The AC Guide

Building a household from scratch is a long process.

There are so much to choose from and so numerous decisions to make when developing a household into a home! 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 household coming together.

Once the household is up with drywall, doors, windows and a roof it becomes more fun for me. I like to opening out the paint colors, appliances and new decor. I will let the companys do the electrical and Heating, Ventilation, and A/C work. The electrician came the other day to complete the electrical work. That is all done and now there’s electricity in our home. The Heating, Ventilation, and A/C worker came to my household this week to discuss heating and cooling options. He brought up air duct and showed me pictures of other houses with odd types of air duct. I didn’t realize that there were other materials that were used to supply and return moderate and chilly air. Some materials that I saw were building cavities that were made out of wood and wallboard inner surfaces that give really little leakage. Another material was stretchy non-metallic ducts. These ducts are stretchy and are mainly installed in attics or narrow locales. One of the options that my buddy and I 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 occasionally leak where sections can join. The other choice my buddy and I saw was fiberglass duct board that is used to feed smaller ducts.

 

Common Air Duct Materials

If a component is oversized as well as is too sizable for a home, it can increase the capital cost at the time of installation as well as extra costs to when the Heating as well as Air Conditioning system runs

My friend 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 as well as put it in a hat. She told me it is a harsh decision (which I do agree) but she has becoming entirely indecisive with this whole process. After a week of deciding she finally made her pick. She chose a smaller home off of a side street. She got a entirely great deal on it however there were some things that she needed to buy as well as replace. I got a call from her the other morning. She told me that she had an appointment with an Heating as well as Air Conditioning professional. He told her that she honestly needed a replacement with her Heating as well as Air Conditioning system. She was a little frustrated hearing this because it would cost her a few thousand dollars. She told me that the first thing that the professional did was do a manual as well as commercial load calculation. This would allow my friend to have the regular size for her new Heating as well as Air Conditioning system. If this calculation didn’t occur, she could have the wrong Heating as well as Air Conditioning system size. If a component is oversized as well as is too sizable for a home, it can increase the capital cost at the time of installation as well as extra costs to when the Heating as well as Air Conditioning system runs. I was curious to know all of this because I didn’t realize that an Heating as well as Air Conditioning system had to be sized. Now I know for when I own my condo someday.

I had the choice to rent a townhome or rent a home for my last year of university. I chose to rent a townhome because my electricity, heating, cooling and water was all included with my room and board. I didn’t want to have the responsibility of finding an electrical company or Heating and A/C company and pay them each month. I would rather just pay one lump sum at the end of the year, plus I won’t have to worry about paying late fees if I forget to pay my bills. The townhome that I live in now with my roommates is great. My fantastic friend and I have a fantastic size living room and a living room. Our bathroom is pretty nice too. However my buddy and I have been seeing these little balls of lint on our bathroom sink. It got worse as my buddy and I let it continue. My fantastic friend and I decided to call the repair people to solve the issue. He diagnosed our vents and looked at the vent return and saw the lint and dust on it. He took off the return face, and opened it up. Inside was where the air filter was located. He took out the air filter and it was filled with dust and other particles. That was the main reason why my buddy and I kept seeing dust and lint, our air filter needed to be changed. Who knew when the last time it was changed. He apologized and cleaned the rest of our vents by dusting them and wiping them down. If my roommates and I were renting a home my buddy and I would have had to pay for an Heating and A/C professional to repair our problem.

I don’t mind my job.

Many people loathe waking up in the day & going to work.

But I don’t mind waking up & 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 & do the same thing over & over. However I have the type of job where every afternoon 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 & 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 woman to see if she could determine the problem. Unfortunately she couldn’t so she called an HVAC serviceman. The HVAC serviceman found that the reason for the two chilly offices was due to an imbalance of air flow. The air volume that the HVAC 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 big chilly drafts in both offices. After the serviceman fixed the problem, my coworker & I didn’t have to bring our jackets anymore. Now I looked more forward to going to work! Even though I do face a weird variety of work every afternoon, I won’t have to experience a chilly one.

My Grandmother called me the other afternoon unsure of how to work her new kindle. My aunt’s bought her an kindle for her birthday last week. They showed her how to use it even though she ultimately forgot. Since it was the weekday & all of my aunt’s were at work, I went over after my classes. She was so blissful to see me. I showed her the steps on how to connect to the internet & 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 & could stay until supper time. She mentioned that she had her HVAC serviceman coming to the condo to look over her system because it needed replacing. I told her I could stay & explain to her what she was doing, when she arrived, she told my Grandmother that she had to do an energy audit, then 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 & type of HVAC system that she needs. An audit allows the serviceman to determine if there’s any leakage in the HVAC duct, pressure imbalances caused by the HVAC duct, any air leakage, inadequate insulation & 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 HVAC system. I was blissful to have helped my Grandmother that afternoon.

My best buddy & I constantly have a good time when we’re together, but my associate and I have been friends since my associate and I were in the second grade, and now that we’re in our twenties it’s safe to say that my associate and I will be friends for life, as constantly, best friends have their disagreements, however but with those little confrontations, my associate and I haven’t let that interfere with our friendship! She’s been by my side through some rough times in my life & I’ve done the same for her… I’ve been helping her find a condo to rent while she goes back to get her Master’s degree.

Some of the houses we’ve seen have been treacherous & absolutely nice; Of course the absolutely nice houses are too much money & out of her budget.

After a month, she finally made a option of choosing a condo to rent, then unfortunately some of the items in her condo are ancient. One of them being her temperature control. By looking at her temperature control it’s not a programmable one. She was a little frustrated by that because she’ll have to manually turn the dial before she goes to bed, when she wakes up, & when she leaves her house. I mentioned to her to ask her landlord if she could call an HVAC serviceman to install one. My buddy got ahold of her landlord & she agreed, then the serviceman told her that she made the right transport in updating her temperature control because an replace helps maintain the system’s workload, saves money & limits the amount of times you have to adjust the home’s temperature.

I remember back in highschool taking American history.

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

I regularly got “A’s” in that class and I thoroughly enjoyed the way my professor taught. I remember one certain topic was a lesson on work laws. A lot of workers in the early 1920s faced long hours, and bad working conditions. I could never imagine working in a factory for long hours in really tepid or really chilly conditions and getting paid really minimal. At labor the other day my buddy and I had a worker come to fix the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system. Supposively it broke down. It was in the middle of the summer time and every one in the office was perspiring. It reminded me of the work lesson I learned in high school, as I was feeling really moderate and uncomfortable. The worker finally fixed the problem and my buddy and I were all back to feeling comfortable again. The next day I showed up to labor and saw companys working all over the office. According to the worker that showed up yepterday he told the owner load reducing options so the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system doesn’t have to consistently running. Some suggestions to the owner were reducing solar gain, however contractors were placing window tints on certain windows that receive a lot of sunlight. This was to keep unnecessary heat out. The companys were also installing energy efficient lighting because the outdated lighting fixtures were outdated and also letting off unnecessary heat. I think working in a safe energy efficient and comfortable labor environment is crucial.

I remember back in highcollege taking American history.

History was my favorite subject in college as well as I didn’t mind it.

I consistently got “A’s” in that class as well as I thoroughly loved the way my professor taught. I remember one particular topic was a lesson on labor laws. A lot of workers in the early 1920s faced long hours, as well as exhausting laboring conditions. I could never imagine laboring in a factory for long hours in entirely warm or entirely chilly conditions as well as getting paid entirely minimal. At labor the other morning we had a professional come to fix the Heating as well as Air Conditioning system. Supposively it broke down. It was in the middle of the Summer as well as every one in the office was covered in sweat. It reminded me of the labor lesson I learned in high college, as I was feeling entirely warm as well as uncomfortable. The professional finally fixed the concern as well as we were all back to feeling comfortable again. The next morning I showed up to labor as well as saw suppliers laboring all over the office. According to the professional that showed up last month he told the owner load reducing chances so the Heating as well as Air Conditioning system doesn’t have to consistently running. Some suggestions to the owner were reducing solar gain, contractors were placing window tints on particular windows that receive a lot of sunlight. This was to keep unnecessary heat out. The suppliers were also installing energy efficient lighting because the seasoned lighting fixtures were old as well as also letting off unnecessary heat. I assume laboring in a safe energy efficient as well as comfortable labor environment is substantial.

I have been laboring on my home all Summer to get rid of things.

I have boxes full of junk that I don’t necessarily need. I devoted one weekend of just going through those boxes as well as cleaning out my basement. I had things that were from when I graduated high college. One box had seasoned binders filled with collegework. I wasn’t sure why I kept it all but I went through it just to make sure I didn’t throw away any awards or high college yearbooks. Good thing I did go through that box because I had all of my high college yearbooks in it. I went through one year book as well as looked back at my seasoned classmates as well as teams that I played on. It was hard to imagine that it was almost ten years ago. Time sure does fly by! As I was going through the yearbook I felt a draft coming from the ceiling. It was originating from the air duct. I got a small step ladder, climbed up as well as put my hand near the two air duct pieces that joined together. The chilly air was leaking from them. I immediately called my Heating as well as Air Conditioning provider. The professional showed up as well as confirmed that the supply ducts were in fact leaking chilly air; He said it was smart that I called him because I would have continued to lose money from my air conditioner component running more than it should have. He repaired the leakage by using duct mastic. The air duct was back to normal as well as not losing any more chilly air.
