment latch open. Once I got it unstuck, the air filter was jammed in there, plus the dust plus dirt got all over everything. I tried to vacuum up the mess, but I was afraid that it had gotten into the oil furnace, plus I knew some components didn’t handle it well. I was going to put a modern air filter into the oil furnace, but I was upset that if all that dirt was there, I could ruin the oil furnace. I called the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C team plus told them about our air filter dilemma. The person who answered the iphone told me it would be okay to put a modern air filter in, even though she wanted me to talk to a Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C professional. Wouldn’t you guess it, however they put our baby brother on the iphone? He asked if he could help, plus he laughed as soon as he heard our voice. My brother said he was going to be a Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C pro until he heard me, however he had to laugh. I was the only guy he knew who could turn increasing an air filter into a reason to call the local Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C business for help. Not only did he come to the home to scrub up the messes I had made, however he enjoyed telling the story when the people I was with and I both got together for brunch that weekend. No matter what, I will never call the Heating business again if I make a stupid mistake.

I didn’t believe anyone wanted to hire a 1-armed Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C pro

After coming back to my house from military service, it left me with a disability.

I had lost our left arm in an accident.

It had nothing at all to do with the Iraq war, however it was just a silly accident because I didn’t pay attention. I was working on industrial Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C components plus paying little attention to where I was walking. One of the other workers yelled caution, but I had our headphones cranked up. The next thing I knew, I woke up in a hospital with an arm missing. When I came home, I didn’t believe anyone would hire a one-armed Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C professional. I could still do our tasks plus had trained myself to job with only one arm. It wasn’t a very easy task, but I had to do it. With a lot of rehabilitation plus even more guts, I was finally going to become a member of civilization again. I went to the local Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C business, where they greeted me with love, as if I was a big war hero, but I was just a screw-up plus I explained what had happened to our arm. The owners of the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C business asked if I could do our task, plus I asked them to let me prove it. He took me on more than one Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C calls plus refused to help me. I repaired the oil furnace plus had it running in record time, in both cases. I knew he was hesitant to hire me when he asked if I had l received any lessons after losing the arm. I told him I l received how to job with one hand, plus to never wear headphones while working around industrial Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C components or sloppy workers. He still hired me.

Our son lied to us about his task at the HVAC company.

There was always the #1 rule in our house, which was not to lie; Everyone made mistakes, however you had to own up to them.

Once you lied, then you had to continue lying to cover up the first lie you started with, and my son broke that rule several weeks ago. Sam kept telling us he had a task, plus he was working for the local Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C business. Neither of us believed Sam, because he had no viable skills for a job at the local Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C business. When he said he was sweeping plus learning all of the inventory, it made more sense, however he never came house dirty plus looked just as fresh as when he left for work. Some evenings, Sam would come house late‌, however our spouse wouldn’t question him about it. Sam told me the boy was eighteen, plus the people I was with and I had to supply Sam some leeway. He was living with us, plus I was sure he was lying about his task. I followed Sam one afternoon, which made our spouse quite irritated. I wanted to guess what he was entirely doing. When Sam went into the community college, I was dumbfounded. Why would our son be lying plus telling me that he was going to job when he was in school? This made little sense. I went to our spouse with the info l received, however he said nothing to me; Later that evening, he said Sam was going to school for Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C, plus working his way through trade school by working at the local Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C business. Sam wanted to surprise me when he graduated in several more months.
