Off to the Races

With Summer just start there are several things that my adolescents are looking forward to.

Of course, not going to school is a major one.

I believe all of us can agree that this is one of the largest benefits of summer. However, one of my children’s favorite parts of this time of year is the county tolerable that happens in November, but now our region experiences hot & cold temperatures in the upper 74s during that time & it is an effort to stay cool while you are at the fairgrounds. I don’t believe it affects adolescents as much as it does adults because they are so excited about the rides & the exhibits, and each year my pal and I buy tickets so that my pal and I can spend at least three days at the tolerable & because they are not designated for a particular day it is nice because my pal and I can plan to go on cooler days. There are a few buildings at the fairgrounds that are weather conditions-controlled & my pal and I try to attend shows or exhibits in there when it is the middle of the day, of course, so does all the people else. These shows are usually packed with people & that still makes it uncomfortable. My great friend and I tend to spend most of our time trying to find shade somewhere well the adolescents run & go on the rides. I myself, will even tend to spend a lot of my time in the animal barns because at least I am not standing in the baking sun. My great friend and I have a lot of great memories that have been made at the tolerable & will continue to go each year even though it is during the hottest part of Summer.

HVAC deals in the Fall

It seems like we have commercials on television and in the paper all the time now for HVAC companies.

I never really noticed them before but for some reason this year they just seem to be in excess.

Each one is offering a different deal when it comes to tuning up your system or replacing it before the upcoming winter and they got me thinking about ours that is over 20 years old. I spoke to my husband and ask him if we should look into possibly replacing the boiler in the basement because I was sure that it was an inefficient way to heat after all these years. He decided to contact a local dealer and see what other options were available to us. When we had purchased the boiler all those years ago it was one of the most efficient ones on the market so I was hopeful that he was still a better choice because I didn’t want to spend the extra money on a new system. The salesman that came out to the house took a look at everything and in fact confirmed that our boiler was still working fine. He did suggest that we replaced part of the exhaust pipe because he noticed that head corroded and had small holes in it which could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. I was glad that we had the system looked at and I was very glad that used the exhaust pipe when they did because that could have been disastrous. Systems like the one we have require little maintenance and are normally very efficient. It never hurts to have an assessment done of your home though to make sure that you are saving as much money as possible on your utility bills.

My crazy cat loves the air conditioner

Living up north you seldom see I need for a complete HVAC system.

Everyone has some sort of heat in their house whether it is a forced air system or a boiler or even a wood-burning stove, but many people don’t have air conditioning at all. As my husband and I have gotten older we have become less tolerant of the heat during the summer so we decided to have an air conditioner installed in the house. We already had an existing forced air furnace so it was easy to incorporate the air conditioning into that and use the existing ductwork. We thoroughly enjoy having the house nice and cool on a hot summer day but after it had been stalled for several months I began to notice a buildup of fur in my bedroom. Even though I vacuum on a somewhat regular basis I would find clumps of fur in the one corner of the room near one of the HVAC vents. We have three cats and for the most part they hang around in the windows to watch the world go by, but one of them has taken to staying in our room all day long. I just assumed that it was because he’s getting older and he really didn’t want to be bothered with people but one day I walked into the room to find him sprawled across the floor vent with the cold air blowing on him. Apparently he decided that he liked to sleep there and his fur blew everywhere around the vent. I couldn’t imagine how that was comfortable but he seemed to like it and it explains the clumps of fur all over my bedroom floor.

Rattling pipes

He went upstairs to ask my sister about how often she heard the noise and she said probably about every 30 minutes or so and then he informed her about where the noise was coming from.

My sister called me last week very upset because she thought someone was trying to get into her house. I asked her why she thought that. She said that she kept hearing a rattling noise followed by a loud thud in the basement. I was concerned because that did not sound like something that would be normal. She lives in an area of town that has a high crime rate so I felt she had reason to worry. My husband and I got in the car and headed right over to see if we could figure out what was happening. She said she didn’t want to involve the police if it was nothing because then if there really was a problem they wouldn’t come. When we arrived my husband headed down into the basement armed with a baseball bat to see if there was an intruder and found nothing. Well he was down there he did hear the rattling noise and the thud and realized it was coming from the boiler. He went upstairs to ask my sister about how often she heard the noise and she said probably about every 30 minutes or so and then he informed her about where the noise was coming from. He asked about the last time she had her system looked at, but she simply said she had never had anything done. He told her there was definitely something wrong with it and that she should call an HVAC dealer right away which she did the following morning. When they investigated they found that there was so much air in the lines that each time the system turned on it rattled through the pipes and that was what was causing the noises.

Radiant flooring was the best decision we ever made.

This is a very different form of heat and it’s also a cleaner form because you don’t have dust particles being blown around the room

We bought a house about 5 years ago and planned on doing a lot of renovations. I guess you could call it a fixer-upper. At first we thought we just had to do basic cosmetic fix-ups but as we got into the project we realized that there were structural problems that needed to be addressed. As he’s project progressed we spent more and more money and finally came to the realization that it would take many many years to fix all that we wanted to. We cut Corners where we could but there was one area where I refused to listen to anything less than what I wanted. That was when it came to our HVAC system and our overall comfort. We sacrificed a lot to get projects done but I always figured that the money we spent on our heating and cooling system would be well worth the investment. One thing that I really wanted was to have radiant flooring in the bathrooms as well as the kitchen because I didn’t want to have freezing cold feet all winter long. As we were putting in laminate flooring throughout the entire downstairs my husband suggested that we simply install the radiant flooring in all the rooms and we have never regretted that decision. Not only do we have warm feet in the winter but the overall air temperature is a constant warmth. There are different types of radiant heating, you can also put in baseboard heating. This is a very different form of heat and it’s also a cleaner form because you don’t have dust particles being blown around the room. I highly recommend that you contact an HVAC dealer if you are considering this type of flooring because it is worth every penny you will spend.

A lot of choices, so much money

My neighbors came apartment from the local cray show the other day unquestionably gleeful about some changes they were going to make me to their home! This type of thing seems to happen every year as well as they are consistently upgrading one thing or another, last year they added on a sunroom to the back of their condo as well as I have to admit that it is pretty cool, then i sporadically wish that we were in a position to make upgrades all the time but it just isn’tin the cards right now, then with student loans as well as both of us having entry level positions at work it will be a few years before we can make any major changes, but for now, we are just hoping that everything around the condo continues to work as well as we do not have to do major service bills! Anyway, one of the modern upgrades that our neighbors are making is the upgradement of their modern Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C system. When they added on the sunroom they did not include any sort of heating as well as cooling in that section because they felt they would only be using it during the warmer weather. They now want to be able to utilize the space year-round so thing have numerous Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C companies coming out to get them estimates on some sort of unit to control that room individually, however my neighbor said he does not want to go to the expense as well as trouble of affixing into their existing Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C system as well as he learned about numerous forms of technology that they could utilize in the modern space, but by installing something like a mini split unit that can hang on the wall they can keep the sunroom as a separate zone as well as only turn on the heat or a/c when needed. I will be talking to him more when the time comes as well as we can afford upgrades ourselves.

Off to the Event

With Summer just start there are many things that my adolescents are looking forward to, but of course, not going to school is a major one. I know all of us can agree that this is one of the greatest benefits of summer. However, one of my children’s number one parts of this time of year is the county fair that happens in September. Now our region experiences temperatures in the upper 72s while in that time plus it is an effort to stay cool while you are at the fairgrounds. I do not know it affects adolescents as much as it does adults because they are so happy about the rides plus the exhibits, then each year my friend and I buy tickets so that my friend and I can spend at least three nights at the fair plus because they are not designated for a certain day it is nice because my friend and I can plan to go on cooler nights. There are a few buildings at the fairgrounds that are temperature-controlled plus my friend and I try to attend shows or exhibits in there when it is the middle of the day, of course, so does everyone else. These shows are usually packed with people plus that still makes it uncomfortable. My pal and I tend to spend most of our time trying to find shade somewhere well the adolescents run plus go on the rides. I myself, will even tend to spend a lot of my time in the animal barns because at least I am not laying in the baking sun. My pal and I have a lot of great memories that have been made at the fair plus will continue to go each year even though it is while in the hottest part of Summer.

Rattling pipes

He asked about the last time she had her system looked at, although she simply said she had never had anything done

My sister called me last monthvery frustrated because she thought someone was trying to get into her house. I asked her why she thought that. She said that she kept hearing a rattling noise followed by a loud thud in the basement. I was anxious because that did not sound like something that would be normal. She lives in an area of town that has a high crime rate so I felt she had reason to worry. My partner & I got in the car & headed right over to see if my friend and I could figure out what was happening; She said she did not want to involve the police if it was nothing because then if there actually was a problem they would not come, but when my friend and I arrived my partner headed down into the basement armed with a baseball bat to see if there was an intruder & found nothing. Well he was down there he did hear the rattling noise & the thud & realized it was coming from the boiler. He went upstairs to ask my sister about how often she heard the noise & she said entirely about every 30 minutes or so & then he informed her about where the noise was coming from. He asked about the last time she had her system looked at, although she simply said she had never had anything done. He told her there was entirely something wrong with it & that she should call an Heating, Ventilation & A/C business immediately which she did the following morning. When they investigated they found that there was so much air in the lines that each time the system turned on it rattled through the pipes & that was what was causing the noises.
