The Quietest Air Conditioners

I told my husband that as long as the place had some closets somewhere and a couple of bedrooms, we would definitely make it work

Five years ago, my wife and I bought a house without even seeing it first. We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into at first and most of our friends and family told us that we were just plain crazy for trying it to begin with! I honestly kind of agreed with them at that point because this was way more of a risk than I am usually willing to take in life. Usually I am a very focused and straight laced person who doesn’t ever want to take a risk. However, we needed to hurry up and move because of a new job that my husband had taken and we didn’t have time to travel all the way out there to a different state to look at houses. We found one online that we thought would be a good fit for us, and we just went for it. The only thing that we were super concerned about was the HVAC system and the house had radiant heated flooring throughout the first floor in the bedrooms, the bathrooms, and the kitchen. It also boasted a wood burning fireplace in the living room and another gas log fireplace in the master bedroom. I told my husband that as long as the place had some closets somewhere and a couple of bedrooms, we would definitely make it work. Now, we have been living in the house for almost five years and we are still loving the house. The HVAC system in the house is way better than we ever thought it would end up being.

My doctor inspected myself and others with asthma after I had a reaction during cleaning the attic one day. He went through my history after listening to my lungs as well as decided that asthma would account for all of the symptoms I had been experiencing on as well as off over the years. Originally he told myself and others to use this inhaler whenever I experienced troubles, but then he prescribed myself and others nasal spray as well to help clear my sinuses. It helps if I’m ever having troubles with my sinuses along with my respiratory system. I am ecstatic to say that I only suffered from terrible 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 several of stairs. It’s strenuous nowadays to exist in a building with terrible indoor air quality because of the sizable 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 conditioning filters that are supposed to catch everything from dust to viral particles. Unluckyly, some of these air conditioning filters are so dense that they restrict air flow. Air flow restriction puts wear as well as tear on your air conditioning’s fan motor, along with raising your quarterly bills as the component 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 Heating as well as Air Conditioning plan or you could end up with an truly odd problem on your hands.

One of our earliest memories from early childhood was helping our mother in our vegetable garden in the backyard.

I planted zucchini seeds in addition to watched with bewildered amazement as they began to sprout more than 2 weeks later.

We eventually widened the garden in addition to added watermelons, pumpkins, in addition to a flower patch. I loved reading all about agriculture in addition to gardening while experiencing the fruits of our work when it was time to harvest in the Autumn. My mom told me to keep our expectations tempered when all of us started the project, although I was already happy by the result when all of us had our first batch of watermelons. They were easily sweet in addition to delicious! These mornings I don’t live in an environment that is hospitable to plants, so I had to make a greenhouse for our backyard to protect our plants from the intense UV rays. Unfortunately, this greenhouse can get harshly warm in the Summer without nice ventilation. I use fans to push air in from outside to keep the un-even temperatures a little cooler inside. It’s not a immense change in the temperature, but at least the air isn’t stagnant inside. I can’t imagine ever going so far as using an air conditioner in our greenhouse because the utility bills would be enormous. But at least with the fans, all of us have a nice breeze that moves into the greenhouse on a single end in addition to it is able to exit on the other end. The plants truly seem to be growing better with the change in ventilation. Without the fans running, some of our plants were wilting from the sheer amount of heat inside the greenhouse.

Converting the basement into a rec room was a wild idea I had been kicking around for years.

When COVID hit I was homebound for weeks on end, and decided to put my crazy idea into practice.

I say it was crazy because I know almost nothing about home renovation. I was a novice, and my only experience came from watching Youtube videos of people doing their own home renovations. Since I had the time I wanted to give it a try. My first issue was with the air conditioning. I had never spent more than a few minutes at a time in the basement, so the lack of A/C vents never occurred to me. Now that I wanted to be down here for long periods of time I would need a climate control system for it. There is a large, old furnace in the corner of the basement, so there will never be a problem when it comes to heating. The A/C unit is located upstairs, and there is no ductwork connecting it to the basement. Thanks to the furnace this area is often very muggy and warm, so if I want to spend any amount of time having fun down here I will need an efficient cooling unit. I shopped around and found a few small, ductless mini-split A/C units, but the basement is very large so I may need to buy two of them. It won’t be cheap, but if I want this rec room to be any good, I will need air conditioning.

It took almost an entire year, but finally I got to use my brick fireplace! I live so far down south that sometimes a whole year will go by with no cold weather at all.

Our winters tend to be very short and mild, which is why so many “snowbird” senior citizens flock here in the winter months.

I bought this house partially because it had a beautiful brick fireplace in the sunken living room. Call it silly if you must, but this is something I have always wanted. I lived here for 11 months before we got our first cold snap, and you better believe I got that fireplace blazing every single night the temps were low. I turned off the central heating system, and then cracked a window to let in a breeze. The fireplace catches so much faster if there is a crossbreeze to feed the flames. After a couple hours I noticed how cold the rest of the house was. The fireplace kept the entire room toasty and warm, but had no effect on the bedrooms or bathrooms. I had to turn the furnace back on, because I was too cold to go pee! The following few nights I built a fire every evening, but this time I left the furnace on, just for the side rooms. I know it seems silly to run the furnace while using the fireplace and having a window open, but so what? I won’t get to use the fireplace for another year, so I want to enjoy it while I can.

When my wife got a major promotion at work, she tearfully told me that we would have to move across the country.

I gave her a big hug and congratulated her.

We both work, but my wife is fantastically successful in the business world and I am more of a blue-collar guy. I would miss a couple of my good friends, but I had no problem moving to a new city. Because I am certified at HVAC service and repair, I knew that no matter where we went I could find a great new job in a matter of days. This is one of the many benefits in this line of work, because fixing an air conditioner in one place is the same as fixing it in another. My HVAC certification transfers with me no matter where I go, like a college degree. After we moved, I managed to get several great job leads on my first day looking! I visited three different local HVAC contractors and explained that I was new to the area, but I had my certification and six years of experience in the field. All three of these HVAC contractors asked me to come in for a formal interview. Even if I don’t get a permanent full-time gig as an HVAC tech, one of them will certainly have some freelance work for me. This is another benefit to being HVAC certified, because now these contractors have the option to subcontract me, and pay me per job, instead of putting me on salary. I love being an HVAC tech!

I have been divorced for quite a number of years, and one of the things that my husband would always talk about doing while we were married was going camping.

I am not really all that interested in going camping. Most of the women I know do not want to go camping. We like to have things that make our lives comfortable such as blow dryers for the hair, toilets for the business, and heating and cooling. I am a big fan of having a bathroom and air conditioning, for example. I do live in the Southeast, so I do not find having a heating system as important as having a good working air conditioner. These days, though, the heating and cooling come together as one operational unit, so I always have both when I need them. Well, not long ago, a friend of mine asked me if I wanted to go camping. I looked at this person like he was from another planet and said, “ do you know me at all?” Well, it turned out, he does know me. He knows me better than my husband did! How do I know? Because he explained to me that camping has come a long way, and it is now known as glamping. Glamping means glamorous camping. You basically go to a campground or state park, and there is a glamping selection that has either cabins or fancy tents. Whether you choose to get the 10th or the cabin, you are going to get air conditioning In the summer and a furnace to use in the winter. You might even get a gorgeous fireplace. There might be a chandelier hanging over the bed. There might be a refrigerator with steaks and champagne supplied in it. All of these things are amazing and wonderful, but nothing is as good as having air conditioning and heating! I have discovered that when I learned about glamping and its awesome Heating and Cooling methods, suddenly camping became for me.

When I was looking to replace my central air conditioner, I discovered a ductless air conditioner when I went for a consultation at the air conditioning business.

I had my climate control system for fifteen years and considered replacing it. The system had become inefficient, and it seemed as though I was constantly dealing with one a/c repair after another. I sort the help of an air conditioning professional. They all recommended a ductless air conditioning install. My previous HVAC was consuming so much energy while trying to provide whole home heating and cooling, so being efficient, I opted for this quality HVAC equipment. Like my previous system, this one also requires regular a/c service. This unit’s most significant advantage is that it doesn’t depend on vents or ducts like the other units. Most techs will prefer working on this unit to others since they do not have any ductwork. My trip to the air conditioning company was more fruitful than I had anticipated. I even had the opportunity to learn about different air conditioning filters. The a/c repairman in charge of the installation was also the one who had installed my previous system. Now and then, he was the one who responded to my a/c care calls. The other thing they added to the a/c setup was a digital thermostat that proved more accurate. The system is quiet, cost-effective, more efficient, and lasts longer. I have been able to pay it back with the financial assistance provided by the company. I love it so much that I organized to install it at my parents’ home.

My brother had always wanted to open a restaurant for as long as I could remember.

• Growing up, my parents noticed that my brother was interested in cooking.

They enrolled him in culinary school after he finished high school. He worked all around the world and with some of the most renowned chefs in the industry. After years of learning from the best, one day, he announced that he was opening his restaurant during dinner. He approached me and asked if I could use my skills as an a/c repairman to provide quality indoor comfort in the restaurant. I have been in the air conditioning business since my brother left high school. He explained that he had gotten a venue, and the renovations were underway. A central air conditioner would be ideal from the research I carried out on the building. The air conditioning company was running a sale, and I took full advantage to get a state-of-the-art climate control device. I mobilized my team of air conditioning professionals to help with the air conditioner installation. We had to wait for the renovations to fit the new quality HVAC equipment. We got an ideal location for the air conditioning install. As the air conditioning business’s rules dictate, we advise the customer on the importance of a/c service. I gave the maintenance manager a booklet showing him how to schedule a/c care and the number to call in case of an a/c repair. Taking him through how to operate the digital thermostat took very little time. We used the best air conditioning filter. The restaurant opened three months later, and we were all there to support my brother. He had finally achieved his long-life dream, and we were here to experience it.

Since then, I have taken a/c care seriously and replaced the air conditioning filter as often as necessary

When the central air conditioner started making unusual noises, I called the air conditioning business and booked an appointment with the a/c repairman. I had several ideas about what was wrong with the a/c setup but decided to let the HVAC techs do what they do best. I had had recurrent flu infections that had started worrying me. The flu infections began after returning from my spring trip abroad. The air conditioning install had become so inefficient that my bedroom felt hot and stuffy. My nights got very uncomfortable that I had to invest in a portable fan to enhance indoor comfort. The air conditioning installation was nine years old, so I knew I was dealing with something other than an old system. Since installation, I have only had the air conditioning professional come four times to do the a/c repair. The HVAC technician did the a/c service and discovered a mold growing in the attic. From the assessment, the professionals found that the mold started growing during winter. It had grown into the system, causing a blockage and restraining airflow. They cleaned all the mold from the walls and the system and restored the optimal condition of the quality air conditioner. The mold had also messed up the climate control device, so we got a new digital thermostat. Since they cleaned and treated the mold, I have noticed that the flu infections have reduced. Since then, I have taken a/c care seriously and replaced the air conditioning filter as often as necessary. I have since opted for a HEPA filter, which is more advanced in trapping particles and pathogens.
