The last time I had called the local heating and air conditioning company to come out and give my central heat and a/c unit a tune up and check up their HVAC specialist arrived about a half an hour early! This was not expected and it was a good thing I happened to be home. I did not complain though, because the fact that they arrived early was better than being late. At the very worst, since they were early, they would have had to wait until the actual time before being able to leave and say no one was home. I was actually impressed by the heating and air conditioning specialist being that early. And I was even more impressed of how well the heat and a/c specialist went and did the heating and cooling tune up on my central heat and air conditioning unit. It was very detailed with no issues what so ever. And I was charged a flat rate, so the heating and air conditioning specialist could take their time and ensure there was not any issues brewing with my central heating and cooling unit that would make it break down anytime in the near future. After all, that is the point of a heating and air conditioning system tune up and check up right? So I am very pleased with the service I received. I was just taken back a bit at the heating and cooling specialist being a half an hour early. But again, that is not a bad thing at all. It shows dedication and good business actually!
The big haul
When you are moving to a new home there is a lot of things to do for the move. Some can be a pretty big headache. The last time I moved my biggest headache was having to move my central heating and air conditioning system! The movers I hired wanted way too much extra money to move the central heating and air conditioning system. So I had to move it on my own, which was quite a task. I called on the help of a few friends who happen to work in the trucking business, so they had the equipment needed to haul this monster central heating and air conditioning system to my new home. But it was anything but easy. They had to pull a huge truck up on the grass and then get this super huge dollie type thing with a hook to attach to the truck just to wheel it off the property! Then from there, they had to move the central heating and air conditioning system up into the truck and then release the dollie type thing. Then once arrived at my new home, it was more or less the same exact process all over again but in reverse. It took well over 3 hours to move just one central heating and air conditioning system. Then, the next headache was having to call the heating and air conditioning company to schedule a time for them to send out one of their most certified heat and a/c specialist teams to install the central heating and cooling unit into my new home. I’m never moving again!
I love technology
This is by the way of being able to operate the smart thermostat from an app on your cell phone from virtually anywhere in the entire world! Not that anyone would need or want to turn their central heating and air conditioning system off and on if they are away visiting another country or even state
I can not begin to tell you how much I love today’s heating and air conditioning technology. Especially most of all the smart thermostat! Ever since the smart thermostat has come along my life has become so much easier when it comes to running my central heating and air conditioning system. It even has helped in reducing my energy bills because of how the smart thermostat can run the central heating and air conditioning system. With it being smart technology and with it being a programmable thermostat you can more or less program it to go on and off at the times you really know you need your central heating or cooling. Also, what helps in using less energy is you can turn off your central heating and air conditioning system when you are going to be out of the house for a while, and then turn it back on shortly before you know you are coming home. This is by the way of being able to operate the smart thermostat from an app on your cell phone from virtually anywhere in the entire world! Not that anyone would need or want to turn their central heating and air conditioning system off and on if they are away visiting another country or even state. But it is possible! That is how advanced the HVAC technology that brought us the smart thermostat is. I do not know what I would do without it today because I have become so spoiled with it. If they took away my smart thermostat I would be totally lost!
It can work itself out
I have been totally amazed by these new smart heating and air conditioning systems that have smart air vents! It is one of those things where if your air flow is not right with your heating or air conditioning, the smart air vents will fix it.
More or less, it will work itself out! I can not say enough how amazing today’s heating and cooling technology is. Heat and a/c technology like this was not even possible back in the day. I would have never imagined that all those years later you would be having central heating and air conditioning systems that could detect bad air flow and have the air vents move themselves and fix the problem! It is amazing what computer technology can do today. I have never seen anything like it. As a matter of fact the first time I saw it at a friend’s house I thought I was dreaming. It was something out of one of those sci fi movies from back in the day. But this was very real and it is today’s heating and air conditioning technology. Boy have things changed over the decades since I was a kid and even a young adult. You would have never thought something like a smart central heating and air conditioning system was even possible in those days. Like I mentioned, it would be pure science fiction movie material in those days. How far we have come with heating and air conditioning technology. Who knows what on earth tomorrow will bring? I guess we all have to wait to see and find out!
I have no complaints
With the radiant heated floors they are powered by mostly hot water pipes under the tile flooring
I recently invested and took a chance on getting radiant heated floors for my home. I have to tell you that I have no complaints. The radiant heated floors are all I expected plus more! I really was taking a chance here on investing the large amount of money that I did in radiant heated floors. I was not sure if it was going to be good or bad. I read all kinds of things about radiant heated floors. Some positive, and some were not so positive. Thankfully, the positive is what I have experienced so far with my radiant heated floors. The radiant heated floors really warm up my entire house! I had nearly every single room done up in radiant heated floors. Which is why it was very expensive and a big investment on my part. But the radiant heated floors are super awesome to say the least. I have saved a lot of money on energy use compared to what I used to pay for cranking the central heating in the cold winter months of the year. And also the radiant heated floors heating is much better than that of a central heating and air conditioning system unit. Because the heating that comes out of central heaters is rather dry. With the radiant heated floors they are powered by mostly hot water pipes under the tile flooring. So this way it is not such a dry heat coming out. I have not experienced this kind of wonderful and comfortable heating ever in my whole entire full life! I really suggest to everyone to get radiant heated floors if you can afford the investment.
Working for the first time
Starting a new career as a heating and air conditioning specialist is not the most easy thing in the world.
Even after going to heating and cooling school and passing, your first day on the job and actually going to repair some central heating and air conditioning systems can be pretty scary! At least it was for me.
However, I got very lucky in the fact that the heating and air conditioning company I went to work for had a policy set up for up and coming new heat and a/c workers like me. That was to have a well seasoned and professional heating and air conditioning specialist come with me on my first week of jobs assigned to make sure I am comfortable and doing everything right. This was a real relief! I have to say that it made it very relaxed and easy to do. I kinda felt like I was in another part of heating and air conditioning school doing hands on HVAC repair training, except it wasn’t training, it was the real deal! And I have to say it went smooth as ever and I was so happy about this. I do not think I would have managed to do such a great job had they not sent a well experienced of many years heating and air conditioning specialist out with me on all jobs that first week. I have now been working as a heat and a/c specialist for a little over a month and I am totally into it and doing quite well. I really lucked out!
I think i’ll keep it
To hell with all that bull! I am not going to spend thousands of dollars on a brand new, up to date, extremely expensive and trendy central heating and air conditioning system just to be or look cool with people! For my air conditioning I actually use window a/c units like it was decades ago.
I have had an old hot water boiler for a long time now and had been thinking about getting with the times and buying a full on, brand new and very up to date central heating and air conditioning system. However, after thinking about it more, my hot water boiler still works super great after all these years so why waste a huge investment on a central heating and air conditioning system that is going to die in 15 years while this hot water boiler has lasted well over 20 years! It just makes no sense. If it aint broke, don’t fix it! That’s what I have always lived by. I guess I maybe had got caught up in all this heating and cooling technology. I am not one to go with trends just for the sake of it or to look cool. To hell with all that bull! I am not going to spend thousands of dollars on a brand new, up to date, extremely expensive and trendy central heating and air conditioning system just to be or look cool with people! For my air conditioning I actually use window a/c units like it was decades ago. And you know what? Those window air conditioning units work just as good too! I will not be upgrading to the latest and greatest in heating and air conditioning technology. Why? Because first off I do not have that kind of money to blow. And secondly, I really don’t need it. It will do me no good and it will also raise my electric bills.
