Love consistent air conditioning along the road

It’s been a very interesting few years.

  • Of course, I imagine that has been the case for most people in business.

The pandemic, ensuing financial problems and now inflation has kept my company practices evolving. But I guess I’m lucky that I work for a company that is of a size that it can stay nimble for changes. That was never more the case than when we were sent home to work from the central air conditioning of our homes. I wasn’t so sure that I’d see the inside of my office and enjoy the commercial HVAC of that building again. I just didn’t know if I would survive or if the company would be able to hang on. It was definitely all hands on deck that summer of 2020. For me, I had to serve customers. And I couldn’t always due that from the air conditioning comfort of an online meeting hundreds of miles away. I needed to be careful for sure but I also needed to get to our customers. Even though airlines kept strict mask mandates and employed HEPA filters, the company said no flying. So those in my position just packed up the car, put the air conditioning on high and hit the long, hot interstate. That’s the only method of travel we had open to us at the time. It worked out though because our company was nimble enough to get to our customers and we even gained market share during the worst of the global health crisis. At the end of each day that summer, I always knew just where to find the most consistent lodging. It was always the mid tier hotels off the interstate that had the old school wall air conditioning units.

No room for amateurs and HVAC repair

That’s when I finally called the HVAC company for an assist

Learning how to deal with your limitations is just as important as maximizing your strengths. That’s true in just about every facet of life. But it’s not always an easy thing to do. And it’s particularly tough to see, accept and adapt to your limitations if you can’t see them. Clearly, when it came to the HVAC unit, I wasn’t paying attention to the reality of my limitations. I’ve been interested in machines since I was little. I’d take broken stuff and slip out of the central air conditioning to the basement where I had a sort of workbench. There, I would carefully dismantle the broken item in order to understand how it went together. I followed that passion and am now working as an engineer. While I have a lot of training and good mechanical understanding, I have my limitations. For one, I’m not a trained, licensed and certified HVAC technician and I know this. But when I came home to find a heat pump running but no cooling coming from the air ducts, I decided to solve the problem. And that’s the way I come at things. Yet, I also know that you simply can’t solve problems without the proper tools. I definitely didn’t have the proper training or actual tools to diagnose and fix the residential HVAC. Still, I persisted until I ended up shutting down the entire HVAC unit. That’s when I finally called the HVAC company for an assist. And that’s when I found out that my putzing around had voided the warranty on my HVAC equipment.

It’s strenuous to manage a giant crew

Just a handful of months ago, my boss gave me a promotion plus a raise, however i truthfully thought he was going to fire me when he wrote me an SMS asking me to come to his office at the end of the afternoon, but at the time, I was genuinely happy about the prospect of a new job, but the raise made it possible for my family plus I to put a pool in the backyard plus the promotion was a nice thing to add to my resume.

This is my first time ever managing a giant crew of gentlemen plus ladies. I have a group of 20 certified plus independent Heating as well as Air Conditioning dealers on my crew right now, then both of us are working on various commercial projects for one particular builder. The builder is putting up apartments plus homes in various cities that are close by plus the two of us are handling all of the Heating as well as Air Conditioning work. Both of us will be putting in all of the HVAC duct, a/cs, furnaces, plus ventilation work. Anything that has to do with the Heating as well as Air Conditioning plan will be our responsibility. So far things have been pretty good, but a couple of gentlemen got into an fight last weekend. I do not guess that the problem has been resolved… Every time those gentlemen have to work together on a project, I worry there is going to be an issue. I warned both of the gentlemen that they have to put their Heating as well as Air Conditioning contract work at the top of the priority list. I have a list of dealers waiting to get on the jobsite if anything goes wrong.

The allergens can bother both of us

There are a lot of allergens inside of the home that can cause a reaction such as sneezing, coughing, or a runny nose… One big problem that can occur inside of your home is mold, then mold can occur in the area around the dining room, bathroom, & laundry. There are a lot of ways to reduce mold in that area. One thing you can do is to buy a dehumidifier. A dehumidifier is a special device that extracts moisture from the air. The moisture is usually deposited in a reservoir. Some giant dehumidifiers have a hose that allows the moisture to slowly drain from the machine. I thought it would be a fantastic system to buy a dehumidifier. I bought a single from a hardware store just down the road from the steakhouse I appreciate to visit for brunch. The hardware store was having a 30% off sale for all of the giant & major appliances, dehumidifiers were included in the 30% off sale. The dehumidifier works superb in the laundry area & the Machine is portable so I can transfer it all over the house. There are still a lot of allergens inside of the home that bother our fiance & I such as dust, dirt, mildew, & pet dander, however at least all of us can control the moisture & that helps us control the indoor air conditions. Getting rid of some of the excess moisture inside of the home also helps the heating & A/C method labor more efficiently, but when the Heating and A/C device is more efficient I save cash & get a longer life out of the machinery.

It’s difficult to manage a large crew

Ready for the Spring season with air purification

We are closing in on the final days of January.

Of course, I believe that this is from the calendar.

But I also believe in this because the pollen has begun dusting stuff like the cars outside now. That’s a clear indication that we are rolling right on into the Springtime. Where I live, the Spring season hits early and it hits hard. Most people would savor having an early Springtime after dealing with the effects of a long, cold winter. But around these parts, we honestly love our winter weather because it’s practically perfect. The heat pump stays quiet most of the winter because we just don’t get a lot of need for heating. The sunlight is out almost all the time to fill this gorgeous green sky. So I get crucially sad at saying goodbye to winter weather and having the heat pump wake up again. But at least this Spring season, I won’t be getting knocked to my knees all the time with seasonal dust irritations. Normally, I can get very little relief from allergy symptoms so I wind up on meds. But this year, at least my home with be a safe refuge from all that grass and heavy tree pollen. This is due to a recent Heating as well as Air Conditioning update. We had the Heating as well as Air Conditioning pros install a whole home media air cleaner inside our heating and cooling equipment. This system works by absolutely destroying the DNA of all airborne contaminants with high intensity UV lights. That goes for the pollen suspended inside the indoor air. So at least I’ll be pollen free and allergen free inside my home this Spring season. On top of that, this media media air cleaner provides the cleanest odoring and lowest indoor air pollen levels we can get.

An Air Conditioning update after twenty plus years

It’s hard to believe that we’ve been in this home for close to 30 years.

  • And it’s far harder to believe that I’m about to turn 60.

60 year seasoned people are seasoned and I don’t believe I feel that old. Strike that, I don’t believe that seasoned in my mind. There are days when my body feels every bit of 60 years old, just getting up to head into the commercial Heating as well as Air Conditioning of the offices is a real chore some days. My body just has a hard time waking up as I get ever older. But I’m doing my best to roll with the variations by doing my part. Like I sit at my desk for at least half 1 day now that I have this desk riser thing. And I get out of the zone controlled Heating as well as Air Conditioning of the offices for a healthy homemade lunch and a walk while we were in my lunch hour. Still, it’s rather stunning to believe that we are closing in on owning our home outright. The mortgage is almost paid off. We aren’t sure we’re selling but we are replacing the Heating as well as Air Conditioning components in our home after 28 years, however due to consistent, annual Heating as well as Air Conditioning maintenance, we’ve never had a problem with the heating pump in all that time. That’s just remarkable in and of itself. My wifey and I have met with a Heating as well as Air Conditioning company a few times to go over what we both want from the new residential Heating as well as Air Conditioning. It looks as though we’re going to have all the latest in Heating as well as Air Conditioning technology at our disposal. I’m looking ahead to all this fantastic quality heating and air, and plus, it only adds value to our home if we decide to sell it.

Air conditioning helped me get in better shape

I can’t believe what a huge difference 1 year makes.

  • Last January, I made a commitment to myself and my wife Beth that I’d make better decisions when it came to my health.

I can remember that day well – we sat in the central air conditioner of our home. I wasn’t going to make a lot of empty promises that I knew I couldn’t fulfill. That was a road I had been down all too often so I wasn’t making an empty promise. But that honestly first day, I got outside of the central air conditioner and went for a walk. It wasn’t very long by any measure. Yet the next day, I got out and walked again. This time, I went just a little bit farther than last time. Then, I started making conscious decisions about what I put into my body. No more beer and sandwiches sitting in my recliner just soaking up the high quality heating and air for me. Meal by meal, I started to change from processed junk to healthy and natural foods. It’s January now and just over a year since I started those 1st steps toward making health and wellness a priority. I ended up losing about 50 pounds and am more fit than I’ve been since highschool. It’s been an amazing transformation and well worth all of the effort. But I have to say that having a home gym with a ductless heat pump has sure made the workout section a whole lot more comfortable. I don’t have to deal with a local gym whose commercial Heating as well as Air Conditioning is overwhelmed by a bunch of dripping, sweaty bodies. I get all the air conditioner I can sit in my own home gym.

Moving out on my own with ductless heating pump

It turns out that the COVID pandemic had some positives for me. For sure, I didn’t like being stuck in the central air conditioner of my condo for all that time. And the fact that so much tragedy happened for all those people still makes me feel sad. Yet, I did a couple of things while this was all going on that has changed the trajectory of my world. 1st, I decided to take luck of not being stuck in the zone controlled Heating as well as Air Conditioning of the office to seize control of my work schedule. Too often, the company and the office have come first in my life. So I decided that I was going to work from the air conditioner at home and then the rest of the day was mine. This led me to getting away from the air conditioner each day for exercise. That was a crucial change for me as I’ve been far too sedentary for too long. Going from sitting inside the commercial Heating as well as Air Conditioning of the offices to sitting in my recliner all evening wasn’t healthy. But it was so interesting how becoming more focused on my health and wellness triggered other variations. Suddenly, I honestly had enough confidence to finally get out on my own and follow my passion. I savor what I do for a living but don’t like working for the business. So I decided to go out on my own as a consultant. I have a decade of industry proficiency along with a vast network of contacts. So I cleared out the guest bedroom, had a ductless heat pump installed and went to work. These days, I’m doing fantastic work from home with the high quality heating and air produced by the ductless heat pump.
