Taking a break today

I have decided that I am going to take the day off from work today.

Because I work for myself I can do this without needing the approval of anyone or anything.

By the way, I did not say what I do for a living. I am an independent heating and air conditioning specialist. I have owned my own little heat and a/c company for almost 10 years now. And I am the only person working! So if I have no heating and air conditioning home service appointments, I can take the day off any time I want as long as I am ok with money. Which business has been great lately so I deserve a break. I have felt a little overworked as of late so this sporadic day off is just what I need to be totally honest. Working every single day nearly repairing central heating and air conditioning systems and sometimes even installing central heating and air conditioning systems can take a toll on you if you are not careful and do not take a minute to breathe every so often. And me taking the day off is my moment to breathe. I really have needed this for a while. It was just that I did not have the open space to do so due to the tons of work I had coming in. Today since I had nothing scheduled I put on the machine on the phone with the message that we are out of the office today and that if they have an HVAC emergency they should call the regular local heating and air conditioning company.

By the lighthouse

I love going to the beach in the summer right by this lighthouse.

The reason I love it so much is because of the great ocean air quality around there. The air quality is so good it is almost like having a whole home air purification system given by mother nature herself! I am not kidding you. The air quality is really that good right by this lighthouse on the beach. On other areas of the beach the air quality is just ok. Nothing special. But there is something about the air quality right by this lighthouse. It may be because of the way the ocean air reflects off of it possibly. I have told others about this and they have come down to check it out too and agreed about the great air quality right by the lighthouse on the beach. There really isn’t anything else like it to be totally honest. I love coming there in the late afternoon into early evening. That is when the air quality is even better than it is at other times right by the lighthouse on the beach. After experiencing this, going home to my nice central heating and air conditioning system is even better. A great way to top it all off at the end of the day. Great air quality and then coming home to great air conditioning. You can not beat this great day and night of pure comfort with great air quality and great air conditioning. I did spend a lot on my central heating and air conditioning unit, so it is really nice to have after the beach air quality in the early evening.
heating and cooling equipment

Because it was on sale

Sometimes when things are on sale they sound good and I have to buy them.

Especially if the deal is good.

This was why I ended up buying a pretty nice sized baseboard heater when I was out shopping for a space heater. My original intent was to buy a portable space heater. However I decided instead on the baseboard heater because it was on sale at a really great price. Sure even on sale it was much more expensive than the portable space heater would have been. But for a deal like that I had to take it! That is just how I am. I can also say that the baseboard heater is actually a much better heating system than a portable space heater. It is also energy efficient just the same but it heats more space than even the most powerful portable space heater. So that is another reason I bought the baseboard heating system instead of the portable space heater that I was going to buy. I am pretty happy with my purchase and so far it is making my entire downstairs area super warm when it is really cold outside and I am not having to run the central heating and air conditioning system unit at all during the day. Only at night when I go to bed. And actually a few times so far, I decided to give the central heating and air conditioning system a break all day and all night by sleeping in the living room with my baseboard heating system. My bank account sure loved that when it came time for the monthly energy bill to arrive!

Cold at night

In the winter time months of the year where I live it tends to get really cold at night.

So cold that sometimes my central heating and air conditioning system’s heating just isn’t enough to keep me warm.

I had to go out and buy a portable space heater to help keep me warm at night. If I was to crank the central heating system super high it could end up causing an issue and maybe even make my heating and cooling unit overload and overwork itself. And I do not want to have a heat and a/c emergency. Especially this time of the year. Having a portable space heater in my bedroom to help keep me warm was a good idea a friend of mine suggested. It was a lot cheaper than investing in a brand new and up to date central heating and air conditioning system that would be more powerful. I know that I need to get a new central heating and air conditioning system sometime in the near future because mine is out of date and does not have the power to keep me nice and warm in the winter time months of the year. But for now like I said, the portable space heater is good enough to do so if used in conjunction with my central heating system. I am glad for the suggestion my buddy gave me to try. Because it really does work pretty darn good to help heat my bedroom. A very good suggestion all around.

 

 

Furnace filter

The high flame

In the future I will keep paying attention to the gas furnace a little more

My gas furnace has been acting very unusual as of late. The flame that comes out of the bottom of it has been rather high lately. This is not normal to have the blue flame of the gas furnace like this. Because the higher it goes it could get to be a hazard. Something may be wrong. So I turned off the gas furnace and called the local heating and air conditioning company for them to send out a certified heat and a/c specialist to have a look at my gas furnace to see what in the world is going on with it. When the certified heating and air conditioning specialist from the local heat and cooling company arrived to take a look, they found that there was a loose switch or something that I had no idea about. They said it somehow got turned up which was why the blue flame was getting higher and higher. They fixed it. I was told that if it kept going out of control like that it could have caused a fire and maybe even an explosion. So it was a good thing I decided to call the heating and air conditioning company about this and had them take a look at it. In the future I will keep paying attention to the gas furnace a little more. And if I see something like this happen again I will call the heating and air conditioning company a lot sooner to send a certified heat and a/c worker out right away to fix it again. That would be the best thing to do in my interest.

Too much trouble

I was thinking about getting a heat pump as my new source of heating my home.

  • However after I looked into it more I decided that it would be just too much trouble to deal with.

On top of the high cost of both the heat pump itself and the installation cost, keeping up with the maintenance on the heat pump would be the worst of it all. It would require more upkeep than my central heating and air conditioning system does. And also I would have to pay for all the maintenance on top of it all which also cost way more than what I do with my central heating and air conditioning system. So I just decided to stick with what I know, which is my central heat and a/c unit. Central heating is not my favorite I have to admit, but at this stage it is the cheapest because my central heating and air conditioning system works really well and has not had any break downs in a long time. I just have my central heating and air conditioning system tuned up and checked up every season and that is it. No additional cost or maintenance required other than changing the air filter every other month. And because I buy washable air filters, that saves me money on air filters too as I can just use the same air filter for about 6 months before having to change over to a fresh one. Heat pumps are a good idea and yes they may save on energy use, but for my lifestyle and my time, it is just too much.

We had a relaxing time while I was in our heating system installation

My partner as well as I decided it was time to update our heating system in our home.

  • The heating system was getting pretty old as well as both of us had been doing more frequent repairs on it over the last year.

My mom told me that I should have updated the heating system various years ago since the original owners installed it about various years prior, but I was too stubborn to listen. Our specialist was amazing as well as walked us through the whole installation process. My partner as well as I were both off of work that day so both of us were available for the heating system installation. The specialist was so funny as well as both of us kept joking as well as laughing throughout the entire process. I even l earned some pretty cool facts about our new heater! We took a chop from the heating system installation as well as had some hot chocolate since it was pretty frigid outside. I’m cheerful that the specialist didn’t have any appointments after us because he was able to relax as well as be human with us. Some people might think it’s bizarre for us to engage with people like that, however this man is literally helping us with something that both of us will use in our apartment daily. There is no reason both of us shouldn’t have some type of relationship with him. I care about getting to meet people as well as invite them to be themselves. We as human beings tend to mold into our labels as well as roles as well as in doing so, forget to lighten up as well as just be ridiculous. We had such a relaxing time that day, as well as both of us still talk to our specialist pretty often.

The pros as well as cons of electric gas oil furnaces

There are precautions that can be taken for gas gas oil furnaces to ensure safety while benefiting from their relaxing efficiency

My friend as well as I get into the most random debates, however sometimes they are really ridiculous as well as other times they get so deep that both of us stop talking for a few afternoons. One of us eventually calms down as well as calls the other. The other day both of us got into an incredibly random debate about electric gas furnaces. I own a gas gas furnace while my friend has an electric one. I think it’s one thing to suggest for something if it was your conscious decision to have it, however my friend’s apartment had the electric gas furnace before she moved in a few months ago. However, she was absolutely clear that the electric gas furnace was the best heating option. She claimed to have appreciated how safe it is because she has had some scary situations happen with gas gas oil furnaces back in her old town that was further up North. She also said that the gas furnace wouldn’t need to be updated for a long time. I guess like those are pretty basic pros considering electric gas oil furnaces come with their tolerable share of cons. For one, they are not as efficient as gas gas furnaces, as well as they also take a long time to heat a room. In my opinion, safety is pressing in a heater, however efficiency is just as pressing. There are precautions that can be taken for gas gas oil furnaces to ensure safety while benefiting from their relaxing efficiency. We talked about this for really twenty minutes straight as well as I was surprised that both of us both even had the comprehension to sustain a conversation about gas oil furnaces for that long. I like having a friend that I can argue like siblings with.

We installed an electric gas furnace in our new apartment

My partner as well as I decided to choice up everything both of us own, dump it in a truck, as well as move across the country… We knew both of us really needed the change as well as were both at a locale where both of us could willingly take on the risk as well as prefer the journey that unfolds.

We’ve been settling into our new apartment as well as making it just the way both of us like! We’re currently having some deep conversations about our air conditioning as well as gas furnace. We are already pretty pleased with the air conditioner that the previous owners left. We really won’t have to update the a/c for another various years at the absolutely least. However, the heating system could use a bit of an update… They were using an electric gas furnace as well as I don’t have much experience with them. We had a heating specialist come out for a consultation as well as he was able to explain how the electric gas furnace works as well as what it would look like for us to install a updatement. We went ahead as well as set up another appointment for him to come as well as install a new electric gas furnace into our home. He provided us a relaxing deal for asking relaxing questions that allowed him to flaunt his comprehension of heating equipment. We’ve been pretty pleased with the new gas furnace so far, as well as I have high hopes that it will serve us well in this new stage of our lives. Our friends as well as family couldn’t guess both of us took this jump, however both of us just knew it was right for us! I’m so proud of my partner for believing in herself too.

Getting a gas furnace tune up before the Wintertide season arrives is important

Most of the time they are spending more money because their gas gas furnaces needed maintenance before it got too cold

One of my number one things I enjoy as a homeowner is to prepare my house for the Wintertide season. I prefer the coziness that the colder months provide. Laying down in front of a fireplace is quite literally my ecstatic arena, as well as I wish I could do that every day of the year. Some of the more tedious tasks I have to do are call my heating professional to prepare our heating proposal for higher USge. The two of us usually do a gas furnace tune up once a year towards the middle of the fall. I prefer to have my gas furnace checked during the fall so that way I guess it’s laboring efficiently by the time Wintertide arrives. My heating professional also gives us a enjoyable discount for being one of the first houses to do Wintertide heating prevention as well as maintenance. He has been advocating for gas furnace maintenance as well as prevention classes for the community because many people don’t understand how they need to treat their gas gas furnaces for optimal performance. I suppose the homeowner’s association is starting to get behind the system since people have been complaining about their energy bills during the Wintertide due to heating USge. Most of the time they are spending more money because their gas gas furnaces needed maintenance before it got too cold. I suppose it’s cool that he is trying to elevate the community by providing educational classes for something we should all know. Not many people would go outside of their task description prefer that, so I suppose we have a real gem within our community.
