Tenant neglects the HVAC system

I have several properties that I own and rent out to students or small families in the area.

  • It is a nice way to make a little bit of extra money each month on top of what I make at my other job.

I normally and very trusting on my tenants and don’t do a credit or background check, but after an experience I had with a current tenant I am going to start right away. I have a young girl living in one of my small houses and she seems like a nice normal girl. However, she has completely destroyed the heating and cooling system in my house. I went over to look at her washer and dryer last week when I noticed that the air conditioner filter hadn’t been changed. I asked her how often she was changing the filters and she just looked at me like a deer in the headlights. I knew that she had never changed the filter on the air conditioner and I was immediately worried. When I opened up the HVAC closet I saw a giant puddle of water on the floor. This only happens when the line is clogged because the filter hasn’t been changed correctly. I tried to be nice and explain to her what happened, but she started to get really defensive with me. She got really angry and said she was going to sue me for blaming it on her. Right then I knew that this wasn’t going to work out and she needed to move out right away.

Hurricane causes debris in outside HVAC unit – no power

I live in an area of the country that gets really bad summer storms. A lot of the time these summer storms turn out to be hurricanes and cause really bad damage to my town. Last week the local weather channel reported that a category five hurricane was headed straight towards us. Everyone started to panic and all the water and gas in the was disappearing very fast. I couldn’t even get my hands on a loaf of bread because everything was going so fast. The storm came and went and the devastation was just as bad or worse than the weather channel said it would be. We were without power for over a week. I was hoping that when we got power back that our HVAC system would be working again. However, that was not the case. When I went out back to look at our HVAC unit that sits in the backyard I knew we were in trouble. There was a ton of debris caught in the outdoor unit and it was really stuck in there. I knew that the HVAC unit would have to be replaced. It looked like it was beyond repair. I called a local HVAC company that day and they told me that many other people were having the same problem. I was worried that this would make the repairs take even longer and we would be without our HVAC unit for another week or two. I hope that it doesn’t take that long to fix!

Mold in my apartment

For the past couple of months I have been feeling sick and I have not been able to figure out why. I first thought it was just a cold, but after a week or so I realized that wasn’t it. I finally broke down and went to the doctor. I really don’t like to go to the doctor, but I thought it was about time that I started to feel better. My doctor told me that I just had allergies and told me to take some over the counter medicine. I was annoyed that I paid to go to the doctor for that, but I got the medicine. After another week, I still wasn’t feeling any better and I couldn’t figure it out. One day I was digging in my closet and I noticed that a pair of my shoes had mold on them. I starting looking around and there was more and more mold. I looked in my HVAC closet and there was mold there too. I called my local HVAC company right away in a major panic and they said I could have water in my drain line. The next day, the HVAC worker was looking at my air conditioner and he said that because I had water in the drain line, moisture was getting back into the air and creating mold. I am going to have to replace all my ductwork now because they are also covered in mold. I really wish I would have figured this out before it became a bigger problem!

My AC fan won’t turn off

I live in a really old and run down beach house.

I have lived here for about a year now and I am so happy that I rent.

This place is falling apart at the seems! I feel like I have to call my landlord once a week with a new problem. He is starting to get annoyed with all my calls and he is beginning to not answer. I feel like something big is going to happen and he won’t answer. So, for the past week my air conditioner fan won’t turn off. It just runs and runs all day long. I am not sure what the problem is, but I really wanted my landlord to come out and take a look at it. However, I have not been able to get a hold of him. All I can do is let the fan run, I know that eventually it is going to stop running or overheat. I wish that he would answer my calls, emails or text messages. I have been trying to get in touch with him for days. Finally after a week of calling, I got him on the phone. He was so annoyed with my pestering, but gave me the number of a local HVAC company to call and make an appointment with at my convenience. I called the HVAC company and made an appointment for the next day. When the HVAC worker showed up, he knew exactly what the problem was and it took him less than ten minutes to fix!

Signs I need to update my Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C system

My wife plus I have been going through some financial concerns lately.

She just got laid off from labor plus she hasn’t been able to find a up-to-date task yet.

I don’t make a lot of money either because I stay household with the youngsters most mornings, on the mornings that I am not household with the youngsters, I labor as a server at a local seafood steakhouse. I don’t make a ton of money, but it still helps house with the bills! For the past couple of weeks since my wife lost her task, my friend and I have started to notice small signs that our Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C system isn’t toiling the way it should. However, my friend and I have been ignoring all these signs because my friend and I don’t have the money to pay for an Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C supplier to come out to the house plus look at our Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C system. I know that my friend and I unquestionably need to have an Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C supplier come out to the house because our Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C system has been making poor noises every time my friend and I turn on the cooling system. It is the middle of the Summer so my friend and I need to have the cooling system turned on as often as possible. However, the noise our Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C system is making is almost unbearable. I guess I might call a local Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C supplier next week just to see how much it would cost to have them come out plus service our Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C system. I unquestionably don’t guess I can deal with this noise for too much longer.

Radiant flooring

I have been babysitting for the same family since I was in highschool. They are extremely nice and extremely wealthy. They pay be ridiculous amounts of money to watch their two small children. The money is so good that I haven’t even started to look for a real job after graduation because I am making more that I would at an entry level job. I don’t want to make the change to a traditional job, but I know that one day I will have to quit babysitting for this family. However for now I am going to continue working for them and saving as much money as I possible can. This family is so wealthy that they are constantly remodeling their home. This week they are having radiant flooring installed in all five bathrooms of the home. I had never heard of radiant flooring, but I have learned that it is a way to heat up the floor by having pipes installed the run hot water underneath the floorboards. It is a good way to heat up the tile floor in a bathroom so you don’t have to have freezing cold floors when you get out of the shower. I am excited for the radiant floors to be installed so I can test them out. I want to know if the radiant floors would be worth the expensive price tag to have them installed. The HVAC company is coming over to their house next week to finish up the radiant flooring installation then they will be all good to go.

HVAC technology

I have never been one to be up on the latest technology.

I guess I just don’t care about having the most high tech appliances or equipment.

I have had the same phone for about five years and I don’t plan on getting a new one until this one stops working all together. I just like to stay with what I know and don’t see the point of having to waste money on new technology. Well last week I went on a trip for work where I think my mind has been changed. We were staying in a very nice hotel that was extremely expensive, lucky for me my work was covering the whole thing. I noticed the hotel had the most high tech appliances in all the rooms and had to get someone at the front desk to show me how to work everything. They showed me how I could change the firmness of the mattress, order room service without picking up the phone and how to change the temperature of the room with a smart thermostat. I had never heard of a smart thermostat before and I was very intrigued. The smart thermostat changes the temperature of the room based on the temperature of the outside air and then allows you to edit the temperature through an app on your smartphone. I don’t have a smartphone so I am just going to have to control the HVAC system the old fashioned way through the thermostat. I can’t believe how much technology is involved in HVAC systems these days.

Teaching with no ac

I realized last monththat I have been teaching for fifteen years now.

I knew that it had been a long time however that was the first time I had counted in a really long time.

I have been at the same school for the entire fifteen years plus I really do love all of the people that I get to work with everyday. I feel lucky because not numerous people get to say that; However, in the past month things at the school have really taken a turn for the worse, however our entire Heating plus Air Conditioning system stopped working in the school so all of the classrooms have been so hot. It is the middle of the summer time plus it is angry. The school doesn’t have the money to replace the entire Heating plus Air Conditioning system all at once so they gave all the teacher a air conditioning window component for their classrooms. However these air conditioning window units don’t do too much when the outside temperature is over one hundred degrees. I have been dripping with sweat through my clothes everyday plus I have even spoke to the principal about getting the Heating plus Air Conditioning system fixed. Many parents have complained about the lack of a Heating plus Air Conditioning system in the middle of the summer time months, even though I just don’t suppose the money is there to replace the Heating plus Air Conditioning system. I hope that they can figure out something, because this is really getting out of hand plus I don’t want the parents to keep getting frustrated with me about it.
