Ductwork needs to be cleaned out because of dog

My dog is very well behaved.

I have been training him since the day I brought him home.

Of course, the older he gets, the less training he needs. But still, dogs just have a habit of trying to get away with something new every once and awhile. That was one concern I had when the two of us moved into a house that had heating and cooling vents on the floor. I could imagine how bad it would smell if a dog had an accident down one of those vents. But, since my dog hasn’t had an accident in the house in over 3 years I decided to buy the house anyway. Wouldn’t you know it? Less than 2 months later my dog threw up in the house. Some of that throw up went down into the ductwork. I took off the vent cover and attempted to clean it up but the house still smelled like dog vomit. There is no use getting upset. I simply called up a local heating and cooling company. They came out and did a thorough ductwork cleaning. While they were at it they serviced my heating and cooling systems. So now my air conditioner is working well and it doesn’t stink. I look forward to a smell-free winter as well. I just hope the dog doesn’t throw up into the vent again. I forgot to ask the heating and cooling company if there are any sort of vent covers that would allow air out but not allow anything in. I guess I will have to ring them up and find out. It might be worth it in the long run.

My moustache needed to be trimmed before the big day

I had a wonderful date planned with a special girl and I wanted everything to be totally perfect. I waited weeks and weeks to ask this girl out. She goes to the same gym as me and we see each other every morning. We both go to the gym early in the morning before work. I work in an office and Patty works at a health food store. We had a couple of really nice conversations about life, friends, and family. After a couple of weeks, I decided to ask Patty if she wanted to have dinner with me. She said yes very quickly, which made me feel great. I wasn’t sure if Patty thought we were friends. As soon as she answered quickly, I knew that she was feeling the same vibe as me. I wanted to look like a million bucks on the night of the date, so I decided to go to a barber shop to have my beard and mustache trim. My beard and mustache can get out of control. I use conditioners and oils, but it grows so fast. I didn’t want to look straggly, so I went to see my best girlfriend for a trim. She works at a high end salon in the mall. She told me that she could get me a discount, so I went to see her first. She washed my hair and put fresh oil in my beard. She trimmed up the sides and the back. When I left the salon, I knew I was going to impress Patty with my new look.

We finally found the HVAC company for us

When we first moved here several years ago, we had the worst time trying to find an HVAC company that we really liked and that we could depend on.

I guess it didn’t help matters that we were coming from a place where we really knew the HVAC technician that we used and we even went to church with him and his family.

We loved that HVAC company and we had really great luck with them the whole time that we used them. When we moved, we were still in the mindset of being pretty spoiled by our old HVAC company and so no matter who we called for furnace repairs or air conditioning, I don’t think that it would have been good enough for us back at the beginning. Of course, we looked for an HVAC company like the one that we used to have, but finding a local, family owned heating and cooling company that was also veteran owned proved to be a bit of a challenge for us. We ended up trying four or five different HVAC businesses before we finally got a recommendation from a friend of ours. He told us that his HVAC company was owned by a veteran and his son and that they were super nice guys who really took great care of their customers. I thought that sounded perfect and so we called them up to make an appointment for an air conditioning tuneup and repair. The weather was heating up and so it was the perfect time to try them out to see if they were the right fit for us. It turned out that they were perfect and we have been using them ever since.

Always check your A/C exterior unit before you start using it

If you’re like me and you’re about ready to start using your air conditioning again for the year, then you want to make sure that you check the exterior A/C unit that is outside of your home before you turn it on for the first time.

I didn’t do this last year and I ended up having to pay for that mistake with a lot of money in A/C repair costs! See, we have a big tree in the backyard that grows fairly close to the air conditioning unit and for some reason, I didn’t check it last year before I turned on the A/C for the first time.

I guess I just wasn’t thinking about it when the weather started heating up in the spring and so I didn’t think that it was important to go out there and look at it. However, I really should have checked it out because one of the limbs from the tree had broken off and it was somehow wedged in the top of the A/C fan. Whenever I turned the thermostat over to air conditioning and turned it on, the outside unit fired up and the fan started turning and it sucked the branch right down into it, wedging the branch down further and further until the fan stopped turning and the whole thing got dented and torn up. I had to pay a whole lot of money to our local HVAC company to get the air conditioning replaced. Believe me, I will never make that mistake again. Always make sure that you check your exterior A/C unit or you will be sorry one day!

Make sure the problem isn’t your thermostat

If you’re having problems with your heating and cooling system in your home, then I would suggest that you double check your thermostat before you do anything else.

This is probably just common sense to most people, but for me it was something that I ended up having to learn the hard way.

I had never lived in my own place before I moved into this house, and so when the heating and cooling system seemed to stop working one day, I had no idea what the issue was. I started looking around in the basement at the HVAC system, but to be honest, I really had no idea what I was even looking for. I’m not exactly the handiest person around and I don’t know how to fix things around the house very well. I wasn’t happy about it, but I knew that I might as well go ahead and call my local HVAC company to make an appointment to get the HVAC system repaired before the weather started heating up too much. I don’t like living without air conditioning when the weather is hot and so I wasn’t about to chance being without air conditioning for too long at all. I made an appointment and when the HVAC technician showed up at my house, he was done with the repair in less than five minutes. It turned out that the only thing that was wrong with my HVAC system was the battery in my thermostat unit! All I needed to do was change the batteries and everything was fine. I couldn’t believe it.

The latest delay with our new house set us back two more months

If you would like my advice, it would be to never try and build a house.

Always buy one that’s already built because trying to have one built is a huge pain.

We have dealt with one delay after another with this project, and the latest one has set us back almost two whole months. At this point, I really wish that we had just bought a house, but now we are in it so far that we can’t get out of it. We are just going to have to suffer through the whole thing until it’s finally finished, I guess. This last delay was just super annoying. It’s all because of our HVAC contractor and the way that he apparently ordered the wrong ductwork for the new construction house. I don’t know if the HVAC supplier sent the wrong thing or if our HVAC contractor ordered the wrong thing, but whatever the mix up was, we ended up having to return everything and get it re-ordered. When I showed up at the job site and all of the workers were just standing around doing nothing, I nearly lost my mind! Then when the HVAC contractor explained to me what had happened, it was all I could do not to just yank my hair out. I think there was probably steam coming out of my ears when he told me that they were going to have to re-order all of the ductwork and HVAC accessories. At this point, I’m beginning to wonder if we are ever going to be able to move into our house!

Stop turning the control device so low

I don’t think how many times I have explained this to our partner: if you turn the control device down too low it wont work.

Whenever both of us get beach house from labor both of us turn on the a/c.

If I get beach house first I set the control device to about 72 degrees as well as then the beach house is cool as well as comfortable for our partner when she gets home. However, if she gets beach house first she sets the control device down to about 40 degrees as well as then she wonders why the a/c isn’t working. I have a single of those older, dial, control units. The Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C method in the beach house is not the original Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C system. However, the dial control device genuinely well might be. It works fantastic so I have never had cause to substitute it. The only issue is that if you turn the control device down 50 degrees, it doesn’t think what to do so it just does nothing. This has never been a concern for me. After all, it is not love the beach house cools down any faster at 40 degrees than it does at 82. The beach house cools down just as fast if you set the control device to an genuinely comfortable setting. In fact, it cools down faster at a normal setting because the a/c genuinely kicks on. It doesn’t if you set it too low. At this point I don’t think what to do except maybe buy a wireless control unit. I understand that those can be pre-programmed. Then the beach house could just be cooled already for us by the time both of us get home, then no matter who gets beach house first.

My mom enjoys her air conditioner

My mom never ever turns off her air conditioner… That thing runs 24/7 365 mornings a year.

The only time it is ever off is twice a year when she has her air conditioner repair done! Otherwise, the air conditioner is blasting away plus keeping her cool all of the time; I can’t say that I blame my mom, then she worked over 40 years as a landscaper for a absolutely busy business. This meant 10-12 minute mornings of breaking lawns, trimming trees, plus stuff love that. This far south, it is almost consistently hot. So, now that my mom is retired, she swore she would never let herself get hot again. Thllkll k k k n k at is why it was such a shame when her air conditioner broke down abruptly in the middle of November, my mom called me up in a panic plus said that it was hot in her home plus getting hotter. There didn’t seem to be anything wrong with the control component however the air conditioner simply wouldn’t kick on. I did what any child would do, I told her to call up her trusty air conditioner provider. Of course, she had already done that plus they were already on their way. She just wanted to complain to me I guess, then her birthday is coming up plus I have been wondering what to get her. I think I will get her a portable air conditioner for emergencies such as this a single. True, this hasn’t happened before, however I bet she would love a portable air conditioner anyway. She could consistently use it in front of the couch to stay extra cool.

Saying Goodbye to the Hole in my Wall is Bittersweet

I recently decided to take advantage of rising home prices and sell my house.

I am hoping to sell now when prices are high, continue renting for a while, and then buy again when the prices fall again, as they invariably will.

Well, I have more than one aged window units that do not sit in windows at my house. They were installed into the exterior walls of the house numerous years ago, and they have reMained there, unused, even though the house has had central heating and cooling for about 3 decades now. I never saw the need to get rid of the window units, and in fact, they occasionally came in handy when I needed to get the Heating and A/C method tested or it was 110 degrees outside and the proper needed a little help. But the realtor says I must get rid of them because it makes clients wonder if the central heating and cooling method is insufficient or unreliable. Since neither is true, I think I need to say goodbye to my window a/cs, and that means saying goodbye to the holes in the walls, as well. I never genuinely wanted to bother with the units because I didn’t want to have to bother with the resultant holes, although I think I just have to at this point. I am trying to decide if I should just fill them in with more wall material or if I should turn them into windows. They are localed genuinely high on the walls, so windows might look a bit odd. In any event, I will miss the little window a/cs.

Stop turning the control unit so low

I don’t think how numerous times I have explained this to my fiance: if you turn the control unit down too low it wont work.

Whenever the two of us get home from labor the two of us turn on the a/c.

If I get home first I set the control unit to about 76 degrees and then the house is cool and comfortable for my fiance when he gets home. However, if he gets home first he sets the control unit down to about 40 degrees and then he wonders why the a/c isn’t working. I have one of those older, dial, control units. The Heating and A/C method in the house is not the original Heating and A/C system. However, the dial control unit easily well might be. It works good so I have never had cause to replace it. The only issue is that if you turn the control unit down 50 degrees, it doesn’t think what to do so it just does nothing. This has never been a problem for me. After all, it is not love the house cools down any faster at 40 degrees than it does at 69. The house cools down just as fast if you set the control unit to an genuinely comfortable setting. In fact, it cools down faster at a normal setting because the a/c genuinely kicks on. It doesn’t if you set it too low. At this point I don’t think what to do except maybe buy a WIFI control unit. I understand that those can be pre-programmed. Then the house could just be cooled already for us by the time the two of us get home. No matter who gets home first.
