The Heating & AC Blog

My son was in the Army and spent the last year in the Middle East, in the desert.

When he came home, it was early spring, but the temperatures were still in the low fifties. He was shivering, even with the furnace on. My daughter came home from school one afternoon and asked where Bryan was. I told her he was in his room. She ran up the stairs without even saying hello. She knocked on his door, and all he said was enter. She pulled a box from behind her and told him happy birthday. He said his birthday wasn’t for another month, but she wasn’t going to wait. She had stopped at the store on the way home and bought him a space heater. She noticed how cold he was all the time, and thought an extra space heater for his room would give him some comfort. He told her to sit with him a while, then opened the space heater. I saw the first real smile he had when he came downstairs an hour later. He had his arm around his sister, and they were talking like they did before he joined the Army. i saw a genuine friendship there, and he asked if I knew what she gave him for his birthday. I shook my head. He said he got a new space heater for his room. For the first time since he got home, he was finally warm. If we could only erase the haunted look in his eyes as easily as the space heater erased his cold.

I would gratefully repair the HVAC system if he would turn up the heat on the dance floor so my buddies would want to leave earlier.

I hated bachelor parties, and the fact that it was my bachelor party didn’t make it any easier. They took me to a strip joint, that I didn’t enjoy. It was cold and I was miserable. I walked up to the bar and asked for a double of whatever they had. He asked if I wasn’t having fun? I told him I didn’t like bars, and I was only drinking to stay warm. He said there was a bachelor party going on, and he was sure they wouldn’t mind if I joined in. I looked at him and he laughed when I told him I was the bachelor they were celebrating. I showed him a picture of my fiance and asked if he wouldn’t prefer to be with a girl like that instead of here. He gave me two more doubles and said the HVAC technician was on the way, and to take it easy with the drinking. I asked how long before the HVAC technician arrived. He said it would be a couple of hours. I told him I was an HVAC technician. I would gratefully repair the HVAC system if he would turn up the heat on the dance floor so my buddies would want to leave earlier. He said he would do me one better. He let me fix the HVAC system and said the bill was on him. He then offered to flag all the guys in the party because they had already been drinking when they came in. I thanked him, fixed the HVAC system, and waited for him to kick them all out.

air conditioner tune-up

My spouse Ed is going to a hockey tournament trip for a week starting this weekend. Edl enjoys skating however will never be a professional. Ed enjoys to play with her friends as well as they have won some small tournaments around the country. I do like that Ed gets away from time to time. I value those afternoons when I have time alone as well as can spend time with my friends however if Ed’s gone for 3 or more afternoons, then I absolutely start to miss him. This time when Ed goes on her next hockey tournament which is expected to be about a week I will be having an HVAC team install radiant floors in the house. I made an appointment with the HVAC company a few weeks back. I am so happy as well as I am sure my spouse will be glad when she sees it after the hockey tournament. I figured this would be a great addition to our lakeside house since she says her feet are always cold. Makes sense to myself and others since Ed is always in her skates on the ice. So the foyer, study room, lavatory, study room as well as study room are going to be checked. I thought about having the spare study room done as well however Ed and I hardly go in there as well as it’s precious that anyone comes over. I believe down the line I’ll really get it done. Heated floors throughout the new home are going to be amazing as well as I also will be happy to walk barefoot on them when the HVAC tech completes them. I wish Ed would leave right now so I can get the radiant floors installed although I have to be patient.

I got a call earlier this week about an issue with an HVAC system.

• Just another routine Wednesday I guess.

Something was wrong with the thermostat or gas furnace or whatever. I’m not feeling genuinely distraught because it’s just another afternoon, another dollar as well as of course, it’s yet another task. I arrived around 11 am Wednesday as well as this younger girl named Josh answered the door. Josh was wearing a hoodie with shorts as well as flip flops as well as said, “get in, it’s chilly out there.” I find that kind of peculiar that she is wearing shorts as well as flip flops since Josh is the one who said she was chilly waking up with a possible gas furnace problem. No matter, it’s not my task to judge people, however to repair the issue so Josh here can live comfortably. So I noticed that the dial gas furnace was turned to 78 degrees however the home now was at fifty degrees. It’s absolutely getting colder in here. So I took a look at the central HVAC system as well as after some work knew that the system was shot as well as the main reason is that the old air filters haven’t been changed in forever. There was so much dust as well as dog hair on these that I was surprised the HVAC system didn’t break sooner. I asked Josh, “when was the last time your air filters were changed?” Josh just shrugged as well as said she has been here for over 5 years as well as not once they have been changed.” I had to tell Josh that I had terrible news as well as that a new HVAC system will need to be put in as well as she didn’t seem glad at all. Josh had to call her roommate as well as after a few hours she asked me, ”what’s the disfigure?”

Wednesdays, you got to like them! Actually, you don’t have to – however it’s the first afternoon of the work week.

• This afternoon I woke up to a very chilly home as well as didn’t understand why my roommate didn’t turn the thermostat up to 78 degrees like it has done in the past.

Ed gets up usually an hour or so before I do so she knows that I like it a little warmer when I wake up. Ed and I both like the coolness of the night to sleep although I need that warmth to get out of bed. I can only believe that Ed forgot since my friend and I both were up so late last night enjoying a movie. I told Ed she should’ve gone to bed as well as my friend and I could’ve finished it this week however nope, Ed wanted to finish it. Regardless, now I have to deal with the cool hot as well as cold temps of the house. So I looked at the dial thermostat as well as it was set to 78 degrees. Now I’m a wee bit puzzled. I believe she did turn up the heat however it’s absolutely not 78 degrees in this house. The home temperature control says 62 degrees as well as I know something is wrong. I didn’t genuinely want to do it although I always use excuses to get out of work so I called the HVAC corporation. They said they have very little availability in a few hours as well as I’ll see a heating worker then. I was glad they could transfer so fast on this. I would hate to wake up again tomorrow afternoon with the same issues. The heating worker showed up a few hours later as well as examined the HVAC system. She said, “that the gas furnace is dead as well as when was the last time your air filters were cleaned?” Disappointed, I asked, “what’s the problem?”

I woke up early this week as well as I am weary. It was a late night last night as well as I have to get prepped and motivated for work now. I genuinely shouldn’t have watched that movie last night, especially late on a Wednesday night. I am always weary on Wednesdays as well as this week just feels so much worse since I had less sleep now. I reached over for my vape pen as well as took a deep drag as well as it was empty. How perfect, absolutely not a good start to my afternoon. I know that I still had time for work so I prepared myself to leave a bit early so I could buy a new vape pen, but before I left I turned the thermostat up to 77 degrees for my roommate Jim. Jim enjoys it to be a bit sizzling when she gets up. Which is good as well as she does not get up for another hour. The store is just 3 blocks down the road, simple walking distance. I dislike wasting gas if I know I can walk it in a few minutes. So I did the walk. When I arrived there was a sign on the door as well as it read, “closed until further notice.” What? This is my place to go to. They have the best vape pens I require. I like this place as well as every time I walked in I felt that air conditioning. I would periodically on weekends spend hours there. Now it might be gone forever. This is a blow for sure. As I started to walk away I saw the owner walking up to the shop as well as I asked what happened. She told me, “no worries, just shutting down for a few afternoons until the new HVAC system is installed.” I felt relieved although I know I’ll have to hurry up as well as get back to the lake house to rush to another store before work now.

I’m so pumped that this week is Wednesday.

Waking up at 9 am, relaxing, drinking Tim Hortons Coffee as well as catching the news on my smartphone.

It’s absolutely going to be a good afternoon. It’s snowing heavily outside like it has the last few afternoons as well as it’s getting to be around 2 feet now. I know in some parts of the states, everything will be shut down however not where I live. I see some people joyriding on their snowmobiles, teenagers throwing snowballs as well as the occasional truck or car driving down the road sliding all over the place. Those people genuinely need to buy snow tires or stay home. I could drive my truck if I like to however I’m genuinely not a huge fan of driving in awful conditions especially after seeing how other people drive. All of a sudden I hear a loud shriek. It was my neighbor, Steve. A little terrified I put my iphone down, grabbed my snow boots as well as did my best to get to Steve’s house. The snow made it genuinely tricky for myself and others to get over there, usually takes myself and others about a minute however really half a hour with all this snow. I knocked on Steve’s door hard as well as shouted, “are you ok?” Steve opened the door as well as said, “there is a spider in my portable space natural gas furnace as well as I don’t know what to do.” My scared face turned into a quizzical face absolutely suddenly. Lucky for Steve I’m an HVAC worker as well as I said I can look at it quickly. She was distraught about a nest being in it. In my mind I was laughing at the situation. I genuinely didn’t know why she has a portable space gas furnace to begin with. She has central heating system after all. After examining her gas furnace there was nothing to be afraid of. I told Steve it must have been a one off as well as everything should be good going forward.
