Ductwork cleaning was just the thing

It’s a painless process and the HVAC professionals are so good and careful inside the house

It took getting divorced for me to really start dealing with the heating and cooling in this house. My husband and I were married from nearly 20 years and shared the quality heating and air in this place. But once the kids were out of the house, it was pretty apparent that the kids were what was keeping us together. At least there wasn’t a bunch of lying or betrayal involved. We simply parted as friends and partners in our children. I decided to stay in our home as I just love it. My ex was really great about helping me learn the stuff that he once took care of. And in most cases, he even came over to help me take care of them. However, he ended up getting transferred to the south and so it’s all up to me these days. I belong to the HVAC service plan so the HVAC maintenance is taken care of. And I have all sorts of alerts set to remind me to change the air filter each month. But I had no idea about ductwork cleaning and ductwork resealing. That is until I decided to use a coupon I got for that service because I was in the HVAC service plan. Well, I have to say that if you haven’t had the HVAC ductwork in your home cleaned, you should. It’s a painless process and the HVAC professionals are so good and careful inside the house. But the results when it comes to indoor air quality are remarkable. Additionally, the ductwork resealing maximizes the efficiency of the HVAC equipment as well.

At home with my heat pump for Christmas

This was easily the best Christmas I’ve had since I’ve been married.

And frankly, it might be on the list for best Christmas ever.

The key reason for that was I was in a place where I could control the thermostat setting. Normally, and for the last 15 years, my wife and I venture north to her parent’s place for the holidays. While my wife’s parents and family are good people and I enjoy their company, I hated staying in their house. Over the years I even tried to stay in a hotel just so I could not have to sweat to death the entire time. My wife’s parents keep their home so hot that I don’t know how they can afford food given what they must pay in heating costs. I hated the fact that I was leaving such perfect weather where we live down south to go north and sit inside a sauna for a week. I couldn’t go outside to feel more comfortable because it was sub zero it felt like. So after last year, I knew in my heart that it was time for us to change things up. I even started talking to my wife about it on the trip home. We don’t have any kids so that is a big reason why we’re the ones that always have to go up north. But I suggested that since the kids in my wife’s family are all almost grown now, maybe her parents would like to come to us for Christmas. To my surprise, her parents were thrilled with the idea and we ended up having just the best time together. Thanks to zone controlled HVAC in our home, her parents did have their own thermostat in their bedroom so they could keep it as warm as they liked.

HVAC humidity work is coming

I suppose that I’m just completely loving the fact that it’s winter.

That’s not the case for many people directly to the north of me.

I simply can’t imagine residing with that sort of cold, snow plus ice, however plus, I’d have to have a gas furnace or a boiler of some sort as the heat pump just couldn’t get it done in that sort of cold, then for sure, I like this time of year because the heat pump isn’trunning plus our rapidly changing temperatures are almost perfection. It’ll be that way for the rest of this month plus January pretty much. But once all of us start getting into the heart of May, the rapidly changing temperatures will rise. Thankfully, all of us have relaxing residential HVAC in our house to take care of all the cooling all of us need. The heat pump legitimately is a fascinating machine, while there have been advances in HVAC technology to be sure, the heat pump is essentially doing the same thing. The heat pump technology really moves heat energy from a single place to another. So in the case of air conditioner a home, the heat pump is moving the heat energy out so it can update it with cooler air. But that process also has another legitimately important plus essential outcome. The heat pump is also moving out moisture from the air inside our home. This is essential because it mitigates the environment where mold plus mildew would thrive. I do not have to spend much of my year cleaning up mold plus mildew thanks to the heat pump. And where all of us live, all of us get an overwhelming amount of humidity. So it’s legitimately nice to be able to count on the residential HVAC when it comes to humidity control.

Wintertide work did the trick

I’m so gleeful to be so cozy plus moderate this winter.

And so far, both of us are saving just over 20 percent on the heating costs.

A warmer beach house with less heating costs? Where has that been since I moved to the north? Well, I believe preparing our beach house for Wintertide was yet another thing that I had to learn about winter. Where I am from, there’s not much to winter. Now plus again both of us would have to flip the temperature control over to heating if both of us had a chilly snap. But mostly, the winters I grew up with needed no more than a hoodie plus maybe a pair of pants occasionally. That is absolutely not the case in this region. This sort of chilly is the kind that cuts right through you just stepping out the door. I have to say that dealing with this kind of weather in the Wintertide was way tougher to get accustomed to than I thought it would be. I have been up here now 6 years plus I am still not fully acclimated to the Wintertide cold. But I sure scored giant by listening to a neighbor when it came to preparing our beach house for winter. Our lake beach house is a bit on the older side although it’s structurally in fantastic shape. But with any older structure, gravity comes into play plus produces gaps throughout the structure. So that is what Wintertide preparation actually is all about. I spent a few weekends in the fall tightening up the beach house by sealing up all the gaps plus cracks I could find. I also put down some new insulation in the attic as well. I’m amazed by the difference plus am so thankful for all the saving when it comes to heating costs.

Investing into a heat recovery ventilator

Ever since the covid pandemic, I’ve been more aware of the importance of indoor air quality.

I’ve read that indoor air is typically five times more polluted than outdoor air.

It’s necessary to tighten up the thermal envelope to prevent heated and cooled air from leaking out and outside air from coming in. Improvements such as new windows, added insulation, caulking and weatherstripping help to increase the efficiency of the furnace and air conditioner. However, these efforts eliminate natural ventilation. With no fresh air coming in, the indoor environment becomes stale, stuffy and polluted. A steady influx of contaminants are introduced into the breathing air by way of the regular activities such as cooking, cleaning and showering. Pets, pesticides, the furnace and air conditioner all add to the problem. Dust, pollen, dander, mold spores, VOCs and other toxins get trapped inside. They cause major health concerns. Headaches, congestion, insomnia, irritated symptoms of allergies and asthma, sneezing and coughing are some of the consequences. Unfortunately, there are very few times of year when I can open the windows and freshen up the house. In order to create a cleaner, healthier living space, I’ve invested into an HRV or heat recovery ventilator. The ventilator actively brings in fresh air all year round without causing energy waste. In the winter, the system uses the outgoing stale air to warm up the incoming air and reduce demands on the furnace. In the summer, the air exchange helps to get rid of excess humidity and lessen the workload of the air conditioner. The savings on my heating and cooling bills has quickly recovered the cost of installing the HRV.

Not happy with extreme weather

When my husband and I were first married, we decided to move south.

We’d spent our entire lives in the northeastern part of the country, where the weather is wet and chilly for the majority of the year.

We were tired of the need to shovel snow, scrape ice, carry an umbrella and drive a four-wheel-drive vehicle. We were ready to say goodbye to sub zero temperatures, gray skies and enormous heating bills. My husband had the opportunity to attend welding school and achieve his certification, and I found a really wonderful nanny position. We relocated in the early part of January. We left behind a blizzard and drove toward steadily warmer temperatures. The weather in our new location was absolutely beautiful, with lots of sunshine and blue skies. We were delighted by the palm trees. We rented an apartment on the second floor of an older building. By the end of January, winter was definitely over and the temperature climbed into the high eighties. It didn’t take long for the triple digits and humidity to become unbearable. We quickly discovered that the small and ancient air conditioner in our apartment couldn’t keep up with demand. Because heat rises, our living space is constantly overheated. We invested into a window air conditioner and several box fans. We took multiple cool showers every day. When my husband completed his welding course, we were ready to move back north. We decided to choose a location in-between where we grew up and our southern apartment. We found a spot where neither heating or cooling are essential for more than half the year.

Duct cleaning is needed

I’ve been eating quite a bit of sweets over the holidays and can see the new fat on my stomach where before there wasn’t so much.

Now I am going to cut out all sugar and start my clean diet that I was doing earlier in the year.

Well, today started a new year so what I really mean is earlier last year. I think I can be back in the shape I was last summer if I clean up my diet for about three or four months. If I start doing more HVAC duct repairs in the summer like I used to do, I will lose that weight even faster because of all of the work it takes to do the jobs. I think the biggest contributor of fat on the stomach is the sugar and the lack of exercise as it has been too cold to play beach volleyball. The duct cleaning and duct sealing job has also been put on the back burner since coming to the States for a month vacation. I will go for a run later in the park behind us and do some TRX strap workouts for the rest of my body. My aunt wants me to help her with her geothermal heat pump and maybe look at her hybrid HVAC system if I have enough time. I am going to hang out with a buddy later but not until I get my writing and exercise done. The local service provider friend of mine is going to come over for the workout so I need to get this done.

Found a HVAC business online

My sisters don’t talk to me anymore after my dad died because I didn’t come home for his celebration of life party, which I had no desire to go to.

  • I didn’t care about coming back to a party, one in which my dad wouldn’t be at, just to talk about what a great guy he was to other people who already knew the fact.

My sisters didn’t see things that way, and now that I am home they still don’t try to contact me, even after I have messaged them a few times before. My dad did air conditioning installs and sold a bunch of cooling products for his local business. My one sister worked with him over the years and I think he left most of his empire to her, which is fine with me because I can earn my own money and am not worried about having all this money. I work on programmable thermostats and I sell HEPA filters for my local contractor friend online. I also make money doing a few other jobs here and there and can always earn money when I need to. I guess when I am older I could do some indoor air quality testing in homes and help people install air purification systems in their homes with some help from an HVAC tech. I will work till I can no longer move my body, so I am not too worried about saving all of this money for a retirement that may never arrive. I will always do some kind of work in the HVAC technology field.
