Moldy magazine stuffed into the ductwork

The place was a fixer-upper, and we knew that going in.

When you inherit a house, and a piece of land, you can’t look that gift horse in the mouth.

This was a free house, one much bigger and nicer than the small condo where we had been living. It came with a lot of work, though, repairs and renovations that were long overdue. Whoever the previous owners were had been very odd people, and the more we settled in the more surprises we found hidden in the depths of the house. The first floor seemed normal enough, and although the face of the thermostat was blank, it just needed batteries. After the batteries were replaced, we were delighted to find that the central HVAC system turned on, albeit a little slowly. I set it to the heating mode, and then held my hand in front of an air vent to see the strength and the temperature of the air flow. I felt nothing come out of the vent, so I switched the thermostat over to cooling mode and repeated the process. The system seemed to be working, and yet nothing came out of the air vents! My husband took the grating off of the main intake air vent for the house, and we found that the air duct was jammed full of old magazines. I instantly felt so dirty, because there were thousands of old, damp, moldy porno mags jammed into the ductwork of this place! To clean out the air ducts would mean touching all those magazines, and I just can’t do that!

I was aware of the heating issues

I have this aged baseboard heater, then the gas furnace had not been working right lately and I did not know exactly what I should do, but i did not want to get rid of it because I have had it for so long, so I took a chance and called my local heat and a/c dealer to see if they repaired aged baseboard heaters, however lucky for me, they did! So I busy a time for them to send out 1 of their certified HVAC specialists to check out what was wrong with the heater.

  • The day the HVAC specialist arrived and looked at it, they said that they could absolutely repair my aged baseboard gas furnace and that the issue was not something that was hard to fix.

So the HVAC specialist got right to labor on the baseboard heater, and he had the thing working again in about an fourth’s time. I paid the heating and cooling dealer their HVAC beach apartment services fee and the HVAC worker was on his way back to the heat and a/c dealer. I consider myself blessed that I was able to absolutely get this aged baseboard gas furnace repaired. It is not too respected these days to find a HVAC dealer that has heat and a/c specialists that know anything about the aged forms of heating and cooling to be able to repair them! If I ever have an issue with the baseboard gas furnace again I will call the local heat and a/c dealer to help.

A rough time at work

The air quality around here where I live is all over the locale.

  • In the afternoon it is normally pretty exhausting and I am sneezing, coughing and having general breathing concerns.

But then at evening the air quality is easily nice and great. I just do not understand it! How can you go from a single extreme to the next in the course of a day? It totally beats me. I have no system however this is how it is in the area in which myself and others and our family live in. I bought a few portable air purification systems to get us through the rough afternoons. They help most of the time. It is a taxing thing to deal with I will say. Especially when you have exhausting pollen irritations love I do with horrible air quality on top of it. But with the portable air purification plan I can fight it off in the afternoon. Then at evening I usually open the windows in the house to let in the great air quality that ends up showing up at that time. Like I said it is a real unusual set up with the air quality around here. Who would imagine that it could go love it does. The hot and cold temperatures are not much unusual these days. You could have it be nice and cool in the afternoon and then by day you are having to crank the living hell out of your central heating and air conditioner plan with the a/c on super high running up your electric bills. I am blissful I have a smart thermostat.

I took a nice and long holiday

We all need a chop from time to time.

Sometimes longer than others. This was the case for myself and others with our heating and air conditioner business. I am an independent heat and a/c business who has been laboring non stop for the last 6 years without any kind of holiday. This was something that was finally getting to me. So as a result of all this I finally decided enough was enough and it was time to take a nice long 2 month holiday. I put everything on hold and closed our independent heating and air conditioner company for this amount of time and I took a cruise ship holiday with our partner for the 2 weeks. It was no nice not even thinking about heating or air conditioner. To be even-handed I was totally burned out on it all. I nearly was so burnt out I thought about getting another work and closing the heating and air conditioner company for good! However I knew that would not be a wise system because this is our work and what I put so much time and effort into building. It was just that a long 2 month long overdue chop was needed and I needed to get away from the everyday hustle and bustle all together. After the 2 month holiday on the cruise I reopened our independent heating and air conditioner company and all was back to company as usual. I fell right back into it and felt refreshed with no feelings of wanting to quit. The long holiday was just what I needed.

The early sales call

I am very not too fond of telemarketers.

And I am even more so not fond of them when they call early in the afternoon on a weekend while I am trying to sleep in late! I got woken up last weekend by a telemarketer calling myself and others at around 8am selling heating, ventilation and A/C home services! This very sad myself and others because not only do I have my heating, ventilation and A/C home services taken care of, however my sibling is a certified heat as well as air conditioning specialist! Now of course I guess they are not expected to guess this.

But the point is it just made myself and others more mad as well as sad about getting that pointless cellphone call which woke myself and others up. I very need to find out how to get on one of those do not call lists i’m telling you! I particularly yelled at the poor telemarketer as well as told them what they could do with their heating, ventilation and A/C home services. There are so numerous competing heat as well as air conditioning companies in the area, as well as now they are resorting to the aged telemarketing thing to try to get business. That is particularly the worst thing they could do because all the people as well as their mothers guess that if you have something sold through telemarketing that usually means that you are some sort of scam or that there is something dishonest somewhere. I have never had a telemarketing call for something one hundred percent on the level. Maybe these heating, ventilation and A/C people were? Who knows as well as who cares really.

quality heating

No right or wrong

When it comes to the temperature in your home there is no right as well as no wrong temperature.

It all depends on the woman or peoples living in the home.

The way you set your control unit as well as how you have the central heating as well as air conditioner working is all up to you. Some people appreciate their control unit to make the locale hotter than others. And on the other side of things some people appreciate their homes colder. As long as you look after your central heating as well as air conditioner there is no right or wrong way to heat as well as cool your home, and just always make sure to change the air filters of your central heating as well as air conditioner at least once every few months, however especially if you have cheap generic air filters as they last the least amount of time. They are not appreciate the high quality HEPA brand air filters that they sell for a little more money. Heating as well as air conditioning is a very option kind of thing. There will never be a right temperature or a wrong temperature as I was explaining. What one woman thinks is right, another could recognize is wrong or not right for them. Which is more than fine. Just again, look after your central heating as well as air conditioner by performing the particular repair that is needed for the central Heating and A/C unit as well as you can prefer a long time of quality heating as well as cooling exactly how you appreciate it! Never let anyone tell you what is right or wrong. Only you can decide that!

The work that i do

I work in the Heating and A/C business.

But I am not your typical working stiff of a heat as well as air conditioning specialist.

I am my own boss because I am what is called an independent heating, ventilation and A/C dealer. In being an independent heating, ventilation and A/C company I make my own rules as well as work my own way. This is so much better than having to work for some heat as well as air conditioning company as well as be paid low dollar for tons of work as well as also I do not have to punch a time clock as well as be at work at a particular time, etc, then with being an independent heating, ventilation and A/C company my afternoon begins whenever I have my first heat as well as air conditioning appointment tied up for that afternoon as well as it ends when the final Heating and A/C appointment that I personally tied up for the afternoon is done. It is so much more of a relaxed way to work in the heating, ventilation and A/C business. Also it makes it so that I get paid much more money than I would working for some heating, ventilation and A/C corporation. It is just the only way to be a heating, ventilation and A/C specialist in my most humble opinion. I started my own heat as well as air conditioning business after working for a heating as well as cooling company over a few years. I got fatigued of the way the people I was with and I all were treated as well as I got fatigued of being a slave more or less, now I make the wonderful money as well as I am cheerful with the work that I do.
