When it came time to graduate high school, I did all the footwork needed to get into the local college and take their HVAC courses. I had all the information, and I went home to talk to mom and dad. When dad saw the price for the course, he blanched. I asked what was wrong? […]

I hope my air conditioning will work when it’s needed.
I thanked her for the information, but I was sure my husband would not be happy with this delay in the service Last month, I meant to call the HVAC company. I needed to have my air conditioning unit serviced before summer began. I forgot to make the phone call, even though my husband reminded […]
The car’s heater broke, and my teeth cracked from shivering.
She gave me a blanket, a hot cup of coffee, and turned the electric fireplace on to give me some warmth I was driving north to spend time with my family last year. It was the Christmas holidays, and I took three weeks of work off and headed home. I missed the snow and cold […]
I wondered if our neighbors had heaters in their buggies.
I hated seeing the little shiver, so I took a thermos of hot chocolate down to her, and checked to see if there was heating in the buggy When I tell people that most of my neighbors are Amish, they assume I live in a quiet area, but they are far from right. You wake […]
The HVAC technician said it wasn’t luck, but experience.
I was talking to the HVAC technician last week, while he was working on the air conditioning unit. Mom always allowed me to go outside when the HVAC technician was here.

My brothers were playing football in the living room, and I was supposed to be watching them. Instead of being a babysitter, I was being the big sister, talking to my friends and playing games, while ignoring my brothers. I should have known there was going to be trouble when I heard one of them […]
I’m not sure the thermostat can handle these temperature changes.
I don’t know who was having a more difficult time dealing with these up and down temperatures. My thermostat was old, and I was afraid it was going to fail on us, but my wife was going crazy. She wanted me to get a new thermostat, because she didn’t know if it was winter or […]
We needed the furnace at night.
Although April brings some warm days to our area, we often need the furnace at night. The sun goes down, and there is a noticeable chill in the air. I usually pull the blankets up around me and get cocooned for the night, but my wife is the opposite. She sleeps with the blankets wrapped […]
I didn’t tell you winter was over.
My wife was in a hurry for winter to end and summer to begin. I came home last week, and she had the window air conditioners out of the basement. There was an air conditioning unit in our bedroom, our daughter’s bedroom, and in her workroom. She was putting the air conditioning unit in the […]
