The Heating & AC Blog

When I had to have a brand new heating and air conditioning system installed I was nervous.

I knew that the heating and cooling business knew what they were doing but I still couldn’t help but to worry that something would somehow go wrong.

I had carefully picked out this heating and air conditioning system and I spent a lot of time working on it and ensuring that it would be well taken care of. I must have asked the heating and air conditioning professionals a million questions before I decided to go through with the purchase. Now the big day to have my old HVAC system removed and the new one installed has come. I’m really excited but also really nervous. When the heating and air conditioning professional arrived at my home ready to install it I let him in and let him get to work. He wasn’t alone and he had brought another heating and air conditioning worker with him. The two of them spent the next two hours working on the installation. When they were done the demonstrated to me how it worked and I was relieved and happy to see that everything seemed to be in perfect working order. I could finally relax knowing that my heating and cooling system was working exactly as it was supposed to and was well maintained. Now I could spend the rest of my time enjoying it. How lucky I am to have a heating and air conditioning system like this.

Sometimes heating air conditioning technology has its downsides.

When I was leaving to go to work this morning it was so foggy I could hardly see anything.

So I turned on the air conditioning system in my car and hoped that it would make some of the fog around my windshield clear. I guess I don’t know anything about how fog works because that only made it worse! It was really hot and humid out and yet somehow it was foggy too? I was confused. I thought fog was something that only happened during cold weather. Everything went well and I managed to navigate my way through the phone. But when I got to work everything fell apart, it was very nice I had the office building and I was making it very hard to concentrate on getting any work done when all I could think about was how hot and sweaty I was. The manager of the building informed us that we were having trouble with the heating and air conditioning system and that the AC is not working. Most people were pretty upset and there was lots of groaning, I have to say it has to be one of the longest days that I have endured. When I got home the first thing I did was crash on my couch and lay underneath my air conditioning system. I love having my cooling system so when I arranged the furniture in my home I put the couch directly under the air vent. As a result of this I have excellent air conditioning that can be enjoyed at any time.

My boss is a pretty decent guy and he is very flexible and kind.

• When my girlfriend went into labor, he gave me seven days of paid leave and a gift card for $100 for my girlfriend and the baby.

When I needed someone to help me get a car, my boss gave me an advance on my paycheck so I had enough money for the down payment. My girlfriend and I have not had a lot of money since we had to buy a new car and have the baby. It’s been difficult to keep a good budget so I have been working as much overtime as possible. The boss needed someone to work on Sunday and I knew it was going to be the only day that I had with my girlfriend. I really didn’t want to work 7 days and go right back to work on Monday again so I did not raise my hand to offer assistance. No one else raised their hand either. The boss finally said that he would offer a bonus to the person that offered to work. As soon as I heard the word bonus, I thought about diapers and wipes and I raised my hand up high. I told my boss that I would work but only because the baby needed diapers. Everyone in the office laughed, but I was telling the truth. When I was done with the repairs that day, my boss told me to check the glove box in the repair vehicle. He said he left something for me inside. Inside of the glove box was a Visa gift card for $500 and a note that said I am going to get a promotion very soon.

air conditioning maintenance

My wife and I had a brand new AC system installed in the beginning of may.

Last year was a hard summer for the machine due to all of the storms.

There was a ton of humidity in the air and the air conditioning system had to work extremely hard to keep up. In May, I had a brand new AC unit installed including an air compressor and new evaporator coils. I never anticipated that I would have to replace the system so quickly. Sadly, last week there was a hurricane with wind gusts up to 80 miles an hour. A tree in the backyard fell over the fence and right on top of the outdoor AC compressor. The tree was so heavy that it smashed through the roof and the side of the house and down on top of the AC compressor. There was so much damage that we had to call an emergency contractor to put a tarp on the roof and cover the areas. I was worried that water damage would cause even more problems. After the tree fell on the AC compressor, I had to contract my insurance company to see if they would cover the damages. I was thankful that they would cover the damages including the new AC unit, roof, garage, and patio. The insurance company also covered the costs of brand new shingles for the entire roof. The old shingles have a different color than the new ones that we picked so they had to pay for shingles on the entire roof of the house.

A few months ago, I decided to install a backup generator at the office. One of the worst problems that can happen is the power going out. When the power goes out, we lose all access to our data and work has to stop. Last year I decided to install a generator that can run all of the office systems. The generator was easily one of the best ideas that I have ever had. I did not realize that the generator would work so easily and seamlessly. As soon as the power goes out, the backup generator automatically comes on. I had the HVAC company work with the electrician to make sure that all of the components were installed correctly. I didn’t want to take any chances, so I paid both contractors to consult on the job. The power was out last weekend for 6 hours and I had my first opportunity to see how well the generator works. As soon as the power went out, the generator came right on. So did the air conditioning system which had been running at the time when the power shut off. The backup generator cost me a fortune, but I already see how it’s going to pay off in the end. If I don’t have to shut down for any reason, then I don’t have to pay employees to stand around and I don’t have to explain to my customers why their service contracts are delayed. The generator for the heating and AC system changed everything for me.

The two guys worked on the boiler issue together and fixed the problem with ease

I heard a strange noise coming from the boiler, so I contacted the commercial HVAC business that handles all of our heating and cooling needs. I didn’t want the boiler to shut down in the middle of a job. I have a good relationship with the local heating and AC business. I know the owner very well, and I get excellent service and great rates. I called the company when I heard their strange noise coming from the boiler. I spoke directly with the owner of the company. He told me that he was going to send a new technician. I asked if the new technician could handle the problem. The owner of the heating and AC repair business told me that everything would be just fine. Everything did not seem fine when the young man looked like a deer in the headlights. He honestly didn’t seem like he had any idea at all how to fix the problem. In fact, I heard the young man on the phone with another repair technician. About 30 minutes later, a second person arrived. The second technician was much older and looked like he had more experience. The two guys worked on the boiler issue together and fixed the problem with ease. After the repair was finished, the boiler was no longer making the noises. I don’t know if the young man would have been able to fix the problem on his own, but I was certainly glad that he decided to call for help instead of using my commercial boiler as a test subject.

Cleaning is an important part of heating and air conditioning maintenance. Think of all the various components and moving parts that make up the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system you rely on so much. One way that HVAC systems are kept clean is the ubiquitous air filter. Every kind of HVAC system, big or small, simple or complex, requires air filtration to continue to function properly. Contrary to common beliefs, climate control air filters are not meant to filter or clean the air you breathe in your home. That is done by using air purifiers. HVAC air filters filter out the foreign particles in the inner workings of your system, including dust, dirt, and hair. More advanced air filters are more efficient and can even capture finer particles like pollen, mold, and other allergens. It’s a shame that people forget to change these air filters on a regular basis, as this causes all sorts of unnecessary and easily avoidable problems to arise. Other parts of your HVAC system benefit from cleaning. Dirty evaporator coils, for example, will hinder an HVAC unit’s ability to properly cool down your home, and this can be a big issue. You should also keep the condensor free of dirt and yard debris that can hinder the fan blades from spinning or cause other problems. Call your local HVAC company for a maintenance visit and ask what kind of cleaning is included. Your air ducts may also need to be cleaned, which is a service that is often provided at a reasonable price.
