I was skeptical about portable air conditioners

I’ve been dreaming of purchasing a camper van for ages so that I could drive across the country. This had been my dream even before I went to college, however it became one of those desires that got placed on the back burner. Well, when the pandemic hit and I began working from home, I […]

There’s a shortage of HVAC techs in my town

I kept hearing and reading that there is a shortage of HVAC technicians, but it never impacted me until recently. This has been something that has been circulating for over a year now, but I have never had an issue with getting service, so I believed it was only impacting larger markets. Well, I was […]

I can’t predict or change the weather

Now that the colder months are behind me, I was expecting a break from high energy bills. Typically, during the Spring, the temperature is so lovely that I don’t use my Heating, Ventilation, and A/C for heating or cooling. In fact, during this time of year, when I switch from heating to cooling, the equipment […]

I didn’t wake him to change the temperature settings

Due to the pandemic, I hadn’t seen my childhood neighbor Lizzo for about 2 years! Neither of us were traveling and then after the pandemic, life happened and we weren’t able to make time. Well, recently, I opted to spend some time with her. And especially because she had moved into her new townhouse right […]

May is not the hottest month of the year

It’s that time of year again – prom and graduation season. This means that all the teens who are of age are gleeful and busy getting ready for the festivities. My kids aren’t old enough so gladly, I have several years before I will be walking down that path with them. Though my kids have […]

Well, speaking from experience, when I was growing up, my house only had 2 window air conditioners. So, there were many rooms inside my childhood home that lacked air conditioning. However, we had a few fans that helped to […]

I use a space heater instead of my HVAC unit

I finally packed up my space heater and placed it inside my garage because I won’t need it again until later this year. I began using my air conditioner a few weeks ago because the weather finally changed for good. And that meant it was time to put away the space heater for the season. […]

My favorite restaurant had no HVAC.

Every year, my husband takes me to my favorite restaurant for my birthday. It is a very expensive restaurant, and we can’t afford to go there more than once a year. I was excited to get dressed up and go to the restaurant. I was really disappointed when we got there and they were turning […]

I was sure the HVAC tech was a football player.

One of my favorite pastimes is watching Sunday football. I curl up on the couch with my husband and watch football with him. Being an ex cheerleader in high school, college, and professional football for a year, I knew a lot about sports. I met my husband when he was playing with the same team […]

The HVAC technician fainted.

Nothing worries me more, than when someone faints or gets hurt at my house. I am always afraid of being sued. I had once had someone in my attic installing insulation. He got up there, and I told him the ductwork had a few rough edges, and he had to be careful. He ended up […]
