My tiny lake household came without Heating, Ventilation, and A/C and I knew I had to have it. I called the people I bought the tiny lake house from, and asked what happened to the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system. They said it was included in the package, but they were honestly wrong. The people […]

I spent two days sitting in front of the fireplace wrapped in a blanket because our furnace couldn’t keep the house warm. It was only negative two in the middle of the day, and I swore we had nearly as much wind in the house as we had outside. My husband said it was the […]

My tiny beach lake dwelling came without Heating plus A/C plus I knew I had to have it! I called the people I bought the tiny beach lake house from, plus asked what happened to the Heating plus A/C appliance. They said it was included in the package, but they were absolutely wrong. The people […]

I called the HvAC company last week because a question I wanted to ask. We knew we needed new air conditioning before summer, and our furnace was older than the AC unit. My husband and I had been talking about having mini split ductless HVAC installed because it was less work, and more efficient. Before […]

My tiny home came without HVAC and I knew I had to have it. I called the people I bought the tiny home from, and asked what happened to the HVAC system. They said it was included in the package, but they were wrong. The people who put my house together, didn’t find an HVAC […]

Losing my job put a dent on our income. We went from a dual income household to a one income home, and that has been hard. My partner is the best because he’s always said he will hold down the fort until I find something else to do. At one time thought about working at […]

Craig and Alicia own a small sweets shop in town. This shop has been in the same area for close to 3 decades but with different owners. Summers are the most busy time for the sweet shop since the area is popular with tourists who flock to the national park nearby. So, many homes offer […]

It seemed like something else was lacking in the heating equipment. My brother’s asthmatic attacks kept getting more frequent despite adequate medical care, however my parents thought they had done everything they could without limiting his freedom; I joked that maybe it was time to follow the example of the Everything, Everything rue plus make […]

I talked with our aunt about electricity bills in our beach house since I still use an electric furnace. She uses a propane furnace & still feels that an electric furnace is a luxurious thing. I argued that the gas price had also gone high, so pretty much everyone needs to figure out how to […]

It was a hot summer time day and Carl was kneeling in her office, trying to concentrate on her work. Suddenly, she heard a unusual noise coming from the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C unit. She tried to ignore it, but the sound kept getting louder and more persistent… Carl got up from her […]

For a long time my boyfriend and I had a toilet issue. The stupid thing would never flush. You would push down on the handle and it felt flimsy and gross. My boyfriend isn’t all that handy of a guy. He told me we should call a plumber for a toilet repair. I didn’t feel […]

It’s just no fun to be scared awake. And it’s even less fun to be scared awake during the wee hours by the gas furnace. But that’s just what happened several weeks ago. Of course, this heating breakdown occurred on one of the coldest nights so far this year. We live in a region where […]

It just makes so much more sense than having to remember to call for air conditioning tune ups in the spring and the heating maintenance in the fall. It’s like a rite of spring each year when I call the HVAC company. I call the HVAC professionals every year about this time to schedule the […]

There is an area on the roof of my house where two angles meet. This area tends to get a lot of water. Water runs down from both of the parts of the roof to this one central place. We have flashing on the bottom of the roof to make sure that the water travels […]

I’m going to have to get some roof repairs done on my house. We had a big storm here a few weeks ago, and a lot of tree branches fell down onto our roof. The roofing that is on our house is regular old shingles. We had it put on about five years ago, and […]
