I need to have good quality air in my office

My job requires clients to come visit my office every morning, sometimes it’s just for lunches with business associates, and other times it’s for important meetings, it is crucial for my business that my clients are comfortable, my secretary is easily careful to make sure that there are always cold drinks and great food around, she also works hard to find the most comfortable chairs for our meeting spaces, and a couple months ago, we had a group of clients into the office for an substantial meeting, everything was going nice until I realized that it started getting hot in the conference room.

I did my best to quietly ask my secretary to make sure the a/c was working properly, however before too long, I could see that my clients were getting hot and uncomfortable, when the meeting was over, I didn’t think the response that I was expecting, the clients didn’t seem as moved by my proposal as I thought they’d be.

As soon as I got to the office the next morning, I called my commercial Heating and A/C provider, luckily they were able to send a company technician out before lunch time. The company told my office manager that our a/c was low on coolant, and was unable to properly cool the air in my office. The Heating and A/C professional filled the coolant in my system, and had the a/c working like new in no time. I made sure that my office manager scheduled regular service for my commercial Heating and A/C system, to assure that we would never have that problem again! Now I will never be scared that my a/c will be the reason that my clients are uncomfortable in my office.

Why high quality commercial HVAC is important for my office

My job requires clients to come visit my office every day, sometimes it’s just for lunches with business associates, and other times it’s for important meetings.

  • It is crucial for my business that my clients are comfortable.

My secretary is very careful to make sure that there are always cold drinks and good food around. She also works hard to find the most comfortable chairs for our meeting spaces. A couple months ago, we had a group of clients into the office for an important meeting. Everything was going fine until I realized that it started getting warm in the conference room. I did my best to quietly ask my secretary to make sure the air conditioner was working properly, but before too long, I could see that my clients were getting sweaty and uncomfortable. When the meeting was over, I didn’t feel the response that I was expecting, the clients didn’t seem as moved by my proposal as I thought they’d be. As soon as I got to the office the next morning, I called my commercial HVAC provider. Luckily they were able to send a technician out before lunch time. The technician told my office manager that our air conditioner was low on coolant, and was unable to properly treat the air in my office. The HVAC professional filled the coolant in my system, and had the air conditioner working like new in no time. I made sure that my office manager scheduled regular maintenance for my commercial HVAC system, to assure that we would never have that problem again. Now I will never be scared that my air conditioner will be the reason that my clients are uncomfortable in my office.

A lot of big businesses invest in PPC ads and Google ads

How much time do you spend on social media? How much time do your friends and family spend on social media? What about your kids and their friends, they really spend a good portion of their day interacting on those websites, right? The point I am trying to make is that social media is one of the most high-visibility markets you can find.

Social media is global, but at the same time it is local. The problem is that a lot of contractors don’t see the value in it, but there are big contractors out there that spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Google ads to promote themselves around the world! But a small business can use targeted Google ads and PPC ads to advertise locally, and focus just on your immediate vicinity. I work with a lot of small mom and pop stores, and a couple of heating and A/C companies, and those are superb examples. There is no reason to use Google ads to promote these contractors outside of a range of a few miles. If you can’t drive to the store or have the heating and A/C supplier come out and do repairs, then it is a waste of a pay per click ad. We always set our Google and PPC ads to only be visible to people within 10 miles of the store’s location. Our PPC ads are literally invisible to most people except the locals, and because the ads are “pay per click” we get the most out of our advertising budget this way, then contact me this week and see if I can help you!

Removing stains from grout lines is especially hard

I work for a commercial cleaning business.

I have no problem with the job itself, but some of the stains I need to remove are difficult.

Sometimes, the carpets are so stained that people just completely dye them a different color. While it is labor-intensive to remove stubborn stains, it also gives a good sense of accomplishment. Then the floor looks brand new and clean, I am proud of a job well done. One of my least favorite tasks is working on grout lines.The cleaning company I work for offers tile floor services, including the grout lines. I work on them far too often. I’ve found that the dirt gets embedded deep into the grout. The material is rather porous and absorbs stains. The grout can become discolored and no longer looks clean. Once the stain is sealed in, it is really hard to get it out. Even the best aggressive products and techniques struggle to work on those stains. There are people who hire us to work on their floors once every few years, and the situation can be a big problem. At least with floor stripping and waxing, and commercial carpet cleaning, we usually get the job done in a single morning. With grout lines, we use an entire team of people. The task is very tedious and time-consuming. Even when we devote hours as a team, there are sometimes stains that just don’t come out. If the client is not satisfied with the results, we recommend coloring your grout lines. We can usually cover up most stains and have the floor looking like new again. Even cracks in most types of tiles can be repaired to the point where they are difficult to notice. Unless a floor is in really bad shape, we can make a worthwhile improvement.

Having wood floors stripped and waxed

When I initially bought my home, the floors were especially shiny. I could practically see my reflection in the finish. The floors in the house are mainly hardwood. I have ceramic tile in the bathrooms and kitchen. After five years of cleaning them, I noticed that my floors appeared less plus less shiny. It eventually got to the point where they looked downright dull and scuffed. This was frustrating. I tried all sorts of products and methods to restore them. Nothing worked for very long. The finish wore right off again. I assumed there was nothing that could be done about it. I mentioned the floors to a friend of mine. She asked if I had ever tried professional floor waxing? I thought that hiring professionals was only for commercial flooring. My friend told me that the finish on wooden floors wears away after a while. To get it back, I needed to have my floor stripped and waxed. I checked online for floor stripping and waxing services in my area. I found a company that specializes in all kinds of floor maintenance. I was thrilled that there might be a solution to my dull floors. The service is inexpensive. I hired the commercial floor cleaning company to also shine up the tile floors and tackle the stains in the grout. They handled all of the cleaning jobs in a single day. Now my floors look like new again. I am just thrilled with the results. I signed up for a maintenance plan with the cleaning business. They come back every six months. I get the fifth cleaning for free. Because of the floor stripping and waxing, the hardwood floors are just beautiful again.

I do six month blocks of corporate housing

For work I alternate between two locations.

Typically I am in the north for six months out of the year and then I go down south for the rest of the year.

It is necessary to keep both branches going. Sometimes during a holiday or a busy time of the year, I have to make a quick trip to another location. It would be expensive keeping two houses afloat and maintaining them. I also don’t want to pay rent in two locations unless I need to. Thanking my business provides corporate housing. I can get a six month block of short term, fully furnished housing no problem. Then when I go down south, I find another corporate apartment to rent out. I always find a location that is fully furnished and right near my place of work. I really don’t need much. I don’t bother asking for a corporate suite in a hotel or an actual house. A fully furnished apartment should do the trick. I really need a working bathroom, decently sized kitchen and a bed. If I need to watch TV, I will pop open my laptop. I don’t even need a backyard. I can go for a run in town or do yoga right in my bedroom. I am a simple creature to please. My workplace always has a nice location for me though. I usually end up with more luxuries and space than I require. Better to have too much than too little though right? Corporate housing has been nothing but great for me.

I tried to convince my friend to get a new heater

I could tell my friend was long overdue for a new heater the first time I stepped foot in their house.

It was sort of like stepping into a refrigerator is how I would describe it.

When I asked where the heck her furnace is, she told me that her furnace stopped working years ago. Years ago, in a climate where it is not uncommon for it to drop below freezing. I’m honestly wondering how the heck she hasn’t froze to death yet. I love my furnace and I can’t imagine not having one. So of course my next best step was to convince her to get a new heating unit. She seemed hesitant, and I could make a pretty good guess as to why. My friend has always been the penny pincher type, the type who always has a bunch of coupons or other savings, and only buys things if they’re on sale. So to get an entire new heating unit was going to be incredibly expensive, and considering she thinks $20 as being expensive, I can’t imagine what she must think of the cost of a new heater. I kept telling her that she really needs a new heating device, that she could literally freeze in this kind of weather if we even get a blizzard or something else like that, but I could tell that was not getting her attention. I then looked around a bit myself, and found a HVAC company that happened to be having a sale on furnaces and furnace installation, and hope that maybe she gets the hint and gets a new one already.

Waiting for the weather to be over

Man, I can’t wait for this awful weather to be over, and it’s not even so much bad weather as unpredictable weather. Every single day, it’s something different, and since I am usually at work, if the weather changes dramatically, I’m not there at my house to do anything, a great example was last night, which was absolutely cold, so I turned my gas furnace on and left in the day for work, when the weather was still pretty cold, unfortunately, by the time it was day, it was close to 100 degrees. So imagine coming back to my home when it’s had the heating unit all day, and I had it set to 77 degrees, however yep my house was practically a furnace inside, and it took forever for it to cool back down. I’ve the same thing, except it would be cold as well. I would have my cooling unit on, leave for work and it would get absolutely freezing while I am at work, so then I would come back home to a freezing house. I have been reading up on ways to fix this problem, and I think I might have found a solution. A smart thermostat allows you to control your gas furnace and a/c from your phone, even when you’re not home. So it would be incredibly simple to be at work, realize it is getting hot, and turn my furnace off and our air conditioning on. I think I am going to do that and get a new thermostat, but the best part is that the smart thermostat isn’t even that expensive.
