The HVAC Heros

The entire crowd cheered with delight as we were told about the new air conditioning system

I have worked for the same company for over fifteen years now. It is not really that I love what I do. It is that I love the people that I work with everyday. I have some of the best coworkers on the planet, and my manager is the sweetest person ever. She works so hard to make sure that everyone under her is fully trained and equipped for the task that they are given. I have never once heard her raise her voice at anyone even if they were annoying her on purpose. It is for these reasons that I have stayed with this company for so long. It has not been an easy fifteen years especially not during the summer months because the air conditioning system at work has never worked well. It does not cool the building hardly at all. It is always warm and stuffy in the building no matter where you are at. I have a fan in my office that I keep pointed at me all day long in order to stay cool enough. It was hard to deal with, and one of my coworkers quit working there after just a couple of years because they could not stand the heat of the summer months. I was so happy when we were called to a meeting yesterday, and we were told that a new air conditioning system was being installed next week throughout the entire building. We would no longer have to suffer through the brutal summer months. The entire crowd cheered with delight as we were told about the new air conditioning system. I really hope that all goes as planned, and we will have a new air conditioning system by the end of next week.

I have a very cold apartment and an even colder bedroom.

I do not know why, but my apartment is always colder than it should be.

I have the thermostat set for seventy-five degrees, and it never gets above sixty degrees in my apartment. I told my landlord about the issue, but he has not had anyone take a look at it yet. Last winter, I lived with it, and I was fine. This winter is quite a bit cooler, and I think that makes a huge difference. My bedroom is even colder than the rest of the apartment, and I think that is because there are so many windows in my bedroom. I thought it was really cool when I first moved into the apartment. I loved all of the windows. It makes the room very bright and inviting, but I did not realize back then how much heat I would lose through those beautiful windows. I bought a small space heater to go in my bedroom last Winter. I used it all Winter long, and it worked great at keeping my bedroom warmer. I used it for the first half of this Winter as well, and it worked great until I woke up one night in horror. The heater had caught on fire. It had melted the outlet completely. Thankfully, I was able to get the fire out on my own, and it did not ruin much. I have learned my lesson and I will not be using a space heater in my bedroom or any part of my apartment ever again.

I absolutely love surprises. I think that the only thing that I like more than being surprised is surprising someone else. My husband is a planner, and he would rather know things ahead of time than be surprised by something. I guess opposites really do attract because I am certainly not a planner, and I love surprises. I enjoy surprising him against his will quite often. In the end, he is usually really happy with what I surprise him with, and it also gives me a chance to do what I love. My husband and I recently worked on a surprise for my grandmother together. She has always loved the heated flooring in our house, and we wanted to surprise her with heated flooring in her house for her birthday. It was not an easy task. She never leaves her house for longer than a couple of hours at a time. I ended up inviting her over to our house for a weekend visit. We live about an hour and a half away, so she usually stays the night whenever she comes to visit. We celebrated her birthday at our house, and little did she know that heated flooring was being installed at her house. My husband knows of a really great HVAC company in her area, so we hired them to install the flooring. There were a couple of hurdles along the way, so it ended up taking a day longer, and it was super hard to convince my grandma to stay another day at our house, but we were eventually able to do it. She was so surprised when she returned home, and there were heated floors installed throughout the entire first floor of her house.

My parents always said “show me your friends, and I will show you your future.” It was a pretty powerful statement in my mind.

I truly believe that that statement kept me from making many wrong choices when it came to picking friends.

I am so thankful that I have never had a friend that lead me down the wrong path. Although I did not have any bad friends, I did have many crazy friends in my childhood. I have to admit that some of them were quite odd. I had one friend who had a strange phobia of not having the air conditioning on in her room. If she did not have the air conditioning on, she would stat having a panic attack. She kept the air conditioner on 24/7, year round. We lived way up north, so most of the year was not warm enough to even need to use an air conditioner. She did not care though. She never turned her air conditioner off, and her siblings knew how much she could not stand sleeping without air conditioning. They would sneak in her room at night and turn off the air conditioner. It was truly a very unkind thing to do, but somehow, she lived through it. I can remember countless nights sleeping over her house and freezing all night long. I always brought extra blankets, but it was still so cold in her room that it was hard to sleep. My family ended up moving, and we lost contact with that precious friend of mine. I wonder if she still has to sleep with air conditioning some twenty-five years later.

My husband, Todd, does a lot of traveling for his job.

He gets to travel all over the United States, and sometimes, he even gets to travel outside of the States.

My favorite trips are the trips that I get to go with him. I do not get to go with him very often, so we make the most of it when I do get to go. The last trip that I went on was by far my favorite. It was so much fun. We traveled to Asia, and we got to stay for about two weeks. We had the time of our lives sightseeing, and the best part was that our hotels were all paid for by his company. It was certainly a trip of a lifetime, but something happened at home while we were gone that we were unaware of. There was a bad storm one night, and the power was off for about half a day. It would not have been that big of a deal if our furnace would have turned back on after the power outage. It was about a week before we got home when the power went off, so by the time we got home, the furnace had been off for an entire week. This was in the middle of January, and it was below twenty degrees outside. We literally came home to a freezing house. The pipes were frozen, and we were so upset. My husband tried to fire up the furnace when we got home, but it would not turn on. We ended up having to call a HVAC technician to come fix the furnace for us. We replaced most of the pipes in our home, and in the end it was quite an expensive ordeal.
temperature control

I moved up north about seventeen years ago, and I absolutely love it here.

I met my sweet husband about fourteen years ago, and we got married only seven months after we met.

We have had a wonderful life together. I thought for sure that I would want to move South once we got married, but I certainly did not want to move. We both love it here even though it does get pretty cold and snowy during the winter months. When I was a girl, I remember having to use air conditioning almost year round. It was so hot. The only months that we did not use the air conditioner were the months of December and January. Where my husband and I live now, that is not the case. It is warm in the summertime, but that is about it. From September through May, there is absolutely no need for air conditioning. In fact, many of our friends do not even own an air conditioner. We had one window unit that we used in our living room during the summer months. We planned on using it this summer, but there was an accident while bringing it into the house. My husband had it stored in the shed, and he went to bring it in the house because it was starting to get hot. He tripped over something on his way in the house and dropped the air conditioner. It broke into multiple pieces, and we were not able to repair it. I guess we will be purchasing a new air conditioner for our living room soon.

I never thought that having children would be so much work.

Do not get me wrong; I love my children to death, and they are worth all of the work. Being a parent is just a little difficult at times. I have three children. Our oldest is twelve, and our youngest is four. My four year old has been going through one of those tough stages. Everyone talks about the “terrible twos”, but I honestly think that my son has had a harder time while being four than while being two. He is trying to do his own thing which is awesome, but he gets himself into trouble quite often. A few weeks ago, my husband and I began noticing that the house was much warmer than usual. I checked the thermostat, and it was set higher than we usually keep it. I ask all three of my children if they had touched the thermostat, and all three of them said that they did not touch it. About three days later, the thermostat was changed again. I asked my children once again if they had touched the thermostat, and they all said that they had not. I was so frustrated because the house was literally twenty degrees warmer than what I had set the thermostat to. After three weeks of this happening every three or four days, I caught my youngest son standing on a chair and adjusting the thermostat. He was the culprit. I could not believe how he timed it because I am almost always watching him. He did it while I was doing dishes in the kitchen. I am glad we finally figured out who was adjusting it though.

My husband, Todd, and I have been trying to figure out if we want to move or put money into remodeling our current home.

We have been going back and forth about it for about three years now. The reason that we want to move is because the house is old, and we do not have as much land as we would like. The reason we do not want to move is because we love our house, and we have many fond memories here. We have done a little bit of remodeling, but it has not been anything major. I forgot to mention that one other reason that we would like to move or remodel is because the house is very hard to heat in the winter. The winters here are brutally cold, and our house loses heat very quickly because of the old windows and lack of insulation. My husband and I have tried a couple different things to keep the house warmer. Last winter, we bought a propane fireplace, and we really regretted that. I do not think it would have been as bad if we would have bought it brand new, but we bought it used from someone on the internet. It honestly looked beautiful. It was a nice cherry wood color, and I was excited about it at first. We lit the fireplace for the first time and found out that it did not lite correctly. My husband replaced a part, and it helped. Whoever owned it before us put a sticker on the back part of the fireplace, so when the fireplace was on it covered our entire living room in black soot. Needless to say, we no longer have that propane fireplace.

I asked him how much it would cost, and it was super extravagant

I wish I knew ahead of time when something was going to go wrong. I know that everyone would say that, however it just isn’t usually possible to know when something is going to go wrong. I took a long road trip with one of my friends last week, and it was the worst road trip of my life. It would have been good if the A/C in my vehicle had not stopped toiling within the first few hours of the trip. I have never had any problems with my car, so I thought that it would be a good idea for us to take my vehicle on the road trip. Well, my A/C apparently had other ideas. It started getting boiling in the car, so I turned the cooling system way down to the coldest temperature. I also turned the blower on full blast. It just seemed like the air that was blowing out was not honestly cool, and I found out later that it particularly wasn’t. I called my hubby and asked him why the cooling system would be blowing out boiling air, and he said that it particularly had a leak. My pal and I stopped by a mechanic about ten hours into our road trip, and he told us that one of our A/C lines was leaking, and it needed to be substituted. I asked him how much it would cost, and it was super extravagant. I decided not to get it substituted because I did not want to spend the money on it at that time. I almost wish that I would have because the rest of the trip was quite miserable without A/C.
heating and cooling provider

I obtained my home about three years ago; I got a actually enjoyable deal on the home because it needed quite a bit of work, but when I first looked at the house, I was not convinced that it was for me.

• I legitimately continued looking for houses for about another three months… My mind kept going back to this home though.

I actually liked the layout of it, and it had a lot of land with it. It had the potential of being my dream home, however I knew that it would need a lot of labor to be just that. I decided to just go ahead and buy it and labor on it for as long as I needed to make it my dream home. Well, it has been three years, and I am about half way done. I had to take a little cut from the aesthetics of my home to save money to repair my air conditioner. I knew that the air conditioner was not toiling when I obtained the house. I also knew that anything Heating and Air Conditioning related would be an overpriced fix, however I took that into consideration. It took me a few months of saving in order to be able to afford fixing my air conditioner. I am so thrilled that I decided to do that before continuing to repair up my house. It is so much nicer toiling in an air conditioned house. It makes me so happy to be nice and cool. I find that I get more labor done as well. I have a long way to go, however at least I have A/C now.
