When I went grocery shopping today I couldn’t help but to notice how cool the inside of the store was.

• Normally, when I’m going grocery shopping the first thing that I’m thinking about is what items I need to get on my list.

I was trying on a different store so I was trying to figure out which I was the closest to the first item that was on my list, however as much as I wanted to focus on my grocery list, after all that’s the reason I came here. I was finding it increasingly difficult to focus. This is because I noticed that the inside of the grocery store was very cold. I talked around me I noticed more and more people were wearing sweaters and jackets. At first I thought it was just because we were in The Fall season and people were preparing for winter, but then I remembered when I was outside the store I noticed that there were a lot of people that were still dressed like it was summer. So why was everybody dressed so warmly in the store? Well my theory is that it is because of the powerful HVAC system that’s in the store. If you look on the upper wall when you first walk in you’ll notice a large commercial HVAC unit is in there. If this large commercial HVAC is as responsible for heating and cooling the grocery store, the problem is I think they have the thermostat set a bit too low because everybody is cold in there all the time.

It was very hard for me to enjoy my food when I had poor quality Heating and cooling. My wife and I decided to go out to a restaurant last weekend because we wanted to try some new places in town. When the idea was first brought up it sounded like a fun thing to do, but I guess we just had some bad luck because we chose the wrong place. There was a new restaurant that it opened up just down the street and they promised pizza, burgers, and chicken. The food and the images looked delicious and so we thought it was worth giving them a try. However, when we went to the restaurant the experience we had was entirely different one. The witchers brought out our food and we tried it and the food was amazing. Unfortunately, that’s the thing that took away from the amazing food was the atmosphere. I don’t think they had any Heating and cooling in the restaurant at all! And this is obviously a very poor decision on their part considering we were in the middle of summer. It was really hot in there and we were burning up without any sort of AC. We decided to ask the waitress if there was any air conditioner in the restaurant and she told us that they used to have AC in the place but it broke down and management took forever to get it fixed. She apologized for the inconvenience but there was nothing that could be done. The place would have been perfect if it had cooling.

I am expecting guests to come over this weekend and so I’m doing my best to make my spare bedroom comfortable for them.

I’ve gone over all the things I thought they would be able to use, and I realized that they would probably like to have some sort of way to control the temperature of the room.

For this I had a zone controlled HVAC system. I know some people can be really picky about their heating and AC temperature, and so I figured that by using the zone control heating and AC system they would be able to put their temperatures at whatever they wanted while they were staring over. This way if I wanted to have the house at temperature, but the guest wanted the house at another temperature, they could adjust the temperature of the room to whatever they wanted to feel the most comfortable. I decided to have the same control HVAC system installed in my home last year after having family come over often. If you know anything about my family then you’ll know that everybody has different temperature preferences and because of this some arguments might start. My uncle for example always has to have his temperature the way he wants it even if it’s not his house. I wanted to hear if I felt comfortable so I had the zone control HVAC system installed. It’s used for working great too because everybody has had to have their pictures where they want them and nobody has complained so far.

Last week I came down with a pretty bad case of the flu. What I hated about having the flu the most, apart from feeling stuffy and congested all the time, was constantly having moments of being hot and moments of being cold. I have the chills pretty badly and even my normally wonderful heating and air conditioning system couldn’t do anything to fix it. Normally, when I’m uncomfortable in the house I simply turn on my heater or air conditioner and the problem is taken care of. However, no matter how much I tried to use my heating and AC system to aid me in my feelings of being hot and cold. Nothing worked! I was lucky that I had a smart thermostat so I didn’t have to get out of bed to change the temperature. Every time I would feel hot I would turn on the air conditioning, and this would work for five to ten minutes before I would start to feel cold again and then I would turn on the heater. No matter what I did, it seemed like nothing was working for me. Not even my amazing HVAC unit could straighten out my heat and a/c issues. Normally my heating and air conditioning system is so good, but my HVAC unit wouldn’t be able to fix my chills. I used it when I could have my heating and AC system to feel better. Thankfully, in a few days I had gotten over my illness and I was able to go back to enjoying my heat and AC unit like it was meant to be enjoyed.

I didn’t know what I was missing until I had a radiant heated flooring.

Have you ever had a heated form before? If not, let me tell you what it is. Radiant heated flooring is when a heating element is installed underneath your floorboards. This is normally done by your heating and cooling company, when the heat element is installed under your floorboards it makes it where your floor is warm. So now instead of just having your central heating system that warms your air, you also have a way to warm your feet too! This is great on cold winter days. I didn’t have flooring until my husband decided to get heated floors. He still had an advertisement for the heated for us on TV and he practically begged me to get it. I agreed and we went and contacted a heating and AC professional to perform the installation for us. Admittedly came as much as I was excited about having needed for and I was dreading it a little bit too. I thought the installation would be long and difficult. I was surprised when I saw that the installation only took a few hours before the heated flooring was finished and ready to use. Now the two of us are all set for this winter. We have already taken all the other steps that we need to take to make sure that our heating system is ready to keep our house toasty all throughout the winter months. Now we have our wonderful radiant heated flooring to go along with it.

I don’t need to use a furnace to keep myself warm during the winter.

My entire family thinks I’m weird for not using a traditional heating and cooling system but I choose not to use a traditional heating and cooling system.

I used to use a central heating and AC unit all the time. I would run the air condition system all day throughout the summer months and heating system all day throughout winter months. You know what that got me? Really big HVAC bills. As you might imagine I wasn’t looking forward to having large Heating and cooling bills and so if I could find another way to avoid having to pay that much money for heating and a/c I was going to do so. And I did find a way. I found my way through window air conditioning systems and space heaters. I’m lucky enough to live in a fairly neutral climate that isn’t overly hot or overly cold and so I can get by with having a window AC in the summer to let it in enough air to cool the house down, and a space heater in the winter to heat up the room enough to where I don’t get cold. So sure, my family can think I’m strange for not using a traditional heating and cooling system but if it works well for me to save me money that I see no issue with, I plan to continue to do exactly what ‘s working for me.

I have an oil furnace that is getting old and as a result of this it’s needed more and more repairs.

It was the space here to save me from the cold. When I first got my space heater I really doubted it but boy did it prove itself last week. I doubted the space heater when I first got it because I knew that the space heater would never be able to heat as well as my central heating system. I figured that I would always be relying on my central heating system and my space heater was just a mere backup if I needed it. Because my heating system was so good I never thought that I would ever have to actually use my space here, I bought it in case of an emergency but I didn’t put much faith into it. It wasn’t until my central heating and system stopped working that I was forced to use my space heater and that’s when my space heater really got it’s just a shine. I have an oil furnace that is getting old and as a result of this it’s needed more and more repairs. I had known it would come eventually but I didn’t know it would come so soon we would break down. After it broke down I immediately took out my space here to heat the house so I wouldn’t get cold. To my surprise the space heater heated the entire room and beyond it really well, they’re only supposed to be able to keep one room but my space heater heated a room and a half. I was really impressed and now I can see how some people use them as their entire heating system.
