Thinking about artificial intelligence and HVAC

When I was a kid, we had vastly different technology than what’s used by most people today.

Our phones alone were worlds apart from what is common right now, as most of the people I know have gravitated to smartphones without landlines at home.

Back in my early childhood, we had a single landline and a dial phone connected to it. It wasn’t until I reached high school age when my parents finally purchased a cordless landline phone for our house. These days I rarely see any kind of landline phones when I visit the homes of both friends and family members. I think most of us have switched to cell phone plans and end up forgoing the added expense of having a house phone as well. But phones are the only household fixtures that have evolved in the past few decades. Thermostats, the control systems for indoor HVAC, are vastly different now than they were in the 1990s for instance. We have these amazing smart thermostats that connect to the internet and can regulate your heating and cooling cycles without any of your direct involvement if that’s what you want. Or you can let it learn your habits and temperature preferences before putting it on an auto mode where the thermostat’s artificial intelligence creates a personalized cycle. When I was a kid, we had dial thermostats that had low temperatures on one end and high temperatures on the other. It’s staggering for me to think about these technological advancements in the world of HVAC temperature control. I love my new smart thermostat.

I want to experience good HVAC if I'm going to travel

When it became unbelievably expensive to travel both locally and around the country, I decided that I wouldn’t spend the money unless the trip made it worth the expense. That means comfortable travel, luxurious accommodations, and ultimate relaxation. If it means roughing it in a tent on land in a state park, there’s no sense in leaving the state because I can do that in any number of different similar locations in the immediate area. I did that a lot in college and quickly became sick of the entire experience. It’s one thing to do it when you’re trying to travel across another continent cheaply and without running out of cash before you’re due to fly back home. But now I want to enjoy the vacations more on a physical level since I’ve been to a lot of these locations before. I go skiing in the mountains, relaxing on a beach towel in the tropics, or trekking through a tall pine forest after a few hours in front of a cozy fireplace. If I’m going to venture out into the greater world, there’s no reason I can’t do it in comfort. A large part of that is having access to good indoor heating and cooling. A fireplace is great for winter holidays, but an air conditioner is equally important if I’m in a beach villa and I need to cool off after a few hours in the sun. I look for accommodations that have good reviews of HVAC systems or other forms of indoor heating and cooling. My wife is always thankful because she is equally frustrated by staying in hotels with poor air conditioners or furnaces inside.

Some AC filters are terrible about restricting airflow

My doctor diagnosed me with asthma after I had a reaction during cleaning the attic one afternoon.

  • He went through my history after listening to my lungs and decided that asthma would account for all of the symptoms I had been experiencing on and off over the years.

Originally he told me to use this inhaler whenever I experienced issues, but then he prescribed me nasal spray as well to help clear my sinuses. It helps if I’m ever having issues with my sinuses along with my respiratory system. I am happy to say that I only suffered from poor asthma symptoms a handful of times throughout my childhood, but things began to worsen in my 20s. I was quickly struggling to catch my breath during long shopping trips in the mall or after going up a flight or two of stairs. It’s hard nowadays to exist in a building with poor indoor air quality because of the immense effect it has on my ability to breathe normally. I am coughing just to catch my breath. That’s why I started using the strong air conditioner filters that are supposed to catch everything from dust to viral particles. Unfortunately, some of these air conditioner filters are so dense that they restrict air flow. Air flow restriction puts wear and tear on your air conditioner’s fan motor, along with raising your energy bills as the machine needs more of it to produce the same cooling effect. You have to be careful that your special allergen filter isn’t bad about restricting air flow in your HVAC system or you could end up with an entirely different problem on your hands.

If I was stuck on an island

I care about scenario based questions.

My child brought myself and others this question because the two of us care about to laugh in addition to guess of things.

What would I want if I was trapped on an island for the rest of my life? I get 5 things to choose from. If a shipwrecked on it do I get to those things as well? The sun would be beautiful however is that one of my 5 things? So several questions in addition to so several things I would want. I can say much more than 5 for sure! I told my child she would be one of them so I have 4 more things. A robot to make our food in addition to do all the work. If I’m going to be on an island I genuinely want to love that life. I have to prepare for warm in addition to cold mornings in addition to mornings as well. Weirdly I say a portable space heater. I can cool off in the water at any time so I don’t want to waste one of my last 2 things. What if that space oil furnace breaks in addition to have no one to repair it? What about electricity?!?!?!? My last 2 things I say to my child is some sort of electricity so I can use the space oil furnace in addition to a Heating in addition to A/C specialist. I suppose there will be someone else with us now. I take that back, the robot can repair the portable space oil furnace if it breaks. The robot will be our heating specialist. So I still have one thing left. I’m genuinely thinking tough on this one. I suppose the last thing would be our cat because he is family.

If I was trapped on this world

So I still have a single thing left

I love scenario based questions. My child brought myself and others this question because all of us love to laugh as well as think of things. What would I want if I was trapped on an island for the rest of my life? I get 5 things to choose from. If a shipwrecked on it do I get to those things as well? The sunshine would be charming but is that a single of my 5 things? So numerous questions as well as so numerous things I would want. I can say much more than 5 for sure, then i told my child she would be a single of them so I have 4 more things. A robot to make our food as well as do all the work. If I’m going to be on an island I entirely want to prefer that life. I have to prepare for tepid as well as cold days as well as afternoons as well. Weirdly I say a portable space heater. I can cool off in the water at any time so I don’t want to waste a single of my last 2 things. What if that space furnace breaks as well as have no a single to fix it? What about electricity?!?!?!? My last 2 things I say to my child is some sort of electricity so I can use the space furnace as well as a Heating as well as Air Conditioning specialist. I know there will be someone else with us now. I take that back, the robot can fix the portable space furnace if it breaks. The robot will be our heating specialist. So I still have a single thing left. I’m entirely thinking strenuous on this a single. I know the last thing would be our dog because he is family.

My last 2 things I say to my child is some sort of electricity so I can use the space gas furnace plus a Heating, Ventilation plus A/C specialist. I believe there will be someone else with us now. I take that back, the robot can service the portable space gas furnace if it breaks. The robot will be our heating specialist. So I still have 1 thing left. I’m genuinely thinking hard on this 1.

Long afternoon plus I’m exhausted

I spent all afternoon outside.

As a roofer I am in all sorts of weather conditions.

It’s awful work. I’m up at the crack of dawn plus periodically not back condo till the sunshine sets. I toil a lot while I was in the Summer plus less while I was in the winters so I usually take winters off plus relax plus spend much needed time with family plus friends. I am far away from that cut though. Currently it’s mid August plus it’s been silly moderate out. I have a nice tan going on plus I’d fit right in with the people that live in the south. I have my own “man cave” in which I localed a portable air conditioning unit in it. My family doesn’t love the air conditioner as much as I do. I can’t blame them though. They don’t spend minutes in the heat. I need plus want it freezing in my room. The air quality is perfect. The rest of the condo is set to 67 degrees but it’s not cool enough for me. The little unit is pumping air out at 61 degrees. I only spend a little time in this room catching up on a cable show right before the wife finishes up supper. When supper is finished I spend the rest of the evening with the family. Every one of us talked about our afternoon plus my wife asked if I tied up a Heating & A/C specialist to do the heating maintenance. I think I don’t want to hear that but it is going to be colder soon plus both of us need to make sure everything is up in laboring order. Just thinking about it makes me dizzy.

The first the holidays after the heat pump installation

By the time Christmas rolled in, I had modern heating, and the quality of indoor comfort had significantly increased

Both of us had been absolutely tied up with Thanksgiving and working that both of us completely forgot to schedule an appointment with the Heating plus A/C professional to do the furnace maintenance. If they had done the tune-up, they would have realized the program had significant faults and advised us to replace it because it broke down a month after the holidays. I was woken up one morning by the chilly air in the house. While still dazed from sleep and cold, I discovered my smart control component had also gone off. I needed help with indoor comfort and fast! Fortunately, the heating companies operate 24 sevenths every day. They booked an appointment for the following day. When the heating professional had finished assessing the unit, he declared that the component was done and could no longer function. They referred me to a heating supplier famous for dealing in affordable units. The company also has heating dealers all over the neighborhood that deal with quality systems that provide whole-apartment heating. I purchased a heat pump and stressed the heat pump installation for later that day. I was not spending another night in the cold house. It would be Christmas in a few mornings, and I was glad my component acted up before the professionals closed for the holidays. The specialists knew more about heating and advised me on operating my modern component and its benefits. There was also an application I would use to book repair appointments. The heating industry has gone through incredible transformations over the years. By the time Christmas rolled in, I had modern heating, and the quality of indoor comfort had significantly increased. Both of us did get the Christmas cheer and spirit. I invited my family over for supper, and both of us loved playing in the snow and then coming in to moderate up.

I wanted to try radiant flooring

So imagine our delight when I felt the radiant heated flooring.

Ever since I had heard of heated flooring, I constantly wanted to try it! The concept sounded so cool, and I was so amazed at how far technology, including Heating, Ventilation & A/C technology, had come, then i never thought of a gas furnace for using the floor, it absolutely was a great idea… However, both of us had a great central gas furnace, and since both of us didn’t constantly have a lot of money, there was no way both of us could spend it on getting something both of us absolutely didn’t need, and so even though I constantly wanted to try radiant heated flooring, I didn’t believe I would ever get the opportunity to. I actually did get blessed enough to try heated flooring though, when our hotel room had it! When our husband and I stayed briefly at a hotel, both of us didn’t guess of this additional heating method. So imagine our delight when I felt the radiant heated flooring. I was super excited! It was not strenuous at all for myself and others to get cozy on the floor. I sat cross legged in front of the cable with a sizzling drink and enjoyed myself. After getting to experience what the heated flooring felt like, I knew it was actually something I wanted in our future, when both of us had more money. I was actually quite nervous when both of us had to leave the hotel, the heating plan was so luxurious, and I wanted a single of our own, however but most likely, I will just have to settle for the central heating and A/C component.

If you're looking for a great gift to try a thermostat

She says that the smart thermostat is the best thing ever.

If you are looking for a great gift that will definitely not be duplicated, then I would recommend buying a thermostat. My parents were having a big anniversary this year, and I didn’t want to get them something that everybody else would get them. I decided that I wanted to get them a smart thermostat for their HVAC system. I thought that this would definitely be something different that no one else would ever even think about getting them. I mean, my brother and I are probably the only people around who even knew that they were a little bit interested in updating their HVAC system at all. My brother got them a weekend away at a spa and so it was left up to me to find and purchase this great new smart thermostat for their house. I thought that my dad would probably really like it because he is very interested in technology and he was also sick and tired of their old thermostat. However, it turned out that my mother was the one who actually loved it even more. She loves the way that she can control the heating and cooling system from her smartphone anywhere at all as long as she is connected to Wi-fi. She says that the smart thermostat is the best thing ever. She told me that she now wishes that they had gotten a smart thermostat years ago. I’m just really glad that they both ended up liking it. I was taking a chance on it, that’s for sure. You never know what the reaction will be when you’re buying some sort of appliance.
