The most amazing balancing act ever was when Nik Wallenda of the famed tightrope walking family crossed the gorge of Little Colorado River Navajo Tribal Park near the Grand Canyon.

The 2-inch cable stretched about ¼ mile and was 1500 ft above the ground.

Much less awe-inspiring are the balancing acts the two of us face every afternoon, but we try to live a balanced life, eat a balanced diet, and try to find that perfect balance of labor and family life… Our cars must have a balanced frame and suspension system with perfectly balanced tires to avoid uneven tire wear and reduced fuel economy. Another locale where balance is vital is in the compressor device of Heating and A/C units where giant fan blades help get rid of the heat from inside the house. Some noises are expected when the device comes to life and the fan begins to rotate. When the fan is out of balance, those noises turn into rattles, vibrations, and clanging noises if a misaligned fan blade impacts other metal components in the housing. The great news is that the Heating and A/C compressor fan can be easily cleaned and re-balanced. One trick is to tape a dime to 1 of the fan blades to add a bit of excess weight. Then, a series of comparison tests can be run using gravity to determine any differences in blade weights. Some tweaking and bits of well-placed duct tape should restore the fan’s balance and allow it to run quietly. That is until your amateurish balancing efforts fail, and you end up with a disfigured compressor fan. That is when you can call your qualified Heating and A/C professional who can simply replace the fan and balance the device professionally without those strategic duct tape additions.

Another place where balance is vital is in the compressor component of Heating as well as A/C units where large fan blades help get rid of the heat from inside the house, but some noises are expected when the component comes to life and the fan begins to rotate! When the fan is out of balance, those noises turn into rattles, vibrations, and clanging noises if a misaligned fan blade impacts other metal components in the housing. The good news is that the Heating as well as A/C compressor fan can be absolutely cleaned and re-balanced. One trick is to tape a dime to a single of the fan blades to add a bit of excess weight. Then, a series of comparison tests can be run using gravity to determine any differences in blade weights. Some tweaking and bits of well-placed duct tape should restore the fan’s balance and allow it to run quietly. That is until your amateurish balancing efforts fail, and you end up with a disfigured compressor fan.

I was starting to suppose it was just awful luck that I always seem to get sick on the weekends. I guess pretty nice throughout the work week, however, when Monday afternoon rolls around I always guess like I’m coming down with a virus. It is always worse during the afternoon. At evening, I always guess much better. That is why, when Wednesday rolls around, I am ready to go back to work. It is terrible. I can never do anything fun on my mornings off because I guess so sick. This went on for a few weeks until I noticed a weird coincidence. I only guess sick when my lake house cooling system is on. I don’t run the cooling system at evening because it cools down a lot at evening so I just open my windows. I also don’t run my cooling system when I am at work. There is no need. I do, however, run my cooling system all afternoon long on the weekends. I decided to do a little experiment last Monday. I didn’t turn my cooling system on when I got up at 10am. Instead, I got dressed plus ran a bunch of neglected errands. I didn’t guess sick at all. Six hours later I came lake house plus turned the cooling system on. Less than 30 minutes later I started feeling sick. I turned it back off plus I felt better in a few hours. So I suppose I need an A/C business to come out plus clean my cooling system plus maybe my air duct. I don’t suppose for sure although I am sure the A/C professionals will be able to help. Then maybe I won’t keep getting sick.

My daughter called me the other evening plus she was almost in tears, as a father, I worry about her safety when she is out baby sitting so I instantly thought the worst… But then the story came out.

Apparently she was playing with Mr! Opa’s very valuable gold watch once the youngsters were asleep, however she knew she wasn’t supposed to touch it although she did plus now it is down the cooling system vent, then i had a million questions on how this happened although I skipped them plus asked, instead, when the Opas would be home.

My daughter said in 2 hours. Of course I grabbed my tools plus rushed to their home. Sure enough, I could see the watch down inside of the air duct for the A/C plus heating when I used my flashlight. Thankfully, I was able to remove the vent cover, use my grabber tool, plus extract the watch. It appeared to be in perfect condition. Both of us then upgraded the vent cover plus I left before the lake house owners returned. I barely made it back lake house when my daughter called plus said she was ready to be picked up. She didn’t say anything more about the watch so I hope all went well. I also hope she l gained a very valuable lesson: don’t play with things that aren’t yours. And, always have a few tools on you just in case, however you never suppose when you have to do an emergency air duct cleaning to retrieve something you shouldn’t have been touching in the first locale. I suppose I will get her a little tool set to carry in her wallet.

 

New air conditioning

The fans have made a significant improvement in our comfort

In our local area, Winter time arrives early and seems to last forever. I respectfully start running the gas furnace sometime in September. The two of us expect below frosty temperatures and snow on the ground by Halloween. There’s often blizzard conditions over Christmas, and every one of us rely on the heating system until early May. I take the long Winter time as the perfect chance to clean our house. Since I’m trapped inside because of the freezing and snow, I take fortune of it. I transfer from one room to the next with our vacuum cleaner, bucket of soapy water, ladder and disinfectant. I launder the curtains and bed linens and transfer furniture around. I clean down the walls and ceilings and clean the windows and the overhead light fixtures. This past winter, when I climbed up on the ladder to clean the ceiling light in the kitchen, I noticed a significant increase in the room temperature… Down near the floor, the air felt borderline freezing… Up near the ceiling, the air was moderate enough to cause a sweat. I realized that the overheated air from the gas furnace was rising straight up. This problem was forcing higher thermostat settings, resulting in the gas furnace laboring harder, running more often and using more energy. Because of the high cost of our bi-weekly heating bills, I am always searching for new ways to reduce household energy consumption. I’ve insulated, caulked, invested in a smart thermostat and replaced windows. I decided it was time to invest in ceiling fans… Ceiling fans are available in all unusual sizes, styles and prices, but my partner and I were able to handle the upgrade ourselves. The fans have made a significant improvement in our comfort. The rotation of the blades pushes the heat down toward the floor in the winter. In the summer, every one of us can reverse the direction of the blades so that the heat is pushed up toward the ceiling.

When the two of us purchased a new house, I was especially happy by the backyard shed.

It’s more than nine feet wide and twelve feet long, which is plenty of space for a apartment gym.

It has a stone floor, a window at each end and eight-foot high ceilings. The shed is old, and I needed to make some improvement before setting up our equipment. I tore down the old pegboard from the walls, installed new insulation and put up drywall. I upgraded the old, drafty windows and carefully caulked around them. I spent quite a bit on an Energy Star rated exterior door and weatherstripped. I hoped to make the shed as airslim as possible for the sake of heating and cooling. In our local area, the outdoor temperature swings from disadvantage twenty to the high eighties. To love our workout space, I needed to install some style of temperature control unit. I didn’t want to spend a fortune or sacrifice overpriced square footage. I needed something compact, affordable and energy efficient that could handle the demands of the square footage. After some research and consulting with a local Heating, Ventilation and A/C contractor, I invested in a ductless heat pump. It’s just perfect for our needs. I can start up the heat pump through an app on our cellphone shortly before I head out to the shed to exercise. By the time I step through the door, our workout space is perfectly comfortable. Along with heating and cooling, the heat pump also works to circulate and filter the air. It helps to combat the easily unpleasant smell of sweat and eliminate air contaminants such as dust and pollen.

 

air purification system

When we built our home, my partner and I debated the multiple types of heating and cooling systems, however because of our location in the northeast, heating is absolutely the priority, however all of us need a plan that can handle hot and cold temperatures well below zero yet operate efficiently; While central a/c might be nice, it’s not essential, but our requirements led us to hydronic heating. A plan that uses water rather than air to transfer heat energy is especially scrub and quiet; It doesn’t blow dust and other contaminants into the breathing air, there’s no ductwork to leaks, pollute the air or make noise… Rather than warm air getting blowin in from vents and rising straight up to the ceiling, a hydronic plan radiates heat. There’s less temperature swing from floor to ceiling, and it’s a more gentle comfort. The plan starts with a boiler installed in the basement. Boilers are known for being exceptionally reliable. Because there’s few moving parts, there’s not a lot that can go wrong. With nothing more than annual professional repair, we can expect the boiler to last for decades. The boiler takes care of heating up the water and sending it through a looping network of pipes hidden beneath the floor. There is no ugly device taking up pricey space or detracting from aesthetics in the living area. I absolutely like having radiant floors. The heat is spread from corner to corner with no chilly spots… Plus, we have the home set up for zoned control! Each room features an independent control component that allows us to tailor the setting so the requirements, preference of occupancy. All of us save cash by not heating empty rooms. Each kitchen accommodates personal option for temperature level.

Hydronic heater

I have regularly gotten tepid during the night when I sleep.

I would fall asleep unquestionably comfortably and cool, wrapped up in a soft fuzzy blanket. But, for some reason I would wake up in the middle of the night tepid around our neck, chest, and head. I used to think maybe our Heating, Ventilation and A/C plan was shutting off during the night when I’m asleep. But once I found out that it was running love it was supposed to! Since I was able to rule that out, I read somewhere that turning down our A/C system’s temperature a few degrees lower can help people sleep better. So, I thought I’d supply it a try and a few days ago, I turned the thermostat temperature to 72 instead of the normal 70 I kept it on during previous days. This did help me sleep a little more comfortably, however I still have some days where I’m still waking up tepid and sweaty. The people I was with and I just bought a memory foam mattress and these cooling pillows for the bed. I have seen quite a difference in our comfort since purchasing these. I also have a cooling towel that I can use if I get too hot. I’m sure if things get worse, I shall have to look into some other solutions that will not require me to spend more currency. Between the increased energy bills of the A/C running more often and buying all sorts of stuff to help me stay cool such as the mattress, pillows, towels, and lighter blankets, I’m going broke..Possibly, it could have something to do with me, and not a result from our environment. I should look into this. I would appreciate to just have one good night of sleep.

 

 

a/c set up

I live in an area with a legitimately sizzling temperature.

10 weeks out of the year, the use of an air conditioner is required. At 1 time, my car didn’t have air conditioner plus it was the largest week of the year. To make things worse, I had leather upholstered seats which wasn’t a wonderful combination with sizzling heat. I had to throw a couple towels over my seats plus try to park in the shade as much as possible to prevent higher temperatures inside the vehicle. If I was actually sizzling plus uncomfortable, I had a bendy flat ice pack that I would locale under the towel to keep me cool at times. I was toiling a full time job plus surviving paycheck to paycheck plus could not afford to get my cooling system fixed so I had to get creative when it came to staying cool, however only 2 of my windows rolled down too. Luck wasn’t on my side for sure. I tried to consistently keep the other 2 windows rolled down to circulate the overheated air. That helped a little. But a fan doesn’t create cool air prefer an a/c does. It only circulates it. Adding to air circulation, I also added a portable can that affixed to the inside of my car plus it helped a tad bit. I tried to avoid streets with a lot of stop lights because I knew the longer my car stayed still, the longer I would go without a breeze plus beginning dripping with sweat. This went on for the whole Summer And finally I had saved up enough money to get my air conditioner fixed in my car. Thankfully, I did not have to drive drenched in sweat anymore plus could prefer my driving experience for once.

To make things worse, I had leather upholstered seats which wasn’t a good combination with sizzling heat. I had to throw a couple towels over our seats plus try to park in the shade as much as possible to prevent higher temperatures inside the vehicle. If I was certainly hot plus uncomfortable, I had a stretchy flat ice pack that I would location under the towel to keep myself and others cool at times. I was working a full time job plus surviving paycheck to paycheck plus could not afford to get our a/c fixed so I had to get creative when it came to staying cool. Only numerous of our windows rolled down too, and luck wasn’t on our side for sure. I tried to always keep the other numerous windows rolled down to circulate the warm air. That helped a little. But a fan does not create cool air love an a/c does. It only circulates it. Adding to air circulation, I also added a portable can that fastened to the inside of our car plus it helped a tad bit. I tried to avoid streets with a lot of stop lights because I knew the longer our car stayed still, the longer I would go without a breeze plus start covered in sweat. This went on for the whole summer time And finally I had saved up enough currency to get our air conditioner fixed in our car.
