I worry about my girlfriend when she is alone

They were having a really good time in the house until there was a problem with the home air conditioner.

I hate to leave my girlfriend alone at home when I have to go away for a couple of days. I know that she doesn’t like living all the way out here in the country. We used to live in the city and my girlfriend had her friends really close. When I had to go somewhere for work, she always had someone close by in an emergency. When we decided to buy a house, I knew that we could not stay in the city. Prices on real estate were way too high for the two of us to be able to afford anything with a yard. We bought a three bedroom house that was far less expensive than a much smaller condo would have been in the city. My girlfriend loves living in the country, but she gets scared and lonely when I have to leave for a few days. Last week I had a job down south and I had to leave for the whole week. During the week that I was gone, my girlfriend invited her sister to hang out at our house. They were having a really good time in the house until there was a problem with the home air conditioner. The air conditioner in our home needed to be replaced. My girlfriend called me while I was away. She told me the cost to have the air conditioning system replaced. I really wanted to have an additional estimate and diagnostic check on the machine, but my girlfriend did not want to wait until I came home to fix the air conditioner.

The humid summer season is starting already

In this part of the country, summers are definitely the worst season of the year.

Summers are extremely hot and humid with moisture and rain almost every single day.

It seems like we have a summer rainstorm every afternoon around the same exact time. The moisture and humidity fill the clouds and they have to release some of that moisture. It rained this week on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. On Wednesday I was supposed to help my coworker with a rooftop AC repair. The rooftop AC was covered by a building, but there was a heavy amount of water and rain on the roof. I knew that the roof was going to be wet and slippery. I told my boss that we should wait until the next day to work on the rooftop AC repair and he thought that was a good idea too. My boss made the call to the order of the business and rescheduled the appointment until thursday. Instead of spending the afternoon working on the rooftop AC repair, my coworker and I ended up hanging out at the office. We completely cleaned the stock room and put all of the boxes away. We also organized all of the parts that are usually scattered about the backroom floor. It actually poured down rain on Wednesday. We usually have light sprinkles or a quick sun shower, but on Wednesday it was dark and cloudy. It got quite cold when it started raining and I was happy that my coworker and I weren’t on the roof trying to avoid getting soaked.

Traffic was a nightmare at 4pm

It took almost an hour for the crews to clean things up and half of that time I was sitting there waiting.

Every afternoon when all of the businesses shut down for the day, traffic is an absolute nightmare. Around 4:00, the roads are packed with people and it is impossible to go anywhere quickly. Downtown is of course the worst place to be in the afternoon. Everyone is leaving the buildings and heading toward the interstate. It’s best to be heading in the opposite direction during this time of the day. Yesterday I had a furnace repair job at 5:00 in the afternoon. It was my last job of the day and I was already on the other side of town. I knew that I was going to barely make it to the job, even if I moved quickly. I got onto the interstate and traffic was moving quickly until an accident occurred. When the accident occurred, traffic slowed down to a crawl. I was stuck a half mile behind the area where the accident was located. It took almost an hour for the crews to clean things up and half of that time I was sitting there waiting. The lady for the furnace repair was annoyed and aggravated that I didn’t get to her residence until 5:30, but there was nothing that I could do about the traffic and the accident. I did my best to make it to the appointment on time. Hopefully the traffic won’t be this bad once they get the new lanes of traffic finished. Right now we have 3 east and 3 west bound lanes, but at the beginning of the year, we will have five on each side.

Prayer Breakfast Assisted by Good Indoor Air Quality

When I go to any kind of indoor event I am always conscious of the heating and cooling system and whether or not the place seems to have good indoor air quality.

Well, this morning I was invited to a prayer breakfast and talk, and there were about 60 people there. When you have a number of people in one small room, it is mandatory that you have good indoor air quality. That means that you need to have a good strong HVAC unit that has a good whole room humidifier or dehumidifier, depending on the need, and also good AC air filters that will filter out bad things and allow good things to stay in the air. Some contaminants always manage to get through if you buy cheap AC air vents, therefore I always recommend getting the best AC air filters you can. In the last several years, a growing body of scientific evidence has indicated that the air inside buildings can be more polluted than the outdoor air, plus most of the people in this country are always inside! Not only that, but those who can least afford to be affected are the people who are almost never outdoors – young people, the elderly, and the chronically ill, and people with respiratory or heart ailments. I saw no visible signs in the room that there might not be good indoor air quality. No one seemed to be coughing or sneezing, there was no visible dust anywhere, and breathing deeply was a relief. One thing you should always try to do is try to increase ventilation in your home or office. The more air that circulates in from the outside, the cleaner your air is likely to be. When fall comes, I am in heaven because I turn off the AC and open the windows.

Try out High Velocity HVAC

If you find yourself in need of new air conditioning at your home or workplace, one type of HVAC you should consider is High Velocity Air Conditioning.

There are a number of positive attributes of High Velocity HVAC, and some of them might be important to you.

Let’s start with answering the questions, “What is High Velocity AC?” High velocity HVAC systems are pretty similar to traditional HVAC systems in that a compressor outside creates hot and cool air, then sends it into the home through ductwork.High velocity AC does the same thing but doesn’t need those gigantic ducts. Instead, there is small diameter flexible tubing that is usually run inside walls. A high velocity AC system doesn’t have metal vents in the floor or ceiling so you can put your furniture wherever you want. Instead, the rectangular vent is replaced by a tiny, circular vent. That’s the first benefit: No huge ducts. The second: No big, ugly ac vents. The next benefit is the high velocity part. The system uses high-pressure to thrust it out. That brings us to the next benefit, which is heating or cooling a room much faster. The next benefit is the ease of installation. Also, you are much less likely to have to replace small ductwork inside a wall then you are a great big ductwork that is in the Attic or, even worse, in the crawl space under your house. High Velocity HVAC is also a very good option if you are trying to put in central air conditioning for the first time. This is because you don’t really have to make room for ductwork. Also, if you are trying to upgrade a historic home, you really can’t go wrong with high velocity heating and cooling. Give it a try!

Ductless mini-split HVAC systems can now heat homes very well

Climate control is a modern marvel.

  • It’s quite incredible that we are now able to control the temperature within an enclosed space via such advanced technological means.

However, you may not realize that HVAC technology is continuing to evolve. It is becoming more effective and wonderful by the day! You may be familiar with ductless mini-split HVAC systems being able to cool a home efficiently. They allow for different temperatures to be set within different rooms for convenience and energy-saving purposes. However, did you know that ductless mini-split HVAC technology has advanced to the point where they are also able to heat a home effectively, even in extremely cold weather? It wasn’t always the case, but now there are ductless mini split HVAC systems that are called “low ambient”. These low ambient systems can genuinely heat a home as effectively as a forced air heater, even if it is in the single digits outside! They are also efficient at eliminating excess humidity within the home. As ever, with ductless systems you will benefit from having more living space and less hassle than with forced air HVAC systems. With all of these benefits, there really isn’t any reason to consider a different kind of climate control system other than ductless mini-split ones! It’s the perfect solution for your heating and cooling needs. Call your local HVAC company today to see if they have a selection of ductless mini split HVAC systems! You’ll never regret your decision and you will save a ton of money.

Benefits of ductless mini-split HVAC systems

Forced air heating and air conditioning systems serve their purpose.

They can keep a home warm and they can keep a home cool.

However, they are not as flexible or efficient or even as effective as ductless HVAC systems are at keeping everyone comfortable. Looking at one aspect of why ductless systems are better, they can potentially end the constant fighting over the thermostat. A ductless mini split system can quite simply allow for different temperatures to be set within different rooms of the house. This provides a host of benefits for many reasons. Are there certain rooms in your home that you barely ever go into? You can set the temperature in those areas to one that will use far less energy. What if you have a family in which many individuals have a very different idea of what is a comfortable temperature? That’s where being able to set separate temperatures also comes in, as at the least, when each member of the family wants to enjoy a temperature that they prefer, they can go into separate rooms. Ductless mini split HVAC systems also have unique technology that allows them to tweak themselves in such a way that they are being as energy efficient as possible when heating or cooling your home. There’s so much to love about ductless mini split HVAC systems compared to conventional forced air systems! I would highly recommend that you contact your local HVAC company if you are looking into replacing your current forced air HVAC system. There is a good chance they have ductless mini split HVAC system options available.
