I have always believed in myself since I was young. Most of the small and minor electrical harms have always been my task. My Dad realized that I enjoyed mechanical things from when I was four and she encouraged me to explore this talent. As such, I have grown to be such an indecent young
My kids were enthusiastic about moving to the cottage in the province, then they had lost their dad and my partner a few months back and we all missed so much. One of her final wishes was for us to live in the farm condo where she grew up as a kid, and she had
My wife keeps asking me if she can please turn down the thermostat. It’s not Winter so that would be a no. If she was wanting to save on heating costs by turning down that thermostat setting, I’d be all for it. I mean, I could put on a sweater, right? But heating costs are
So this is my first July in our new home in a completely different region. And I’m not sure that we made the right move. My wife tells me I’m crazy and it’s too late anyway. We replaced the residential HVAC in our old house and then sold it for a ton of money. And
When I arrived to whisk her away that Wednesday afternoon, she was actually blown away When I planned the awesome surprise getaway for my wife and I, I didn’t let any detail get by me. I love to do cool, romantic stuff with my partner but haven’t really been too successful with the surprises. The
A few years ago, I felt sort of lost when the kids were all out of the house and either in college or starting their adult lives. That was a really tough period for me. I was a stay at home mom and raising my kids was my job and my passion. They turned out
My daughter invited her father and I to go on a family vacation with her. There were to be eight of us, and she rented a cottage by a lake so we could all go fishing. She couldn’t believe how cheap it was to rent the cottage. It boasted four bedrooms, a hot tub, and
My father told me early on in the game that I should tell no one that I was an HVAC technician. Close family, and your spouse if you have one, are the only people who need to know where you work. Dad thought our family would prey on me, and try to guilt me into
When I moved into my new home, I made sure to have all my inspections done. The HVAC inspection was the roughest part of the mall. When the HVAC contractor came in, he went into every room and examined every part of the HVAC system he could access. He even pulled up the air vent
My husband and I knew we were going to need a new air conditioning unit. It was already almost 20 years old, and five years past its lifespan. We talked about what kind of air conditioning unit we were going to purchase, and the only thing I wanted was a nearly noiseless air conditioning unit.
This week, I am getting my new air conditioning system and I can hardly wait! I have been waiting to get my new air conditioning unit for so long now that I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself now that I’m going to have better indoor air quality in my house! It’s
You probably need a UV light air purification system in your house if you’re struggling with allergy problems like I am. I have tried just about everything to try and get rid of all of the allergy issues that I have. I have even gone to the doctor to get allergy shots and even that
My sister has to get a new air conditioning system before the baby comes in August. She has been complaining to me for weeks now about the fact that the central air conditioning system in their house hasn’t been working correctly. I know that she has been dealing with a lot of things while she’s
My dad owns the HVAC company here in town and it’s been difficult to date people who live around here because of that! I know that sounds silly, but it’s been weird dating different guys because my dad makes a whole lot of money. As the only HVAC company in town, he really gets a
In the rental unit that we have across the street from our house, we usually get really good renters. Usually we don’t have any problems with them at all, but this time we got some duds! These people have been causing issues at our rental property ever since they moved in last year, and I
We had no choice except to call an emergency service provider Summer temperatures are very hot and humid. Sometimes it can be difficult to deal with the hot and humid temperatures. My family and I regularly go to the pool for the lake when the temperatures are hot and humid. We have a great heating
When I paid for an off-plan house in a gated community, I wasn’t quite ready for what I was getting into, but all I knew was that I wanted to own a home. With the off-plan purchase, I had the option to change the rooms but not the exterior of the house. So I sat
Now I have been to enough houses, or homes, to visit people or for business. Usually, I end up in typical homes with all the standard fixtures and fittings. I pay extra attention when I walk into mansions because some homes have unique architecture, especially aged ones. A recent visit to a mega-mansion was quite
I’m going to have to pay to get the ductwork cleaned out professionally, I guess I don’t know what the smell is that is coming from the A/C vents, but it really has to go! Usually I don’t really notice any bad smells around my house, but recently something has definitely been going on inside
Whenever we turned on the A/C system for the first time this year, we found a bad surprise! I could not believe my eyes when I went down to the basement to see what in the world was going on with the A/C system the other day. It was the first time that we had
We didn’t have A/C in our house when I was growing up, and it was something that I really hated about my life back then. My parents always said that they did not think that we really needed to have air conditioning in our house in order to be happy. Well, let me tell you,
A home warranty is a really good idea to have in order to cover your HVAC system. My dad used to always tell me to buy a home warranty whenever I bought my first house, but I thought that he didn’t know what he was talking about. I never really thought that a home warranty
