When I visited the south, I was expecting the warmer temperatures. I studied the weather channel before leaving and I packed my bag with everything I thought I’d need. It wasn’t until I stepped off the plane that I realized I’d miscalculated. The temperature was definitely as warm as I was expecting, but what I
There are so many great things about the new ductless mini split system I just had installed in my loft. Before I had the ductless mini split system installed, I was clueless about why the loft in my house was always warmer than the rest of the house. It wasn’t until I was forced to
Having a dad who is a certified HVAC professional has been amazing. I didn’t fully appreciate my dad’s career choice until I moved out on my own. The first apartment I rented had a horrible HVAC system and my monthly utility costs were through the roof. In order to save money, I was forced to
I’ve always been really adamant about having my HVAC system serviced. I understand that I don’t have any knowledge about furnaces or air conditioning units, so it’s important for me to let a certified professional take care of my HVAC system instead. I have a fear that if I try to handle anything with my
After moving into my current house, I began renovating it right away. I wanted to update the 1970’s house and transform it into something more modern. I tried to take on a lot of projects at once, but I quickly became overwhelmed and mentally exhausted. This is when I decided to take each project one
The house already had ductwork for central AC, so I really leaned toward that option I purchased this house with the intention of renovating everything. It was a house built in the 70’s, so everything was outdated and the previous owner didn’t spare any expenses trying to update it before he or she left. There
My best friend had been planning a big move for over a month. She accepted an incredible job promotion, which took her from living down south to living way up north. She was excited for the change and she even looked forward to the different seasons that she’d get to experience. Living down south means
My parents have been living in the same house for over 20 years and they really didn’t want to move. When I first heard my parents discussing the thought of moving, I was shocked! They loved the house they were in and there were so many great memories between those walls. I asked them why
Last year, my husband and I replaced our electric furnace with a gas furnace. We debated for several weeks on the kind of furnace we were going to install, but we ultimately chose the gas furnace because it was strong and efficient. The HVAC professional’s we spoke to assured us that the gas furnace was
When my sister picked me up from the airport, I told her how cold it felt outside. I live in the south, where the temperature doesn’t drop below 75 degrees until the middle of October. My sister lives up north, where there’s a chance it could snow by this time. Even though I used to
All my life, my brother has lived in a constant mess and it’s always bothered me. I’m the complete opposite, because I like order, structure, and tidiness. Although we never shared a room, his messy room bothered me from a distance. Sometimes, I’d clean his room just because I couldn’t stand to look at it.
Another possible con is that a metal roof is louder than a shingle one The previous homeowner did a horrible job of picking colors in my opinion. The interior of my house was all shades of beige and brown. The walls were all beige and there was wood furniture. The carpets were all slightly different
I don’t understand my HVAC system and it really frustrates me. When I moved into this old house, I wasn’t anticipating the demands that an older HVAC system would require. I thought that the furnace and air conditioner would run a little inefficiently, but it would otherwise be easy to upkeep. I was really wrong.
My brother got really sick last week and he asked if I’d come stay with him for a few days. He’s the baby of the family and our parents live hundreds of miles away, so the thought of staying alone while he was sick sounded miserable to him. Me being the best big brother I
