Back to the Grind With Some Air Duct Cleaning

I’ve been off work for the past ten weeks, that is, until today when I go back and work on some air ducts for customers in their homes.

It is now summer and the weather is absolutely tepid, and today I am going to be working in an attic cleaning the ducts and vents. I will drink numerous gallons of water while I work in the attic all day. I was thinking about really doing the work in the evening time, however the people will be home sleeping and I would genuinely keep them awake all evening. It’s just that the attic will be cool in the evening and it would be a lot more comfortable working that way, however I wouldn’t be able to see absolutely well in the dark attic. I’ll just take some breaks and come down to the office of the beach house where they have a wall device to keep it cool. I can chill out there for a little while and cool down before going back into the attic to clean more ducts. The bigger worry for myself and others is the insulation and how it makes my skin itch if it touches me. I will wear a full sweatsuit to keep it off of myself, however that is also going to make me really hot. There is no way to win when cleaning the heating and air conditioning air duct I guess, so I am going to just have to grin and bear it for a little while. I know I can get the job done in a single day though, so it won’t be forever.

Can’t Wait for my Chicken Noodle Soup for Dinner

It genuinely doesn’t have noodles in it, however I may add some later when I heat it up.

I made it from scratch a week ago and froze it, and now it is time to reap the rewards.

I enjoy eating a couple slices of bread and butter with the chicken soup, as it reminds myself and others of how mom used to make it. And speaking of mom, I need to give her a call and have a chat as it has been a few weeks since I last talked to her. I’m overseas now so I am many hours ahead. But, heating and air conditioning equipment service is first on my list before calling mom because my central heating and air conditioning unit isn’t working well now and I need to get it fixed. I’m waiting for the service guy to come from the contractor and then I’ll get him going and call mom. It’s only 9:15am in the states and she is genuinely just waking up so I’ll give her another minute or two before calling, or I may just wait and call her when I get back from the beach later. Mom was working for this heating corp up until about two years ago when she retired. I did learn something from her about the field and I do a little heating and air conditioning work myself, however I don’t work on central heating and air conditioning systems. This is why I am having the heating and air conditioning tech come here to help me. I am more of a paperwork guy when it comes to work at the local business. I hear the guy buzzing at my door now so I will see ya later.

Looking for a New Washable HEPA Filter at the Local Business

This week is a quiet one in our neighborhood as a lot of people have emptied out of here recently.

We do have a horror film festival coming up in a week or so, and that will bring in some tourists, however it won’t be anything like the summer weeks when mobs of people come here to stay for the season.

The streets are so full in the summertime that I can hardly ride my bike to the beach. But, now the streets are barren once again and all is well in our world. I have to go to the cool local contractor today and see if they got my washable HEPA filter in yet. I had to order one from them and they said it should be arriving today, so once I finish my dinner I am going to take the six minute trek there and see if it came in yet. My heating and air conditioning unit has an unusual size filter so that is why I had to order it. It lasted me a few years and I ordered five filters this time so that when I take the dirty filter out to clean it I can just pop in the other clean filter. My funny heating and air conditioning rep told me how to clean it the right way so that it lasts a long time. I am hitting the park later to meet some friends for a yoga session followed by a picnic, and then some enjoyable time in the sun. The heat has left our area and now it is absolutely enjoyable outside in the daytime.

I Found the Answer to my Heating Dilemma; The Lottery!

This was my friend’s solution to retirement back when I was younger and it just sounds so ridiculous.

I recognize it’s not the answer but it’s nice to dream. Actually, in all honesty, I would NOT want to win the lottery in the end because I heard that 85% of the people who won it ended up worse off than before the win. They were either bankrupt, dead, or in prison after many years of winning the cash. I couldn’t imagine getting 285 million dollars in one day after working at an heating and A/C supplier for $68 a day. It sounds like a dream but ends up being a nightmare. Your freedom is gone and your poor life gets unquestionably hectic as well as complicated. That does not sound like a dream to me. The local business that sold the winning 1.7 billion dollar ticket was swamped afterwards by people thinking they could win again from buying there. I am glad with my job working for the local corporation as well as not having my cell phone ringing non stop with solicitors looking to take some of my cash. All of your long lost “friends” and relatives end up reconnecting with you again “just to say hi”. My heating and A/C rep told myself and others that you end up with a lot more stress and just die younger after winning that kind of cash. I’m sure you’re saying “yeah, whatever, I’ll still take the cash”, but what happens after you have everything you want but still feel empty inside? You would unquestionably find a way to try and fill that emptiness with bad habits. Keep your job at the local business and just have fun in life, it doesn’t get any better.

Is Electric Heating Cheaper Than Air Conditioning?

Well, I just looked on Google for the answer and it isn’t so promising. It said that heating a home uses about three or four times the amount that cooling uses, so it looks like my power bills will go even higher soon. I need to find another solution because the winters here can be brutally cold. Maybe I’ll just have to wear more clothes in the home and just grin and bear it because there is no way I can afford heating bills of $2400 every several weeks. I don’t see how people are going to survive the wintertime when their incomes are barely enough to pay the rent. I will go and talk with the heating as well as cooling provider near myself and others for some answers, but we still have a couple of weeks till the cold season is upon us. I may have to let my cats sleep with me at night so all of us can all stay comfy this winter. I think they don’t mind because they have a fur coat that acts as a nice (and cheap) heating device. I will do some research online as well as look for ways to save cash this wintertime with heating the house. This flat is unquestionably well insulated at least, so I won’t have to heat it too much to get some comfort. Maybe radiant heated floors would be cheaper than using the main heating and A/C unit to warm the flat, but I’m not sure that they would heat it up enough here. Maybe I’ll just sleep in the sun next to my big sliding glass door.

Just Tried to Sleep but my Mind Wouldn’t Allow It

My mind appreciates keeping me awake with incessant thinking about things that make no sense at all.

  • Last night, I was going over all of the unusual athletic activities in my mind and how they use the body to transport the ball with sports.

That was the crucial thing of utmost significance that I had to dwell on while trying to get some much needed rest. So, I guess my sleep will have to wait again till tonight. I may have to run the A/C when I sleep because last night was fruitless with the heat in my room. The problem I am having is that my power bills are so high when the A/C is running that it keeps me awake just thinking about the cash flying out the window, or maybe it’s flying in the window, but it isn’t staying in my pocket. My heating and A/C rep told me to just buy some small portable A/C equipment for a couple hundred bucks to cool the room that way. The only issue is I have a window that slides left as well as right and there will be a large gap above the A/C equipment if I try to fit it in there. Maybe the local business has a solution that would work with my kind of window. There must be an answer. I tried closing the vents in the other rooms at night but my power bill is still absolutely way too high. I recognize I should have gotten the zoned cooling as well as heating when I had the chance. The solution will find me and all will work out, so I’m not too distraught.

Need a Power Nap With Some Ice Cold AC

I tried to sleep last night without any A/C in my family room to no avail.

I was trying to save cash with my energy consumption, but I ended up staying awake all night from being way too warm.

I need to come up with a solution for this issue because I spent a lot of cash the past couple weeks with my A/C usage. I believe my equipment isn’t so efficient and is using a lot of power to keep me cool in the summer. Tomorrow is October though and the temps will be dropping pretty suddenly so I won’t be needing A/C till next summer. But, I believe the next several weeks will still warrant some kind of temperature control in my room for sleeping. Another option that I heard saves cash is the dehumidifier. It removes moisture from the air as well as making it feel cooler in the home, but it won’t make it feel as cold as when you run the AC. I’ll give it a shot tonight and see how I sleep compared to last night. I have a newer heating and A/C unit, but I did run the A/C an awful lot the past couple weeks, which is why my electric bill was sky high yesterday when I opened it. I believe it was double of what it was a year ago while my paycheck stayed the same. I will try to get a part time job at the heating and cooling corp near us as I am a certified heating and A/C rep and could use some extra cash.

I Need Some Beach Therapy Today After my Power Bill Came

Occasionally life gets a bit too heavy and this is when I head to the coast to look out at the sea to help me remember that none of these things matter in the big scheme of things.

The local corporations which charge us more for goods as well as services are all feeling the crunch too.

All of these cash concerns that seem too big suddenly shrink to almost nothing when I go to the beach and see those waves softly and steadily rolling in. I’ll just get some more hours at the residential heating and A/C supplier to make more cash. Inflation has been around since the start of time and is always going to be a piece of life, so all of us just need to adapt to it. Every one of us will be gone one day and all of this stressing out over things that are not in our control really doesn’t add up to much when you realize you will be separated from all of this in a blink. Today I will clean my heating and A/C unit as well as try to get it tuned up so that I use less power. But the main solution is going to be to run the A/C less in the summer so that my power bills are lower. I recognize this global war going on is also making inflation rise faster than normal, so it is unquestionably going to be just a temporary thing and it will settle down when the war stops. At least my electric heating system is entirely working well as wintertime is coming soon. It’s all good.

Looking for a Small Mini Split A/C Unit for the Bedroom

I tried going without any A/C last night, but I was awake most of the night from being too hot.

I just mentioned my power bill that came in and how ridiculously high it was. I recognize I run the A/C a lot in the house, especially at night for sleeping, but I am going to adapt to the high rates by cooling down only my family room at night. I’ll do this by getting some small portable A/C equipment and installing it in my window. I believe I can get a small piece of equipment that is ultra high efficiency and cools my room for a fraction of the power that the main equipment is using. Why cool the whole home all night when you are only using one small family room to sleep in? That wasn’t too smart on my behalf, but then again I haven’t gotten a bill this high, even when I cooled the home down all night. The rates must have absolutely jumped up this past billing phase and I will just adapt to the increase. I believe a small ultra high efficiency piece of equipment wouldn’t cost much to run at night while I sleep. I tried going without any A/C last night, but I was awake most of the night from being too hot. My room is small and really heats up a lot when I sleep, but the nice thing is that it would also cool down absolutely quickly with a little window unit. There is one mini split A/C system that will cool down a small family room like mine for just $33 a month, so it looks like I will go that route to see how it works. It should be great I’m sure.

I Just got an Insanely High Power Bill Today

I recognized that the electric rates went way up recently, because my power bill is well over double what it was last year at this time.

I am going to have to absolutely curb my A/C usage as I’ve been keeping it pretty cold here lately.

I’ll buy another fan, or several, as well as turn off the heating and A/C system. In the wintertime I will just wear more clothes as well as keep the heat usage to a minimum because I can’t afford another $600 bill. It’s almost like I have another darn rent payment due each month when the utility bills come in. I recognize that the solution is for me to get a flatmate. I have a friend who works at the heating and cooling business who is looking for a room, so I will unquestionably rent to her. She works early in the day and isn’t home till well into the night, which is when I am at the beach playing ball, so we both won’t be in each other’s way much in the flat. I believe she does heating and A/C component updates as well as repairs at the local business. And from what I’ve heard she is absolutely great at her work. It all works out, so I’m not distraught about any of this cash stuff. Money always comes in when I need it so it’s all good. I work selling unusual heating and A/C brands online and I may just try to drum up some more work myself to help cover the cost of the increase in bills. It’s not like inflation is something new to any of us.
