The AC Guide

Fall is finally here & it’s my favorite time of the year.

I cherish to go apple picking with my friends & to the pumpkin patch.

It doesn’t matter how old I get, I will constantly do these fall activities. With the apples that I pick, I like to make apple pie & have it with vanilla ice cream. With the pumpkin that I pick out, I like to carve it into cool designs & locale it on my deck. Fall is also such a elegant time. The fall foliage this year was much better than last year because my associate and I didn’t receive a lot of rain that would make the leaves fall off faster. Besides fall festivities, I constantly prepare my boiler before colder weather hits. I do this by setting up an appointment with HVAC provider. When my serviceman gets to my condo she cleans & inspects my boiler & air ducts for any leakage. She will also remind me to get extra air filters so I won’t forget to update them. This season she advised a carbon monoxide detector near my boiler. This is what she has been doing in a lot of her other customer’s homes to ensure their safety & protection. I agreed in letting him install one. I would never want a carbon monoxide leak in my home. She also diagnosed my tepid water radiator. She diagnosed this by bleeding the valves & opening them slightly & once she saw water, she would close them. Make sure you get your boiler diagnosed before winter season hits.

I don’t mind my job. Many people loathe waking up in the morning and going to work. But I don’t mind waking up and facing the same schedule that I do every week. My schedule consists of: wake up, eat, go to work, drive home, eat, go to bed and do the same thing over and over. However I have the type of job where every day there is something new waiting for me. However these past few weeks have been a little chilly when I get to my office. My office and my coworker’s office that is right next to mine are the coldest one’s in the building. It’s a little odd. This occurred for about a week until I decided to call the repair person to see if he could determine the problem. Unluckyly he couldn’t so he called an Heating, Ventilation, and A/C worker. The Heating, Ventilation, and A/C worker found that the reason for the two chilly offices was due to an imbalance of air flow. The air volume that the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system runs from the office did not equal the air volume that supplies to it. Because the air volume in the office was greater, there was an air pressure balance. This explained the reason for the sizable chilly drafts in both offices. After the worker fixed the problem, my coworker and I didn’t have to bring our jackets anymore. Now I looked more forward to going to work, then even though I do face a odd variety of labor every day, I won’t have to experience a chilly one.

I had the choice to rent a townhome or rent a home for my last year of college.

I chose to rent a townhome because my electricity, heating, cooling as well as water was all included with my room as well as board.

I didn’t want to have the responsibility of finding an electrical supplier or Heating as well as Air Conditioning supplier as well as spend money them each month. I would rather just spend money one lump sum at the end of the year, and plus I won’t have to worry about paying late fees if I forget to spend money my bills. The townhome that I live in now with my roommates is great. My friend and I have a superb size family room as well as a living room. Our lavatory is pretty nice too. However we have been seeing these little balls of lint on our lavatory sink. It got worse as we let it continue. My friend and I decided to call the maintenance people to solve the issue. He checked our vents as well as looked at the vent return as well as saw the lint as well as dust on it. He took off the return face, as well as opened it up. Inside was where the air filter was situated. He took out the air filter as well as it was filled with dust as well as other particles. That was the main reason why we kept seeing dust as well as lint, our air filter needed to be changed. Who knew when the last time it was changed. He apologized as well as cleaned the rest of our vents by dusting them as well as wiping them down. If my roommates as well as I were renting a home we would have had to spend money for an Heating as well as Air Conditioning professional to fix our problem.

 

Changing Air Filters

Building a home from scratch is a long process.

There are so much to choose from as well as so many decisions to make when developing a home into a home, but from pouring the foundation to putting up the wood that ultimately designs the house, it is one of the few steps where you can visually see a home coming together.

Once the home is up with drywall, doors, windows as well as a roof it becomes more fun for me. I like to option out the paint colors, appliances as well as new decor. I will let the suppliers do the electrical as well as Heating as well as Air Conditioning work. The electrician came the other morning to complete the electrical work. That is all done as well as now there’s electricity in our home. The Heating as well as Air Conditioning professional came to my home today to discuss heating as well as cooling options. He brought up air duct as well as showed me pictures of other houses with different types of air duct. I didn’t realize that there were other materials that were used to supply as well as return warm as well as chilly air. Some materials that I saw were building cavities that were made out of wood as well as wallboard inner surfaces that give entirely little leakage. Another material was bendy non-metallic ducts. These ducts are bendy as well as are mainly installed in attics or slim locales. One of the chances that we were interested in was the air duct made out of sheet metal that is made out of galvanized steel. This type of air duct can sometimes leak where sections can join. The other choice we saw was fiberglass duct board that is used to feed smaller ducts.

My Grandma called me the other morning unsure of how to labor her new laptop.

My aunt’s obtained her an laptop for her birthday last week. They showed her how to use it but she ultimately forgot. Since it was the weekday as well as all of my aunt’s were at work, I went over after my classes. She was so cheerful to see me. I showed her the steps on how to connect to the internet as well as where to search for things. I also showed her how to download apps if she wanted them. She asked me if I had to leave soon. I told her I wasn’t in a rush as well as could stay until dinner time. She mentioned that she had her Heating as well as Air Conditioning professional coming to the home to look over her system because it needed replacing. I told her I could stay as well as explain to her what he was doing, then when he arrived, he told my Grandma that he had to do an energy audit… Good thing I was there because she didn’t know what that meant. I explained to her than an energy audit is an inspection that determines the size as well as type of Heating as well as Air Conditioning system that she needs. An audit allows the professional to determine if there’s any leakage in the air duct, pressure imbalances caused by the air duct, any air leakage, inadequate insulation as well as if there’s a radiant barrier that can help get rid of cooling requirements in warmer weather. These factors helped in the process of choosing the right Heating as well as Air Conditioning system. I was cheerful to have helped my Grandma that morning.

I would never want a carbon monoxide leak in my home.

Fall is finally here and it’s my favorite time of the year. I love to go apple picking with my friends and to the pumpkin patch. It doesn’t matter how old I get, I will consistently do these fall activities. With the pears that I pick, I like to make apple pie and have it with vanilla ice cream. With the pumpkin that I choice out, I like to carve it into cool designs and locale it on my deck. Fall is also such a elegant time. The fall foliage this year was much better than last year because my buddy and I didn’t receive a lot of rain that would make the leaves fall off faster. Besides fall festivities, I consistently prepare my furnace before colder weather hits. I do this by setting up an appointment with Heating and A/C provider. When my professional gets to my home he cleans and inspects my furnace and HVAC ducts for any leakage. He will also remind me to get extra air filters so I won’t forget to upgrade them. This season he advocated a carbon monoxide detector near my furnace. This is what he has been doing in a lot of his other customer’s homes to ensure their safety and protection. I agreed in letting him install one. I would never want a carbon monoxide leak in my home. He also checked my boiling water radiator. He checked this by bleeding the valves and opening them slightly and once he saw water, he would close them. Make sure you get your furnace checked before winter time hits.

There has been a lot of controversy lately on global warming, however depending on where you stand on the subject, it is a serious topic that needs to be tackled in some way.

It’s crazy to think that in colder weather conditionss, my associate and I are seeing the depletion of ice & loss of animals due to the weather conditions change.

Climate change results in a lot of factors. Some say as humans my associate and I are the main reason to why our Earth is changing. Others guess it’s just Earth going through a cyclic change. Whatever the reason is, as humans my associate and I can help our environment. Some ways that my associate and I can do this is by recycling paper, glass, plastic & can bottles. What I recently found out by my HVAC provider is that as a business they’re trying to eliminate harm to the environment. According to my serviceman, there is a refrigerant in HVAC units called Refrigerant 22 (R-22), it is one of the most respected refrigerants that are used. This type of refrigerant is said to be responsible for damaging the Earth’s ozone layer. It is used in not just refrigerants but in a variety of weird forms such as: refrigeration, aerosol propellants & cleaning solvents. Since my HVAC provider is pushing to be more environmentally friendly, they are eliminating the use of R-22 & moving to an alternative. A lot of HVAC companies have been getting rid of this refrigerant due to its damaging properties. I am certainly satisfied with the awareness of my HVAC provider & the actions that other companies are taking to get rid of this pollutant.

I remember back in highschool taking American history.

• History was my favorite subject in school & I didn’t mind it.

I constantly got “A’s” in that class & I thoroughly enjoyed the way my teacher taught. I remember one unique topic was a lesson on work laws. A lot of workers in the early 1920s faced long hours, & excruciating working conditions. I could never imagine working in a factory for long hours in certainly tepid or certainly chilly conditions & getting paid certainly minimal. At work the other afternoon my associate and I had a serviceman come to repair the HVAC system. Supposively it broke down. It was in the middle of the summer time & every one in the office was covered in sweat. It reminded me of the work lesson I learned in high school, as I was feeling certainly hot & uncomfortable. The serviceman finally fixed the complication & my associate and I were all back to feeling comfortable again. The next afternoon I showed up to work & saw businesss working all over the office. According to the serviceman that showed up yesterday she told the owner load reducing possibilities so the HVAC system doesn’t have to constantly running. Some suggestions to the owner were reducing solar gain, and contractors were placing window tints on certain windows that receive a lot of sunlight. This was to keep unnecessary heat out. The businesss were also installing energy efficient lighting because the old lighting fixtures were old & also letting off unnecessary heat. I think working in a safe energy efficient & comfortable work environment is important.

My neighbor has been having a hard time buying a house.

• She is too picky with her decision.

I told her at this point she needs to write the houses she wants the most on a card and put it in a hat. She told me it is a extreme decision (which I do agree) even though she has becoming really indecisive with this whole process. After a week of deciding she finally made her pick. She chose a smaller household off of a side street. She got a really nice deal on it but there were some things that she needed to buy and replace. I got a call from her the other day. She told me that she had an appointment with an Heating, Ventilation, and A/C worker. He told her that she genuinely needed a replacement with her Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system. She was a little sad hearing this because it would cost her a few thousand dollars. She told me that the first thing that the worker did was do a manual and commercial load calculation. This would allow my neighbor to have the familiar size for her new Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system. If this calculation didn’t occur, she could have the wrong Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system size. If a component is oversized and is too big for a home, it can increase the capital cost at the time of installation and extra costs to when the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system runs. I was curious to know all of this because I didn’t realize that an Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system had to be sized. Now I know for when I own my home someday.
