We were so happy to skip the annual Christmas trip up north. I had always felt a little bad about leaving a winter that was perfectly mild for one that required a gas furnace to stay warm. In fact, during the winter at home, we hardly ever use the heat pump for heating at all. […]

One of the more difficult things I’ve done in my life was taking on a custom home build project. Simply put, I’m very happy that I postponed that endeavor until after I retired. I had no chance of managing all the details of a custom home build while working all day in the office’s industrial […]

For me, being in the zone-controlled HVAC at the corporate offices felt a lot like crossing the finish line. Before moving to a place with almost flawless commercial HVAC, I spent nearly 15 years working for the same company. Because of this, I had no desire to leave. In fact, over the course of my […]

My older children are a great asset. We originally intended to raise a family when my wife and I purchased this home. Because of this, even though the larger house required more work, we chose it. It was more crucial for us to have room to raise our children than it was to have the […]

Money doesn’t always make you happy, but sometimes you can buy things with it that do make you happy! I have been thinking about this a whole lot lately. I think that the older I get, the more I think about things like this. I just don’t really understand how the world has gotten into […]

Yesterday when I went outside, I saw that there were a half a dozen guys in HVAC company uniforms up on the roof of my building. I don’t know what they were doing out there. Granted, though, there are often lots of people up on the roof that I don’t even know about. I guess […]

He’s always worrying about the fact that the heating and cooling bills are just going to be too expensive for the month. This year’s birthday present for my dad is going to be the best 1 that all of us have ever gotten for him… I am so gleeful about giving it to him that […]

Last weekend, I went to a concert plus the music was amazing. I wish that I could say the same about the indoor air quality inside of the concert arena, though. The inside air quality in the arena was actually exhausting plus I wasn’t sure at one point if I was even going to make […]

Last weekend, I went to a concert and the tunes was amazing. I wish that I could say the same about the indoor air conditions inside of the concert venue, though. The inside air quality in the venue was certainly poor and I wasn’t sure at one point if I was even going to make […]

Jenny is the sole owner of the business, plus also the lead Heating and A/C specialist for all replacement projects I appreciate to tell people that I was raised by “old university” parents, but this is just a nice way of saying they were strict plus religious. I was the oldest of various siblings, plus […]

I didn’t think much of it when the air conditioner in my vehicle gave out on me last week. I knew that I didn’t have the money to put forth to fix it quite yet, but I’m a hardy individual and I figured that I could make it for a couple weeks without it. That […]

I’m glad that she seems to have the funds to maintain her furnace, and it’s relatively new, because it was replaced just a few years ago, so I’m happy about that I really enjoy visiting my grandmother as often as I can. She lives about 25 minutes away. I moved further out to the edge […]

I made it to an afternoon session about solar powered space heaters, but got violently ill and had to leave early I went to a convention for work, and will admit that I got a little crazy. I have been in the business for over eight years now, but this was the first time I […]

I like having a reading room in my home. A quiet place of reflection, where electronic devices are not allowed, where I can relax, read, or meditate. Some months ago I moved to the pacific northwest for an exciting job opportunity. I converted a spare bedroom into my reading room. It was lovely, with a […]

Decades ago, comic books were considered to be disposable. They were printed on cheap paper using cheap ink, they didn’t cost much, and it was expected they would be thrown away after being read. As everyone knows, currently old comic books are incredibly valuable. It is very hard to maintain them in excellent condition because […]
