Wintertide without heating
One of the worst winters of our childhood was when I was living in a locale with a cold climate and the gas furnace stopped working a single day out of nowhere! All of us were about to leave neighborhood for the week, and our parents ended up having to cancel our trip so that they could afford to update the heater, but the Heating and Air Conditioning corporation was not able to do the updatement for 3 week.
Either way, the people I was with and I were frosty and had to cancel our family vacation, i didn’t know what was worse, at such a young age. All of us used the wood burning fireplace to keep warm, and eventually got a few space furnaces to stay warm, and my brother and I were discussing how much it cost to update the gas furnace and he told me that it was going to be double the amount of the vacation the people I was with and I had planned. My parents felt really bad, but they were not wrong to cancel the trip. All of us needed to update the gas furnace for multiple reasons, and there would be other trips. I was glad when the gas furnace was updated. It was nice and hot in the house. My parents were even able to get a deal on the Heating and Air Conditioning updatement because they were new customers. I will never forget how cold the people I was with and I were on the last night of the Wintertide before the gas furnace was updated. All of us all bundled up next to the fire and were able to keep warm. I am glad that the people I was with and I are past that.
Space gas furnace for my office
One of the best parts about working in my office in the Winter time is the space gas furnace under my desk.
- Everyone complains about the lack of heating in the building, however with my space heater, I can hardly tell a difference.
The space gas furnace has many settings & fits nicely under my desk. I regularly make sure to turn it off in the days before I leave. The nice thing about the space gas furnace is that it has an automatic shut off feature. If it is on for over 3 hours, it turns itself off. This is so that people do not fall asleep with their space gas furnaces on & forget to turn them off. One of the best parts about the space gas furnace is that I can have it on all afternoon while the front door is opening & closing. The Winter time air comes in, but I stay hot with the space gas furnace under my desk. I love the chance to have the space gas furnace in the Summer weeks, as well. The office gets cold in the Summer because the A/C stays on constantly. I am sure that the space gas furnace will be used year round. I am honestly ecstatic that I asked for it a few years ago, otherwise I would have suffered through many cold winters & would have not been able to concentrate. Many of my coworkers have ordered space heaters, as well. With the lack of control of the heating & cooling system, the people I was with and I never think what will happen.
Allergy season to be much more manageable this year
That means that any pollen that gets inside the apartment will no longer be a threat to our allergies
I care about the Winter where I live. And that’s not because I’m giant into skiing or hockey or anything care about that. I care about the Winter where I live because the weather is wonderful plus it’s a respite from the heat. See, where I live the heat plus humidity is the giant deal. The Heating plus A/C comes on in May plus doesn’t stop until at least November. So, the Winter is a time that I cherish. Looking out our window, I can see that the Winter is coming to a close. The trees are budding out plus things are getting ready to get red. With that comes plenty of pollen. And that generally means that I’m going to suffer through a few months with allergies. Normally, I can deal with it by using over the counter meds. However, the older I get the more I have had to end up at the dentist’s office for dust sensitivity help. This year, while I will still stick with the dust sensitivity meds, I won’t be suffering with allergies from the pollen while inside our house. This is due to the fact that I purchased a whole apartment media media air cleaner. The Heating plus A/C tech was here not too long ago to install it. The thing is relatively small plus fits right inside the air handler unit of the Heating plus A/C. This thing certainly destroys the DNA of the pollen with high intensity UV light. That means that any pollen that gets inside the apartment will no longer be a threat to our allergies. I’m looking forward to at least having refuge inside our apartment while in dust sensitivity season.
Old house getting more replaced form of Heating and A/C
I moved from the north to the south not too long ago.
This wasn’t something that both of us had easily planned.
My wife just came house one day and told myself and others she had been offered a nice promotion that came with a transfer. Initially, I was not all that excited about picking up and moving from the locale both of us had known all our lives. Yet, the system of not having brutal winters and paying outlandish Heating and A/C bills was also quite appealing to my way of thinking. Wintertide was just wearing myself and others out a little bit more with each passing season. So the system of not having to worry whether the furnace was going to make it through the Wintertide was also appealing. We ended up buying an older house in a town both of us really liked. Part of the final negotiations was that both of us would accept a reduced price if both of us were willing to replace the Heating and A/C. Normally, that is something I would have jumped at. However, this was not quite as straight forward as all that. The house was older and the Heating and A/C system, including the HVAC ducts, would need to be replaced. That was not only going to be fancy however quite the undertaking as many of the HVAC ducts weren’t self-explanatory to access. I ended up solving this Heating and A/C complication by using ductless Heating and A/C throughout the house instead. Not only do I save due to better efficiency, the replacement was so self-explanatory and quick. That is the kind of situation that I can really embrace. With the money both of us saved on using the ductless Heating and A/C, both of us came out way ahead on the final sale price of the house.
It’s time to go, partner
The two of us have been fortunate enough to have always had the same HVAC component that the two of us purchased when the two of us built our first home.
That has been over various decades ago and a family raised. It’s hard to understand how that thing saw all that history the two of us made in this house. I can remember originally meeting with the HVAC supplier when the two of us were building the house. My only wish was to have the best, most efficient HVAC component that was available. The local HVAC supplier came through on those needs for sure. She and I went over various available HVAC methods, styles and models. The one I settled on is still getting it done this past week although just barely. However, all of the years of consistent HVAC service has definitely paid off for us. I was determined to take care of our HVAC investment and man – I can tell you, did it ever pay off. Now, I am having to say goodbye to that HVAC as an area of various renovations the two of us are making. The two of us are making those careful renovations because the two of us are selling this house. I sort of don’t like to sell it, clearly, as it was and is our lake house venue. But facts are facts. Without a whole houseful of kids, there is just no reason to have a venue this large. This time, I want to be sure the house we move into has a good HVAC that will be a selling point. At the same time, I’m not as concerned with having the very best available since I won’t be here to look after that HVAC investment long term.
We’re going to save more
It’s certainly not good for me to be the bad girl in any single way.
- I don’t ever like making people recognize they are bad or hurt feelings.
However, there are times in life and suppliers where you have to hold individuals accountable for their actions over time. And this is just an area of life. I think there are times where our feelings get hurt because I’m regularly checked by others. It is what it is. However this past summer, I legitimately ruffled some delicate feathers in our house with the HVAC. I told everyone in the Springtime that I was definitely going to take a hard line on the HVAC costs this year. Maybe they didn’t know I was being for real or Dad was just bluffing. But they soon realized that I was legitimately serious with that statement. This was because the two of us have spent way too much money over stupidly cooling our house during the summer. The two of us live in a region where the daily heat is the big weather concern. The HVAC cooling is for nearly 8 months of the year – I mean, that long, at least. But it’s the 4 months during the peak of heat season that can wreck a single budget. Well, that just wasn’t going to happen last summer. And I did it by making absolutely sure the two of us stuck to the HVAC setting strategy of keeping the house set at no more than 15 degrees cooler than outside. I even went to the lengths of programming the indoor air temperature control and locking out any manual fluctuations. There were some super hurt feelings and some whining. But I saved so much money that I was able to add some extra special bonuses to the family vacation this year.
This is a huge improvement
It was a big deal to leave our career when I did.
This was not something that I approached lightly or cavalierly. However, being on our own, working as a consultant was something that I had wanted to do for a legitimately long time already. Over our career with the same dealer, I observed that those entering or in their early fifties were, by and large, filtered out of the dealer. This was not a situation that I was ever going to be a willing partner to. I wanted to end our career with the dealer on our terms. It was definitely substantial to me to be able to pack up that perfectly HVAC controlled corner office I desperately worked so hard to get. I legitimately wasn’t looking forward to that horrible meeting where they give you the axe and then someone else packs up your office. So, after that, I started working toward consolidating a base of purchasers that I could reach out to for positions they had consulting. Once I made the break, I chose to work from a lake house to save on my business’s initial costs. That meant turning our once small study into a real live, working office. I first started by knocking down the wall connecting to our son’s old room. This made for a very good size section where I could have a professional office. However, I also wanted fairly good HVAC comfort. And I found that as well. Instead of forcing the rest of the house to be set right at the HVAC setting that I found most productive for me, I went another way. I quickly called the HVAC people and had them come out to install a ductless HVAC component directly in our new office.
The HVAC should be comfortable, I think
It was a mystery to me for such a long time, I can admit.
But I am the sort that is legitimately sensitive to HVAC settings and all sorts of indoor temperatures in general.
I tend to be the one that is chilly when our wife feels perfectly warm and comfortable. And that seems to be the case more often than not. I find myself often being chilly indoors a lot of the time. Even in the summer, the HVAC cooling can be just too damn much for me. The Winter time is our toughest time and I tend to want more from the central HVAC heating than is good for our budget. My wife is a dear human and puts up with all of this HVAC setting micromanagement. Her only thing is that she sincerely wants to be comfortable when he’s sleeping. That comfort tends to be more on the cool side of the spectrum. But the two of us manage and our house is relatively comfortable. That’s exactly why it has always puzzled me that the nurse’s office is so incredibly cold. It’s always chilly for me in there whether the season is Winter time or summer. I don’t like going to the nurse for any reason, anyway and the fact that it’s so chilly in there is just one less motivating factor for me to dread it. Finally, I asked about it. And I was sort of stunned by the answer. The nurse honestly told me that the chilly temperatures were by design and not just me. Whenever the air is warmer, the air is more humid. That bit of added humidity is what bacteria and viruses need to proliferate. So, it’s certainly like they are looking after the patients with that low HVAC setting.
