New Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C rules at the school

At my kids school they are making modern rules regarding the heating and a/c. Because there were a lot of complaints about it being too sizzling or too frigid in there due to them not putting the control unit up where it needed to be, there is now a regulation where they have to have the central heating and a/c maintaining a steady temperature of at least 68 degrees year round. In the super frigid winter time months it must be at least 68 degrees in there or they could catch a major good from the city. The same goes in the start of the super sizzling summer time months towards the end of the fall semester where it must be at least 68 degrees in there. Otherwise again, a good will be given if reported. I suppose this is a entirely good thing so the school has to maintain indoor comfort for all the kids as well as the mentors. Those in charge of the control unit settings in the past have been the corporate people who have personal heating and air conditioning units in their offices. And they did not love the general staff or the kids. It made it a entirely tough fall semester for all the people, but now it is going to all change and be much different. I am entirely glad for this when I got a letter in the mail telling me about it. So start entirely soon I know my kids will be in quality indoor comfort in the school. Also they said that they will be required to have the most brand modern and new commercial heating and a/c too.

Can a vehicle boiler have better heating than your home?

One question I was asking myself the other day was if a vehicle boiler can actually be better than the boiler in your proper home? I suppose it all depends on what kind of central heating and a/c you have.

If you have an older central heating and a/c then you can bet that most likely the heating in your vehicle is going to be better if it is a modern and new car. However, if your central heating and a/c at property is a brand modern and extremely new central heating and a/c unit than for sure the heating in your property is going to be way better and much more powerful than you car’s heater… Even if the heating and cooling system in your vehicle is the latest and greatest. This is because today’s central heating and a/cs have good power that they did not have back when. So the tploy answer to the question in my case is that the central heating and a/c that I have in my property provides better heating than the boiler in my car… Because I just bought a brand modern and completely new central heating and a/c unit that I spent a ton of money on. This is the reason my home’s boiler is way better than my vehicle heater. What is the verdict with yours? Only you would know the tploy answer to that.

Mold and air purification

When you have a immense bout of mold in your home, even if you clean it all up and get rid of it there is still going to be particles hanging around in the air, but this is why a good idea when dealing with mold would be to get yourself a few portable air cleaners.

The portable air cleaners will help get rid of what is left in the air of the mold! And guess me, at that point the portable air cleaners can be a real life saver, however having good air quality in your property is entirely crucial as it is, and with portable air cleaners it can entirely help the situation once you’ve had mold all over your property and in the air quality making it awful air quality! If you can afford it, it is entirely best to invest into a whole property air cleaner after dealing with giant amounts of mold in your home.

That is what I did when I had a major mold outbreak in my house. And the whole property air cleaner that I bought entirely did the job well in cleaning up what was left in the air of all that mold; Without the whole property air cleaner I am not sure that anything would have helped other than having to buy multiple portable air cleaners because of how awful the mold was all around my home even after cleaning up. It was that bad, then so I suppose I can say thank you to new heating and air conditioning technology!

HVAC marketing wasn’t for me.

When I talked about being the owner of an HVAC company, I was thinking about all the things I didn’t want to do.

  • One of the scariest things about being a small business owner is wondering how you were going to get customers.

My wife was excited and told me I would need to do some HVAC marketing. I wasn’t interested in marketing, but she was. She told me marketing is what she went to school for, but she found me instead. She told me marketing was important. We could hire an online marketing company to advertise our HVAC company, or we could do it ourselves. I rolled my eyes and told her I was an HVAC technician and not a computer geek. She once again reminded me she was a marketing major in college. That didn’t mean she was an expert in computers. She said if I didn’t trust her, I could hire an online web development company. I was just talking about owning an HVAC company and had no real plans yet, but she was already planning for marketing and websites. I stopped her in mid-sentence and told her she was hired if I ever followed through with my idea. As it was at that moment, I was just speaking my thoughts out loud. I had no real intentions of being an HVAC company owner, and it was just a ‘what if, and sometime in the future’ scenario. My wife must have thought it was a ‘this happening as soon as possible’ scenario. You would think I would have learned fifteen years ago not to speak my ideas out loud. That’s how I ended up engaged.

 

furnace/heater installation

The HVAC tech said our furnace was wrong.

My wife and I had talked about having a whole-home air purification system installed.

I knew we had to contact an HVAC company. There had to be different things that needed done when installing a whole-home air purification system. I called the HVAC company we used for our HVAC system and told them what we wanted. Two days later, an HVAC technician was at my door. He inspected the furnace and the air conditioning unit. He had records from the HVAC company about our HVAC system, but he wanted to be sure. He told us the furnace was all wrong for an HVAC system. To have a whole-home air purification system, you had to have a system that was compatible with a HEPA air filter. Our air conditioning unit could take a HEPA air filter, but not the furnace. Our furnace was getting old, so I thought I would just get a new furnace, something else worried him. He said he did have records about the ductwork. Was it ever cleaned? Did it need repairs? He then talked about UV lights. Anything that could get through the HEPA air filters, had to pass by a UV light. I knew what UV lights were for. I had a water filtration system that had a UV light. It killed everything that passed over it. I asked if there was anything else we could use for air purification without a new furnace. He said we could do other things, but the furnace would still need to be replaced before winter arrived. I knew I wasn’t going to get around purchasing a new furnace.

He was having his heated flooring installed.

I knew my sister-in-law was gone for two weeks.

She was visiting their daughter who had just had a baby. She wanted to help with the baby until their daughter was moving around a bit better after having a c-section. Two days after she left, he called and asked me to come over. He told me his wife had always wanted radiant heated flooring in the bathrooms, and he wanted my expertise. I was an HVAC technician, but I wasn’t the HVAC tech who worked with radiant heated flooring. That didn’t keep me from going to his house. He asked if his furnace would work with radiant heat. I didn’t think so. He had a traditional HVAC system. Most places with radiant heated flooring had boiler systems. The water pipes were beneath the flooring and it was the hot water that heated the floors. He had a central HVAC system which used ductwork to pull the heat to the rooms. He asked me if there were other ways to give the effect of radiant heated flooring. Some of my customers had installed heat tapes under their walkways and ramps. The electric heat tapes radiated heat up to the surface, and it didn’t allow ice or snow to form on those areas. I told him heat tapes should work just as well, or better, under the bathroom flooring. All I had to do was lift the carpeting or tiles, and place the electric heat tape. He volunteered me to help him with the radiant heated flooring in his bathrooms. I was probably the only HVAC tech who would work with him for free.

Traditional HVAC isn’t for everyone.

My wife and I love ductless HVAC

When I was younger, I thought everyone had a furnace and window air conditioning units, or no air conditioning. I didn’t know they had different heating and air conditioning, back then. It wasn’t until I was in high school, that I realized buildings other than businesses, some churches, and rich people, had central HVAC. There was ductwork in the buildings and it delivered heating and air conditioning to every room in the building. Now that I am older, I am realizing that not everyone wants central air conditioning. A high amount of heating and air conditioning is lost inside the ductwork, and it is dusty. I’m not sure I would want central heating and air conditioning. I bought a house that had a boiler. The heat is created with hot air that flows through pipes. Small fans blow the heat off the pipes and through a floor radiator into the rooms. It is warm, but the heat doesn’t always reach the ceiling. It cools before getting much past head level. There is no central air conditioning because there is no ductwork. Once again I was relying on window air conditioners for cooling. Last year, we had to replace our boiler. A traditional furnace and central air conditioning was a thought, but we chose ductless HVAC. We didn’t have the cost of ductwork, and the heat and air conditioning came out of one unit, and it all went into the house. My wife and I love ductless HVAC. It is cleaner to operate, more economical, and it needs less servicing. I can’t imagine having better HVAC that operates more cheaply than ductless HVAC.
