Bringing residential Heating, Ventilation and A/C to my home

I live so far out in the woods that I don’t even hook up to the electrical grid.

And I don’t guess that will ever change while in my life time.

But honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. In fact, I set my life up to live self sustainably from the start. Once I was out of university, I knew that I wanted to live way out in the wilderness. Something about being self satisfactory resonated deeply within my heart and soul. Yet, I still had to make money so I ended up inside the commercial Heating, Ventilation and A/C of a corporate office for about 10 years. That’s how long it took for me to get the money together in order to put my plan into arena. I spent that decade inside apartments that had pretty awful Heating, Ventilation and A/C equipment. But living cheaply allowed me to get to my goal of living self satisfactoryly that much quicker. I started by buying the condo and then slowly building a home. Once I was there full time, I was able to plant a garden and install a solar array for electricity. I had a large wood stove for heating while in the winter time but there was no a/c for the summer. I changed all that not too long ago by bringing residential Heating, Ventilation and A/C out to the wilderness. My solar array produces all the electricity I need which allows me to run a ductless heat pump for a/c while in the tepid months of the summer. I do not use the ductless heat pump all that often except at evening in order to sleep. But having that a/c from the ductless heat pump absolutely has made a tremendous difference when it comes to the cooling comfort I need at evening.

Loving my garage again with ductless heat pump

It’s no longer an embarrassment to open the garage door. That’s a large change for me, however for the better part of the last decade, I was too ashamed of the state of my garage to even open the door! Plus, there was so much junk that I absolutely didn’t want to open the door to have it spill out into the driveway. That’s how bad it got. And what’s unusual is inside the central a/c of our home, it’s so disinfect and organized, and yet, my wonderful friend and I were forever just tossing stuff my wonderful friend and I didn’t use or didn’t want to deal with out into the garage. The smells alone we are so intense that I had to keep extra weather stripping on the door leading to the garage. Finally, I just couldn’t take it any longer; I provided almost everyone honorablewarning to get what they wanted out of the garage or it was going to charity or the dump. And I followed up on my warning with action. It took 3 weekends of near constant effort to finally get the garage disinfect and organized. But it was well worth the effort. Once I realized that this was a wonderful space, I called the Heating, Ventilation and A/C dealer. My pal and I live in a region where my wonderful friend and I deal with a lot of heat and humidity. I wanted to be able to go outside in the garage to tinker at my current workbench while in the summer. There was no way that was going to happen without some a/c. So the Heating, Ventilation and A/C contractor installed a ductless heat pump to provide the cooling comfort I needed. It’s absolutely nice to be able to open the garage door without embarrassment. Yet, it’s even nicer to keep it closed while in the summer time to prefer the a/c I get from the ductless heat pump.

Realtor was right about Heating, Ventilation and A/C update

Selling our family condo was one of the toughest things my partner and I have ever undertaken, however and that’s saying a lot given the fact that we’ve navigated raising a family and maintaining works inside the commercial Heating, Ventilation and A/C of the office, then but selling the house was indeed the toughest both physically and emotionally; We’re legitimately close to retirement so obviously, my wonderful friend and I are in our 60’s, and even though I still feel full of energy, there are limitations to what my wonderful friend and I can get done.

And that was a large part of how difficult this whole thing was… The realtor who listed our house was great; She helped us prioritize all the necessary updates that my wonderful friend and I needed to do to our home. There were a lot of things; My partner and I thought my wonderful friend and I could do most of them in order to keep the costs down. That proved to be super challenging. But when it came to the Heating, Ventilation and A/C unit update, everything went beautifully, however of course, that was thanks to the beautiful Heating, Ventilation and A/C professionals at our Heating, Ventilation and A/C dealer.

But this time, my wonderful friend and I wanted to get the latest in Heating, Ventilation and A/C technology in order to add as much value to the house as my wonderful friend and I could. The Heating, Ventilation and A/C contractor was all over it and got us just what my wonderful friend and I were looking for. Thanks to the renovations and the current residential Heating, Ventilation and A/C, my wonderful friend and I were able to get our asking price for our home.

So impressed with ductwork cleaning and ductwork resealing

I imagined that my loft was just super clean.

  • And it should be given the attention that my partner I deliver to taking care of our home, it’s just the two of us and two cats inside the central a/c of home, then my associate and I cherish those cats so much but my associate and I are consistently cleaning as they shed so much.

It seems that one of us is consistently vacuuming or wiping things down. That’s why I was stunned one evening when I was relaxing after toil inside the a/c last summer. I had gotten home late and wanted to do nothing but have a glass of wine and go to bed. But as I was sipping my wine in the cooling comfort of my family room, I watched as a dust ball floated down from the Heating and A/C air vent. I wasn’t sure if I saw what I saw or if it was the long day and the wine… Upon further inspection, I could see that the air duct behind air vent was filthy. So much for thinking that you have such a wash house. The next day, I called Heating and A/C company. I made an appointment for ductwork cleaning and ductwork resealing. The crew came out a few mornings later and did an amazing job inside our home. I truly loved how careful the Heating and A/C professionals were when performing their duties. But wow, what a difference in indoor air quality after the ductwork cleaning. And the ductwork resealing is going to increase and maximize the efficiency of our Heating and A/C equipment as well. I simply couldn’t be more content with the results of this Heating and A/C service.

Made a boneheaded transport with HVAC equipment

Ego sure can get in the way of living my life. And what’s so weird is the fact that I’m not exactly a walking advertisement of machismo. In fact, if I had to say it, I’d absolutely agree that I tend to the more sensitive side. But the male ego is always waiting in the wings to zap a dude. And that’s sure what happened when I came apartment to A/C that wasn’t working. I was confused right off the bat by the boiling apartment once I entered after leaving the commercial HVAC at the office. It was clear that the A/C was not cooling the house. But what had me stumped was the fact that the A/C component was running as it normally would. I walked outside just to double check, however the heat pump was doing its thing. I went over to the control machine plus sure enough, it had power however the inside temperature was way up. Since the heat pump was running, the worst side of my guy brain thought it would be a great idea to figure out if I could solve the problem. And that is that ego rearing its ugly head. I absolutely did not want to be the guy who simply had to flip on the cooling switch to get the A/C running. But that is how little I knew about anything that comes to the heating plus cooling in my house. Of course, I did not find the answer plus only ended up more exasperated than when I got home. I finally did call the HVAC professionals plus they were able to repair it in under 30 minutes. I’m just blessed I did not end up ruining something that would have cost me a ton of money.

Geothermal heat pump just made so much more sense

I have to say that I’m absolutely surprised by where we landed for our retirement. What makes it all the more surprising is the fact that it’s not at all where my fiance plus I planned to be. The plan was to transport south to all the A/C plus leave any semblance of winter season behind. My friend and I even upgraded the residential HVAC in our outdated apartment plus sold it in anticipation of moving south. My friend and I rented an home for the final year of my career plus were ready to go south to the land of the heat pump. Well, we ended up getting the heat pump however it sure wasn’t where we planned on being. Our daughter provided birth to our first grandchild plus we decided to transport closer to her in the midwest. And with the money we made from selling our house, we chose to build a house. It was something that we had always wanted to do anyway. My friend and I are thrilled to be living here plus love our new home. My friend and I especially love the residential HVAC. Instead of going the traditional route, we decided to go with a geothermal heat pump. It just made so much more sense all the way around. My friend and I absolutely wanted the heating plus cooling in our apartment to be sustainable. And even though a geo heat pump comes with higher initial costs, it was worth it in the long run. Not only do I love the radiant floor heating however the cost of HVAC is far less with a geo heat pump. So it all turned out absolutely well plus we’re thrilled right where we are.

Getting my own space came with an HVAC addition

We weren’t two weeks into being cooped up inside the central A/C of our apartment before I knew that I needed my own space, however for one, I absolutely didn’t like having to share the A/C inside the small apartment office with my fiance.

Much of my work requires a lot concentration plus focus.

But my fiance spends much of her afternoon on the iPhone talking with customers. Sharing a small space like that can be absolutely challenging. I just couldn’t ever not sort of listen to her conversations which kept me from focusing on my work. But getting a location of my own, where I could absolutely do some work, was not going to be the easiest thing. Initially, I tried laying under the HVAC air duct at the family room table. But there were constant interruptions given the fact that all of our children were also apartment universitying online. So there just absolutely wasn’t anywhere inside the central A/C of my apartment that I could go for some privacy. That’s how I ended up with a ductless heat pump in my garage. It was absolutely the only space that was left in my house. So I had the local HVAC dealer come out plus install some residential HVAC. And then I put an office in the corner of my garage. It absolutely worked out just enjoyable while I was at apartment during the pandemic. And I love it now as it’s a great spot to be quiet or to go out plus do some tinkering. Whatever the interest, I sure do love the quality heating plus air provided by the ductless heat pump.

Got the sort of quality heating plus air we need from ductless heat pumps

That’s when we learned about the ductless multi-split alternative

Necessity may indeed be the mother of invention. I guess that is one of those basic truths in this life. But necessity can also end up showing you a whole new perspective just when you didn’t expect it. That’s exactly what happened for my fiance plus during a recent HVAC crisis. This wasn’t something like the gas heating system going out in our apartment or anything like that, and no, both my fiance plus I decided to retire early plus pursue owning rental properties. My friend and I both absolutely love the process of taking an older apartment plus turning it into something pretty fantastic. We’ve done this several times in our own lives while we were still working inside the commercial HVAC of corporate America. The more we talked about it, the more it made sense for us to take this option to do what we wanted to do while we still could. At this point we’re up to five properties. Almost all these properties are smaller starter homes that need a lot of work. And in every case thus far, we’ve had to upgrade the residential HVAC. On our last home, we got a little bit cocky by getting a lease signed prior to all the renovations being done on the house. So we were on the clock with a deadline when we found out the air duct in the apartment wasn’t usable. It was absolutely necessary that we found an alternative because we had to have the HVAC component upgrade completed immediately. That’s when we learned about the ductless multi-split alternative. My friend and I used ductless heat pumps in that situation plus we are so satisfied with the results, we’re going to do all our homes this way.

So impressed with air duct cleaning plus air duct resealing

We cherish those cats so much but we are regularly cleaning as they shed so much. It seems that one of us is regularly vacuuming or wiping things down. That’s why I was stunned one evening when I was good after labor inside the a/c last summer. I had gotten dwelling late plus wanted to do nothing but have a glass of wine plus go to bed. But as I was sipping my wine in the cooling comfort of my residing room, I watched as a dust ball floated down from the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C air vent. I wasn’t sure if I saw what I saw or if it was the long afternoon plus the wine, upon further inspection, I could see that the air duct behind air vent was filthy. So much for thinking that you have such a disinfect house. The next afternoon, I called Heating, Ventilation plus A/C supplier. I made an appointment for air duct cleaning plus air duct resealing. The crew came out a few days later plus did an amazing task inside our home. I really enjoyed how careful the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C professionals were when performing their duties.

Stayed house for Christmas with my own thermostat

My wife finally admitted that this was the best Christmas we’d ever had.

I knew this however for sure, I wasn’t going to say anything.

I was the main reason why this holiday season was so different. That’s because I told my wife as well as her parents that they were welcome inside the central a/c of our house for Christmas. But I wasn’t making that trip any longer. My wife as well as I have now been married for 17 years. My friend and I ended up having dogs instead of having youngsters. That meant we consistently had to travel to my wife’s parents house for family Christmas. But the last time we were there, my nieces as well as nephews could not be bothered as well as we barely saw them. So the idea of leaving attractive weather down south just wasn’t worth it anymore. Why should I leave an section that doesn’t even need the heat pump to be working to go deal with a serious winter? Plus, my wife’s parents keep their thermostat pegged as well as the gas boiler on almost consistently. It’s one thing to be in a region where it’s chilly outside. But it’s a whole other thing to have to sweat it out while you’re inside. So I finally just said I was done with the traveling as well as they were welcome to come here. Surprisingly, they chose to come down as well as spend Christmas with us as well as my thermostat setting. But we ended up having just the best time ever. And it only took my wife two weeks to finally divulge that this particularly was the best Christmas ever.
