Labor Day is the best

If our Heating plus Air Conditioning units do get a break, it is in the Spring months plus around Labor Day when the outside rapidly decreasing temperatures are moderate

The first Monday in September is a national holiday since July of 1894. We call it Labor Day plus we appreciate how the other holidays let us have barbecues, go to baseball games, plus ironically, perform no labor for the day. The holiday marks the end of the warm season although the season does not respectfully end until later in the month. Labor Day happens at the time of the year when the school year plus the football season are about to begin plus the weather starts to turn cooler, and unlike patriotic holidays appreciate July 4th or Memorial Day, the Labor Day holiday is a celebration of the American working person. Americans are known for being harder workers than Europeans plus perhaps a bit less hard working than the Asian counterparts. That might be a boombox or stereotype, however what is tplot is that no other country can compete with Americans as to the wide variety of jobs the two of us task at. Another ironic fact about labor is that machines plus robots have surpassed even Asians in their ability to labor long plus tough at various jobs; Robot welders plus robotic burger-flippers perform repetitive jobs quite well however the toughest unquestionably working machinery may be the Heating plus Air Conditioning units that keep our workplaces plus homes comfortable 24 hours a afternoon plus 365 days per year. If our Heating plus Air Conditioning units do get a break, it is in the Spring months plus around Labor Day when the outside rapidly decreasing temperatures are moderate. Machines can’t ever celebrate, however wise homeowners assume that September is a fantastic time to treat your Heating plus Air Conditioning system to a thorough duct cleaning plus a heating system tune-up to prepare for the upcoming freezing season. The heating system that is well tended to in September will reward the homeowner with a Winter season of constant labor that will keep any loft moderate plus comfortable through the Winter season holidays.

Some of the New Words we have for the New Normal

We have all been feeling the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Aside from re-studying the Greek letters with the emerging variants, there are new words to learn as the two of us adjust to our “new normal”.

Social distancing was once a term used with groups including the Hatfield plus McCoy clans. They practiced “social distancing” to avoid being riddled with buckshot. Now it is used for individuals to stay far away from each other. The term “flattening the curve” once meant the effect of a girls’ undergarment. Now it refers to a graphical representation of spreading the number of COVID-19 cases out over a long time. COVID-19 causes respiratory distress. This is connected in a few ways to a home’s Heating plus Air Conditioning system that brings respiratory comfort to the folks with allergies plus other breathing problems. New terms brought on by the pandemic have crossed over into Heating plus Air Conditioning. Changing your filters respectfully is the equivalent of a mask protocol. They don’t stop the tiny virus however using face masks plus Heating plus Air Conditioning filters both help clear the air that the two of us breathe of dust plus particulates. The term “essential business” was rarely in use before the pandemic. With Heating plus Air Conditioning, it is so vital to have your heating system plus cooling system cleaned plus inspected on a respected timetable by a qualified Heating plus Air Conditioning professional. My number one term that has come into much more common use is “efficacy” defined as the ability to produce a desired or intended result. This term is normally used to describe a COVID-19 vaccine’s effectiveness against the COVID virus. But it can also be used with Heating plus Air Conditioning. If you take care of the essential supplies described earlier, the efficacy of your Heating plus Air Conditioning system will be high. If not, then it could drop to zero plus will make any “shelter-in-place” experience quite foul.

Mixing Opposites

Take a mixture of fresh pineapple (include the crushed fruit if you want), ketchup (catsup if you prefer), apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, onion, plus a lot of sugar.

Add some cornstarch to make it thicker plus the result is a beautiful sweet & sour sauce that can be added into any number of delicious dishes and entrees.

I’m not a fan of the Chinese Communist Party however if there is a real “General Tso,” then he has my deep admiration. In this case, the opposing flavors go quite well together however there are a few examples where opposites mix well. Salt plus pepper is another opposing culinary pair that the two of us enjoy. Dogs plus cats can live quite peacefully under the same roof. Saints plus sinners often marry each other plus as the two of us assume from watching the movie “The Odd Couple”, even slobs plus neat freaks can find a common ground. In the 1971s, a single of the more pressing pairings of opposites occurred when the home’s heating system was combined with a compressor plus indoor evaporator unit to form a total and complete unit that could moderate the loft in freezing weather plus keep it cool during the sizzling warm seasons. Central Heating plus Air Conditioning systems eventually came to be the norm, replacing a stand-alone heating system plus a single or more window A/C units. Any homeowner could now control the indoor temperature with a single thermostat that regulated both heating plus cooling. The result was cleaner air, improved circulation, plus reduced ambient noise because the noisy compressor unit could be sited some distance away from where the renters were located. The future use of Heating plus Air Conditioning is likely to include greater automation plus smart thermostat controls, refrigerants that are more “green” and friendly to the environment, plus more developments with geothermal energy. The only thing that will remain the same is the constant need for homes to be kept comfortable all year round.

Rich helping Poor with HVAC

Should richer people pay more to help others who have trouble keeping “food on the table plus a roof over their heads”? I’m not so sure about the roof section however a visit to a Walmart on a Monday night convinced myself that others don’t really worry about getting a nice meal.

The U.S.

government seems determined to keep throwing money at the problem with safety net programs that have helped millions of people however have not solved the problem of poverty. So, there must be a better way for exhausted people to have ample food plus shelter plus for rich people to find eternal salvation. That is a scripture reference to The Bible verse Matthew 19:24 about rich people getting into heaven. The blessed news is that a solution already exists for able-bodied people. The wealthy among us should invest money in dealerships that create good-paying jobs. Those not so well-off should be willing to accept training plus tasks at these jobs. The jobs need to offer immediate employment, a clear path to advancement, plus a way to gain a line of credit that opens up various more opportunities. One field that offers all numerous is the Heating plus Air Conditioning industry that are expected to grow in the coming years. It is not an easy path, however a certified Heating plus Air Conditioning professional will gain way over the minimum wage. There are often apprenticeship programs where a person can gain cash as they learn plus there is no limit as to where a work in Heating plus Air Conditioning can lead them. Heating plus Air Conditioning jobs range from office administrative duties to a highly compensated sales rep. The Bible says that rich people cannot buy their way into heaven. For those who are not rich, employment in the Heating plus Air Conditioning industry eliminates the worry about basic needs including food plus shelter.

The James Bond movies are popular because men, no matter how far away they are from possessing any of James Bond qualities, imagine themselves as the dapper spy in some way, however Sir James Bond can charm glamorous girls from around the globe. The average person can take pride in wowing the girls at the local VFW hall with an ability to set up the mic and lights for the post’s karaoke night, but bond can endure ordeal after ordeal, always emerging unscathed to speed off to a formal event well-groomed plus in a tuxedo. My fiance says that I can barely even make a peanut butter sandwich without making a mess. The largest divide between the first James Bond plus any “Double Aught” wanna-be is the gadgets. Only Bond would need to use a wild bagpipe flamethrower. Owning a combination safecracker/copy device would be nice, especially for those who will forget their home safe combination, however for most men, the closest they come to high tech gadgets are stud finders or voltage testers, domesticated James Bond types have their enemies to fight as well. My fiance turns into “Dr. No” every time I want to use my toolbox full of gadgets on our Heating plus Air Conditioning unit to quiet a noise or unclog a drain line.

Name that Tune is making a comeback

The basic premise of the TV game show “Name that Tune” is the contestants to identify a song by the title before any of the opponents do.

One version has the contestants placing a bid as to how few notes it will take for them to identify the song by the tune. Another form of the contest is the “Golden Medley” where all the contestants have 30 minutes to name more than six or 7 songs as they play in rapid succession. Game shows aside, the ability to recognize sounds quickly is a common and basic survival skill. Our caveman ancestors l acquired to identify noises made by hyenas, bears, plus tigers out looking for a meal. Children in the 1960s were taught to take cover when warning alarms signaled an impending nuclear attack. All drivers assume that when their car starts to make a very funny noise, it’s time to see a mechanic… We don’t worry about man-eating beasts inside our homes, however homeowners should be keeping their ears open for sounds emanating from their central Heating plus Air Conditioning units. A banging noise may indicate a growing problem with an A/C compressor. If it buzzes appreciate a swarm of bees, then you may have a growing electrical problem. A clicking or hissing noise can come from any number of sources. If it starts to whistle or emit a screaming-like noise, even the most tone-deaf of homeowners knows that trouble is brewing with a possible refrigerant leak. When your Heating plus Air Conditioning system begins to make any unfamiliar noise, the last thing to do is try and play “Name that Tune” because there are no prizes to be awarded. Turn the system off plus immediately call your Heating plus Air Conditioning provider who will be able to send you a qualified Heating plus Air Conditioning professional who should be able to identify the “song title” your Heating plus Air Conditioning system is playing in a single note.

Air Conditioning systems and Primal Scream Therapy

Primal Scream Therapy (PST) was an idea by American writer plus psychotherapist Arthur Janov (1924 – 2017).

  • It involves releasing childhood traumas that could be the source of someone’s current afternoons of anguish.

PST peaked in the 1971s when 6months of therapy cost $6,000 with an extra session adding a mere $600 to the tally. Advance payment was required which may have compelled many of Janov’s clients to run into their backyards screaming their lungs out without any guidance. I suppose Janov got it wrong because even people with no major underlying childhood problems want to occasionally scream loudly to release their frustrations. A new PST program requires no advance payment plus begins by deliberately not decreasing the dirty air filters in your home’s Heating plus Air Conditioning system for a few months. The next step is to ignore the twice-yearly duct cleanings plus the device tune-ups that most Heating plus Air Conditioning pros agree are needed to keep your heating system plus A/C running at top efficiency, then your anxiety level will keep growing as your energy bill rises. As the “Heating plus Air Conditioning PST” continues, your central Heating plus Air Conditioning unit will begin to make some very strange noises plus may even perform a primal scream of its own. The highest level of Heating plus Air Conditioning PST comes when the “patient” tries to stop all those noises as a DIY project. Frustration or injury may cause the DIYer to let out a primal scream that can be heard for miles. Or he can simply huddle in the corner of the room while the qualified Heating plus Air Conditioning tech collects his fee. My Heating plus Air Conditioning PST does nothing to improve your emotional or mental health plus your Heating plus Air Conditioning system will also be better off if you skip doing the therapy entirely. That is unquestionably done by decreasing those air filters respectfully plus letting an Heating plus Air Conditioning expert handle any cleaning plus repair jobs.

The Perfect Place for Immigrants

The United States may not be a perfect country, however it remains the number 1 option of where folks around the globe would want to be if they had a choice. A case can be made that the U.S. does not have unique and nice weather; Huge portions of the “fruited plain” suffer from the oppressive heat in warm seasons or a fast-freezing Winter season rapidly decreases the temperatures and that can bring a town to a standstill. Most people will agree that the best overall weather in the U.S. is in the Dakotas plus particular parts of Oregon where it rarely gets too sizzling or too cold. People lucky enough to live in those areas may not even need a central heating plus cooling system in their homes and instead use a few window A/C units, section heaters, plus fans to keep a dwelling comfortable. America’s poor weather may even compel some people to move to a site appreciate Guatemala City, where the temperature fluctuates around 71°F all year around plus the locals start to shiver if it drops to below 60°F. A/C units plus heating systems are scarcely seen plus there are various open-air markets plus eating establishments. There are various such spots appreciate Guatemala around the world where the weather is more honest than Buffalo, NY during the dead middle of Winter season, however guatemalans account for roughly 30% of the legal immigrants from South America plus those who get in illegally add to that count. The weather may be perfect in Guatemala City, however crime, poverty, plus corruption overshadow this blessing, then one reason that the U.S. is still so fantastic is that anyone here should be able to duplicate the environment of their home country with the great abundance of Heating plus Air Conditioning resources available to anyone.

Shared or Personal, which is better?

A far better option is to use a much less luxurious unit that helps evaporate water directly from the skin

Carbonated beverages and soda and beer are better in small sizes for the solitary consumer because the two of us all assume how those larger bottles quickly lose their “fizz”… Something like Pizza, however, should always be over-ordered to share with friends over a few beers after a night of bowling or softball. And why order a single personal pizza to be delivered when you can go big and order a many plus keep the uneaten portion in the refrigerator? Cold pizza is quite tasty in my opinion, however any flat beer or Pepsi will end up being poured down the sink drain, consumers face the same choices with many of your household consumables. A family of 10 will want to buy shampoo in the largest quantity possible. A single person is better off with small individual packets or bottles. Items such as laptops, smartphones, earbuds, plus headphones have reduced rock n roll from a shared to a more intimate experience, however this may be a nice thing based on the eclectic tastes in rock n roll people have. Even the home’s central Heating plus Air Conditioning system has become more personalized with zone cooling plus individual room thermostats. Portable A/C units exist, however the units are meant to cool a single room, not an individual. To fill that “need”, personal cooling systems are currently being marketed that are said to keep your personal section cool plus comfortable. Potential buyers should always review the product description because most of the personal A/C products are nothing more than mini swamp coolers. The smallest tplot A/C units are the portables, plus they are still the size of a modest sized suitcase, however swamp coolers operate by the cooling effect of evaporation from a water reservoir. A far better option is to use a much less luxurious unit that helps evaporate water directly from the skin. It’s better known by its more common name, the ceiling fan.

The following level of the game will prove more tough in that the questions will be about specialized tools which are required for Heating plus Air Conditioning jobs that involve sheet metal. Most DIYers will fail at this level not because they lack the tools appreciate tin snips, crimpers, hand seamers, plus strong folding bars; Instead, they will simply begin to see that the job of building plus fixing Heating plus Air Conditioning air duct is simply beyond their skill level.
