Make room for mother

It’s been coming for years – my mother has had to move in with us, being unable to care for herself.

First she needed to have open heart surgery to have a heart valve replaced.

After that her lungs started to give her problems, even though she has never smoked a day in her life. She now needs to supplement her oxygen intake while she sleeps. And finally we started noticing the early signs of dementia, just enough to fear what might happen if she still lived alone. We had a small apartment built as an addition to our home, and although it cost quite a bit to build, we were able to use the money from the sale of her house. The HVAC contractor said that our existing heating and air conditioning system had the capacity to heat/cool the additional square footage. He strongly advised that we install a ductless mini split system, as older folks tend to have very different preferences for thermostat settings than others. We chose an HVAC controller that looked a lot like the remote control for our television. This remote control would allow us to turn the system on or off, set the temperature, air speed, and vane direction. We did look into having a wi-fi adapter installed, which would have allowed control over the HVAC system from a mobile device. But we decided against the extra cost. Once my mother moved into her new apartment, she was very grateful to us, although it took her awhile to adjust to her new home. But we have no regrets regarding our HVAC choices. Had we not chosen the mini split system and corresponding controls, she would have wanted the heat and air conditioner set too high for our comfort level.

House flipping

My brother and I started buying fixer-upper houses at bargain prices.

We are both handyman-types and wanted to supplement the income from our day jobs by flipping houses.

There’s a fine line between fixing up a house too much – and never getting a return on your investment, or not fixing it up enough – and not being able to sell it. My brother is adept at plumbing, and he often needs to replace supply lines and drain pipes. My speciality is in drywall and cupboards, both of which are at the top of the list for replacements in run-down homes. But when it comes to heating and cooling systems, we absolutely need a professional HVAC contractor. As a rule, Heating, Ventilation and A/C contractors have a bad reputation, as they are not all licensed by the state. If the contractor is licensed, it means that he or she is licensed to work with gas, electricity and plumbing. After researching the technicians in the area, we learned that experience isn’t everything. For example, a contractor may have twenty years in the business, but might not be well-versed in the newer technology. As a rule, we depend on referrals from people that we know and trust. And it’s crucial that the contractor provide a detailed written estimate in case there are legal problems down the road. Similarly, the lowest bid is not always the best choice. This is because the heating and cooling system is such a major investment, that good quality is essential. We’ve worked hard to make wise choices in our new venture, and our results have been very rewarding.

Too many visitors in my house

I have been staying home a lot due to the current pandemic that the world is facing.

I haven’t felt comfortable leaving my house in months and many of my friends feel the same way.

However, I am really ready to get back to my normal life and I miss seeing people everyday. So I decided that I was going to have a small get together at the house. I had to run my idea by my husband because I didn’t want him to be uncomfortable with people in the house, but he was really excited to see people! I told about ten people that we wanted to have them over for dinner and everyone we invited said they could come. I think people are just as ready as we are to get back to normal life. However, there was one thing I didn’t think of when it came to having people over at the house and that was the HVAC system. I haven’t really turned on the HVAC system much because the weather outside has been beautiful and we didn’t need any air conditioner to keep cool. However, with all these people in the house it started to become warm very quickly. I didn’t want our guests to sweat so I went over to the thermostat and started to blast the air conditioning. Thankfully, no one said anything but I do feel like I am going to see a little spike in our electric bill next time.

Cleaning my house

I have been so bored in my house that I have started to deep clean every room.

I decided that I would spend one day for the next week deep cleaning my house.

I thought it would be a good way to break it up and it could be fun to really get in and clean. I do love to clean my house and the feeling of having a tidy space, but I have taken it to a new level. I decided that Saturday I was going to clean out our laundry room. The laundry room is a huge mess and I am sure that it is going to take up most of the day. While I was in the laundry room cleaning and I noticed that there was a lot more dust in the air than normal. I decided to open up the closet that housed our HVAC unit and it was covered in dust and I am sure there was so much bacteria living in that closet. I called a local HVAC company to see what they recommend I do to get all of the dust out of the HVAC unit. The HVAC tech that I spoke with suggested that I vacuum out all the visible dust and then have an air purification system installed to insure that this bacteria was not getting into the air. I never thought about this causing bacteria in the air and I started to get really grossed out. I told the HVAC tech to send someone out as soon as possible to install the air purification system. I can’t bear the thought of living with that much crap in the air!

Learning more about HVAC zone control

I know many people that have never heard about HVAC zone control, which is pretty crazy to me.

  • My favorite thing about my HVAC zone control system is that it is much better than regular central heating and cooling.

When I used to have a regular old central heating and cooling system I would get so irritated because my house would be all different temperatures. Now that I have HVAC zone control I can really feel the benefits. One thing that I really like about my new HVAC system is how much money we save. I never thought about how much less expensive it is to heat just one room instead of all of the rooms at once. Another good thing is that my HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard. When the HVAC technician first told me I should get a HVAC zone controI I was against it because I had never heard of it before. Now I am here to tell you why you need to get an HVAC zone control system. I can’t wait for you to learn more about this type of heating and cooling system because I know you will like it alot. It doesn’t matter if you have a small or large house, because you will save money wither. When my HVAC worker came back to check on my HVAC system I was happy to tell him that I saved half of the money I normally spent on my HVAC system. You can ask your local HVAC worker for more information on HVAC zone control

Husband installs new HVAC unit

If you get HVAC zone control in your house it will seriously change your life.

  • I know that when I first got HVAC zone control I was really happy about how great it was.

For most of my life I have had a central heating and cooling system. I just thought that was the best of HVAC technology. Then I married a man that happens to be an HVAC worker and he just put the best HVAC system in our house. When my husband first moved into my house with me he told me how outdated my HVAC system was. Then he said he would save up for a better HVAC system for us. I can’t believe how good it felt to get rid of an old and loud HVAC unit for once and for all. The HVAC system that we have now costs us so much less than the old HVAC system. I really think we will end up making money back from our HVAC equipment. It was fun to watch my husband install the HVAC unit because I never get to see him while at work with his HVAC company. I never knew there could be so many different HVAC parts, I really couldn’t keep up. When my husband tries to talk to me about HVAC units I just pretend to understand what he is saying because it really just goes right over my head. However, I am really happy with our new HVAC unit.

I am trying flipping

My sibling and I started buying fixer-upper houses at bargain prices, then my friend and I are both handyman-types and wanted to supplement the income from our afternoon jobs by flipping houses, and there’s a relaxing line between fixing up a house too much – and never getting a return on your investment, or not fixing it up enough – and not being able to sell it. My sibling is adept at plumbing, and he often needs to upgrade supply lines and drain pipes. My speciality is in drywall and cupboards, both of which are at the top of the list for upgradements in run-down homes… But when it comes to heating and cooling systems, my associate and I actually need a professional Heating and A/C company; As a rule, Heating, Ventilation and air conditioning companys have a bad reputation, as they are not all licensed by the state, if the company is licensed, it means that he or she is licensed to work with gas, electricity and plumbing. After researching the workers in the area, my associate and I learned that experience isn’t everything; For example, a company may have twenty years in the business, but might not be well-versed in the newer technology. As a rule, my associate and I depend on referrals from people that my associate and I know and trust. And it’s important that the company supply a detailed written quote in case there are legal concerns down the road! Similarly, the lowest estimate is not constantly the best choice. This is because the heating and cooling system is such a major investment, that nice quality is essential! We’ve worked hard to make wise choices in our new venture, and our results have been particularly rewarding.

Make room for her

It’s been coming for years – my mother has had to move in with us, being unable to care for herself. First she needed to have open heart surgery to have a heart valve replaced. After that her lungs started to give her complications, even though she has never smoked a day in her life. She now needs to supplement her oxygen intake while she sleeps. And finally my pal and I started noticing the early signs of dementia, just enough to fear what might happen if she still lived alone. My associate and I had a small apartment built as an addition to our home, plus although it cost quite a bit to build, my pal and I were able to use the money from the sale of her house. The Heating plus A/C supplier said that our existing heating plus cooling system had the capacity to heat/cool the additional square footage. He strongly commanded that my pal and I install a ductless mini split system, as older folks tend to have genuinely bizarre preferences for temperature control settings than others. My associate and I chose an Heating plus A/C controller that looked a lot like the remote control for our cable. This remote control would allow us to turn the system on or off, set the temperature, air speed, plus vane direction. My associate and I did look into having a wi-fi adapter installed, which would have allowed control over the Heating plus A/C system from a mobile device. But my pal and I decided against the extra cost! Once my mother moved into her up-to-date apartment, she was genuinely grateful to us, although it took her awhile to adjust to her up-to-date home. But my pal and I have no regrets regarding our Heating plus A/C choices. Had my pal and I not chosen the mini split system plus corresponding controls, she would have wanted the heat plus cooling system set too high for our comfort level.
