The doorbell caught the thief on camera

When I decided to install a doorbell camera, I thought it would be a necessary move.

This is because there was an increase in crime and package theft in my area and I wanted to protect my possessions by catching any would-be thieves in the action.

I buy most of my products online and as a result I’m constantly having people coming to my door and delivering packages, and so I wanted my home to be secured when it came to seeing who is coming up to my door. I really hope I would never have to use it but it turns out it had come in handy. I had just ordered a brand new air conditioning system online. It wasn’t like one of those huge outdoor units, I don’t think that’s even possible to buy online and I would have to get one for my local heating and AC business and have them manually come out to deliver and perform the installation process. No this one was a small, portable, Ductless mini split AC system. They have recently blown up in popularity and I’ve gotten one of the last ones. I have been keeping an eye on my package tracking and I saw that it was being delivered to my door and so I went and watched my camera. I saw the delivery guy, and place the package on my porch and then not long afterwards I saw some guy follow the delivery guy and try to snatch my package. I came out and confronted him full American style with a gun waving. Needless to say he ran for the hills, and my HVAC system was safe. Now I can enjoy my brand new air conditioner.

The mobile HVAC company came to us

I was elated when they said they would and they would be out there in an hour! I couldn’t believe how fast that was

Living in a rural area comes with many advantages, however there are some disadvantages too, and one of these disadvantages is that it is always difficult to get any kind of service men out here when you need them. Thankfully I do not need any kind of service all that often, but when I do need it it’s very important that I can get it quickly. I had just had my air conditioner service a few months ago, however one summer day we had a very severe heat wave and I was hearing all over the place of people losing their air conditioning systems because of this heat. It was just too much for the machinery to take and it would break down. I had the newest model of HVAC system, and it had just been serviced with brand new tune-ups and upgrades so I thought it would be immune to this heat. However, I was unfortunately wrong and the heat took it out too along with many of my neighbors air conditioning systems. Now I knew that I would need to get someone out of here for repair quickly, contact all the local heat and AC businesses in my area but they were all swamped with people that also needed their air conditioning systems fixed. It was when my husband came up with a fantastic idea, he asked me if I had ever tried using a mobile HVAC business before. I had not, and I wasn’t aware of mobile businesses. Because they were less popular and less known. I gave a mobile HVAC company a call and explained the problem and asked to see if they would be able to make their way out here. I was elated when they said they would and they would be out there in an hour! I couldn’t believe how fast that was. They got here in no time and got straight to work fixing my air conditioning system. After only a half an hour of them arriving I had a working air conditioner again. Now I will only use mobile HVAC businesses.

The air purifiers weren't doing the job

When I was having problems with my indoor air quality in my home, the solution that everybody told me was to simply use an air purifier and so I did just that, getting the air purifier was simple enough.

All I had to do is go down to the local heating and AC business and they had plenty of them to choose from.

At some point I had a heating and AC technician come over and he asked me if I needed help with anything. He seemed very friendly and I knew he wanted to help me. However I did not feel that I needed any help and so I decided that I would just go and pick up the cheapest air purifier I can find and try that out. So that is exactly what I did. I took the air purifier home later that day and I plugged it in for his first time use. It seemed to be working exactly as I was supposed to but I noticed how over the following days and weeks that really wasn’t making that much of an impact on my indoor air quality. Upset that it wasn’t working I decided to look up this model online and read reviews the first time, something that I should have done before I purchased it. Imagine my disappointment when I found that this air purifier had multiple reviews from other people that had used it saying that it really didn’t work well for them. I took it back to the heat and AC business and got a return, and then used the money from the return to buy another one. This one worked much better and I was happy to now have an air purifier that was working for me. Better yet, it works perfectly alongside my air conditioning and heating system. Now my indoor air is like I want it.

I finally got the perfect indoor air quality

A smart thermostat is what I used to control my indoor air quality

There’s one thing that I hate struggling with. It was me having problems with my indoor environment. Most of my family thinks I’m just picky, and maybe I am but I like to have quality air to breathe. The reason that many of my family think I’m picky is because according to them the air quality is fine in the house. They even proved this to me by having a quality check done on the air and it came back in the green. I will admit that I am pretty particular when it comes to cleaning and having things my way. I suppose that you can say I’m a bit of a germaphobe. I went out of my way to double check and make sure that my indoor air will be perfect for me by going out and purchasing a whole home air purification system. My whole family was shocked when I did this because of the cost of a whole home air purification system. If you don’t know, a whole home of your facial system is similar to your heating and AC system, and that it installs alongside your HVAC unit and can be used to control your indoor air quality in your home. It is far superior to any filters, air purifiers, or air cleaners. It also works best when run along a smart thermostat. A smart thermostat is what I used to control my indoor air quality. I can even program the thermostat to turn on before I come home. I love the convenience of modern technology.

Criminal attorneys are forced to try difficult cases that test their ethics

It’s easy to overlook the hard part of a job when you’re having fantasies about the future.

I thought that being a news journalist would be the most exciting career ever, but all it left me with was a case of post-traumatic disorder and a desire to stay as far away from print media as humanly possible.

In my years of desiring the reporter status, I never stopped to consider how I would feel on the days that would test my resolve. You get a lot of murders, horrifying accidents, and down despicable acts that have to be reported on each and every day, regardless of how you feel inside. I reached a near breaking point when I was asked to go interrogate the family of a high school athlete on the day after Christmas—he had just died in a tragic accident the day prior, and I was writing his feature story for the local newspaper. After nearly being chased away in my car, I realized that I wasn’t cut out for this kind of work. It tests my moral resolve too much, so I took my job experience and started working for a concert promoter instead. My friend Ruth was a criminal attorney for the state for years before she couldn’t take it any longer. Like me, Ruth has strong ethics and is seriously bothered by injustice and emotional pain. Since all people—even proven criminals—have a right to fair legal representation, she had to fulfill that role more times than she could possibly handle. After a few years of crying herself to sleep working as a criminal attorney, she switched to family and estate law. She makes more money as a family attorney and feels like she’s doing something good with her time everyday.

Air purifier helps with pet stinks & dander

I have numerous pets & numerous cats who live inside the home with me. I volunteer at an critter shelter & find it way too straight-forward to bring critters current home with me. Although I always idea to find them a great current home elsewhere, I properly end up keeping them. While I care about my pets & cats, they create a superb deal of labor & expense. There is the cost of veterinarian visits & food. I need to feed, walk, groom & clean up after my pets. It’s crucial to me that my current home does not smell like a pet store. I am undoubtedly conscientious about vacuuming, dusting, disinfecting & scrubbing all surfaces. I need to update the air filters in the gas furnace, cooling system & vacuum cleaner frequently. I worry about complications with air quality due to the fur & dander floating around. I have enrolled in a service idea with a local Heating & Air Conditioning contractor that includes comprehensive repair of the heating method in the fall & cooling system in the Spring. A serviceman completes thorough cleaning, testing, adjustment & complicationshooting to maximize device efficiency & capacity. I’ve also invested into a whole-house air purification system. The air purification system is installed into the duct method & filters out contaminants as the air passes through. It’s capable of trapping allergens smaller than a grain of salt. It also works to kill 99% of pathogens. It actively sends out positive & setback ions that disrupt the DNA of harmful bacteria & viruses, rendering them harmless. It further causes pollutants to clump together, become heavy & fall out of the breathing air. The air purification system helps the home to smell better, stay cleaner & believe more comfortable.

Buying a home with a boiler

For various years after getting married, my fiance & I rented an apartment.

When every one of us were ready to start a family, every one of us started looking for a home to buy.

Both of us spent nearly various weeks touring numerous properties. Both of us were quite particular about the size of the yard, square footage of the current home & location. By the time every one of us found a home that met all of our criteria, every one of us were getting desperate. I was anxious to transport & prepare a doctorry. Our only complaint was that the home was equipped with a boiler instead of a gas furnace, but neither of us had any experience with a boiler heating method & every one of us concerned about noise, energy efficiency & its ability to handle dire Wintertide cold. I did a little research & l gained that boilers are often recommended for people who suffer from dust sensitivities, asthma or dust sensitivities because they are especially clean. Because the method uses water instead of air to convey heat energy, it doesn’t cause complications with insufficient humidity. Boiler operation is virtually silent & with few moving parts, especially reliable. Boilers tend to last a really long time & provide a attractively gentle comfort. They truly handle the most dire weather & avoid drafts & stratification. Modern boilers are quite energy efficient & can connect to baseboard heaters, radiators, radiant flooring, towel-warmers & snowmelt systems. Plus, there’s the added advantage of zone control. Both of us ended up buying the home & the boiler heating method is one of the best features. We’ve had no complaints with it.

New windows make for a more efficient home

Buying an outdated home presents some challenges.

While every one of us prefer the hardwood floors, doors and moldings, there are downsides.

The home is really tough to heat and cool. Our local temperature swings from the downside digits into the high eighties. All of us deal with brutal wind chills and excessive humidity. Although I care about the immense windows that allow light into the home, they are a source of drafts and energy losses. When every one of us first moved in, the windows were original to the house. It was straight-forward to recognize the chilly air wafting in during the winter. The gas furnace would run constantly and yet various rooms felt overly frigid. I tried putting plastic over the windows and placing rolled up towels on the sill to minimize the influx of outside air. It helped a little. In the summer, every one of us had troubles with dust, bugs and pollen and I blamed the aged windows, replacing the windows was an luxurious and gradual project. All of us couldn’t afford to buy all current and have them installed. Instead, every one of us bought a couple of windows every few months. My fiance and I l gained how to install them ourselves. All of us were really conscientious about officially insulating and caulking around them. Because every one of us chose low E, thermal pane, Energy Star rated windows, they were especially costly yet more energy efficient. While it has taken a while to update the abundance of windows, every one of us are enjoying the results. The home stays cleaner and every one of us are able to maintain a more consistent temperature. The gas furnace and cooling system aren’t required to toil as tough or run as often. Our energy bills are quite a bit lower. Those savings will help to reclaim the investment into so multiple current windows.

Duct cleaning makes an improvement

Instead, he brought in a unit that resembled an oversized vacuum cleaner, complete with a hose and brush linkment

Last winter, I noticed that cooking odors were spreading throughout the entire home and lingering for hours and hours, but when we’d head to bed at evening, our study rooms would odor of whatever I’d prepared for breakfast. With the outside temperature down into the teens, there was no occasion of opening a window and airing out the house. All of us were running the gas furnace at maximum capacity. The presence of the cooking odors made myself and others more aware of the amount of dust floating around. I started getting concerned about the health and cleanliness of our indoor breathing air. I finally contacted a local Heating and Air Conditioning company and asked him to take a look at the heater. The specialist took care of the inner laborings of the gas furnace and found no concerns. He then inspected the ductwork and discovered an frightening amount of debris built-up in the pipes. He said that this accumulation of dust and dirt was absorbing odors and spreading them to every room in the home whenever the gas furnace operated, however because our breathing air passes through the ductwork numerous times per day, any toxins concealed within the system are a sizable concern, but mold spores and bacteria can easily become airborne and cause health risks. The specialist advised duct cleaning. I assumed that this would be an invasive and luxurious project. Instead, he brought in a unit that resembled an oversized vacuum cleaner, complete with a hose and brush linkment. The brush works to dislodge stubborn contaminants that then get sucked into the hose. The duct cleaning resulted in a significant improvement in the comfort and hygiene of the home. It also increased the efficiency and capacity of the gas furnace.

Having trouble decreasing A/C air filter

My task is time-consuming, demanding and stressful.

When our team is working on a project, every one of us often put in overtime minutes and find it necessary to work weekends. I can go several weeks without getting a afternoon off. When I finally get a free afternoon, I certainly want to relax and enjoy it. However, there is regularly a long list of household tasks waiting for me. This past Tuesday was our first afternoon off in almost three weeks. I was determined to get an early start and complete our many chores around the home as hastily as possible, however unfortunately, I slept through our alarm. By the time I got up, the dog had peed on the floor. After cleaning up the mess, I headed outside to mow the grass and trim the shrubs. I discovered that the grass mower was out of gas and then managed to cut the extension cord with the trimmer and get stung by a bee. I decided to turn our attention to the air conditioning. I was hoping to take the proposal apart and perform some necessary maintenance. I figured a fantastic way to start was a filter change. Because I had no replacement filters available, I drove to the local hardware store. Unfortunately, I had no method what size or type of filter I needed. I took a guess, bought an air filter, returned home and saw that it didn’t fit. The minute trip to the hardware store, I remembered to bring the filter along with me. The store was out of the type of filter I required. I then drove around to three weird stores before finding what I needed. By the time I got home and installed the filter, I was too upset to tackle air conditioning maintenance. Instead, I hired a licensed HVAC contractor to take care of it for me. I chose to lay on our porch and drink a beer.
