She had radiant heated flooring in her home

My wife recently made an upgrade to her home without telling me.

Now normally if this was on anything else I would be pretty upset about it, because the two of us normally talk about everything before we have anything done.

However, this was something that we had been talking about for a while and I was totally on board with. So what was the upgrade that was done to our home? It was having radiant heated flooring installed into our home. The two of us live in a cold climate and it always is below freezing every single winter here. It is for this reason that we not only have more than one method to keep ourselves warm during the cold winter months, we have both a fireplace and a central heating system but we were also looking to go from just heating the air to also heating the floors. The way that we were going to heat the floors is by using a radiant heated flooring system. Radiant heated flooring is amazing technology that allows you to add me more to your floors by installing a heated element underneath the floorboards. The heated element is super thin too and you will hardly even though it’s there. We purchased the heating system a couple months ago and have been waiting for the right time to have it installed by the heating and AC professionals. So I knew about the heated floors the entire time but my wife decided to surprise me by going ahead and having it installed without telling me. It was a wonderful surprise and now we both have warm floors that we can share together.

I borrowed my girlfriends space heater

When I found out that my girlfriend got a new space here I was just trying to try it.

In fact I think that I was probably more excited about her space heater than she was! I had heard all about space heaters and I knew that they were a great way to keep your home warm during the winter if you wanted an alternative form of heating.

The great thing about a space heater is that it’s portable and that was something that I loved about space heating systems. Well I didn’t have a space heating system myself, I have been dying to give him a try. I hadn’t even mentioned that I wanted a space heater to my girlfriend. I guess we just share a common thought because I found out this weekend that she bought one when she told me that she had purchased the space heater because she thought that they were going to be a nice addition to her home. When she told me this I was practically bursting with excitement. I was just too eager to use a space heating system and now that she had one I could give it a try without having to buy one. I asked her if I could try out her space heater and she laughed and told me yes but let her at least get to try it first! The two of us decided that we would wait until it was a nice and cold day and just wouldn’t run the heating system and would test out the space heating system instead to see how it did. Well considering that the two of us live in a cold climate we didn’t have to wait very long until it was a nice and cold day. Only two days later the temperatures were easily in the 30s and we broke out the space heater. The two of us were both amazed when we saw how well the space heater did, it did as good as our Central heating system and it costs half as much! We will definitely be using it all the time.

A personal injury attorney helped me when I was hit by a car

Thankfully my mother was able to find a good personal injury attorney to help us sue the woman who hit me at her insurance company.

My mother was really protective of me when I went out on my bike as a child. She constantly told me that cars couldn’t see me and that if I wasn’t careful I would get hit one of these days. I wasn’t actually thinking about that at the time, and I don’t think I really believed her until it actually happened one day when I was 15 years old. It happened on my way home from school one afternoon. I was crossing a busy intersection and the light was red, allowing me the chance to go. But the second I got into the middle of the intersection, the light went from red to green. A car in front of me started to go and as I was trying to get out of their way they hit me and I hit the pavement. I lost several teeth and ended up having to get a lot of dental work done. It was also emotionally traumatizing for me. It was the beginning of me developing PTSD symptoms. Thankfully my mother was able to find a good personal injury attorney to help us sue the woman who hit me at her insurance company. Was it a lot of money, but the personal injury attorney helped us get what we needed for the work I need to get done on my mouth. It was really frustrating thinking but looking back on the situation but the personal injury attorney was really helpful. If not for my lawyer, I don’t know how I would have navigated the legal process. We really needed that personal injury lawyer to get us the settlement money to pay for the dental work.

Home security system adds convenience

I originally looked into a home security system because I wanted to lower my insurance premiums.

I live in an extremely safe neighborhood.

If a package is left on my doorstep, it can sit there all day with no one stealing it. Although I felt a security system was necessary, the reduced cost of insurance helped to recover the investment. Because modern systems are wireless, the installation didn’t cause any damage or disruption to my home. I like knowing that I can keep up with advancing updates without needing to replace a bunch of hardware. I’ve found that the security system is wonderfully convenient. I have access to all sorts of features through an app on my home. Now, when a package is delivered, I receive an alert. I can look at real-time video and know exactly who is standing on my porch. I can even converse with them, even if I’m not at home. I have the option of unlocking and locking the door at any time. When I’m headed home from work, I can turn on specific lights and open up the garage door. One of my favorite features is the surveillance cameras. I typically get videos of squirrels, raccoons, foxes, possums, turkeys and deer in the year. I like to watch them. The house definitely feels safer now that everything is locked up tight. There are glass breakage sensors, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors and moisture sensors. I even get notified if there is a power outage. Because of the conveniences of the security system, I am considering taking the next step and upgrading to a whole-home automation system.

Problems with AC caused by dirty ductwork

Last summer, I was very unhappy with the performance of my air conditioner.

The cooling system is relatively new.

I had it installed just three years ago and spent extra on a high-efficiency model. I’ve been diligent about changing air filters and having the cooling unit professionally serviced every spring. Despite all that, my energy bills were suddenly much higher than ever before. The air conditioner was running constantly yet struggling to handle expectations. The house felt slightly overheated and muggy and certain rooms were much worse than others. The temperature from one room to another varied significantly. I also noticed the cooling operation making some odd sounds, creating unpleasant odors and spreading dust into the breathing air. When I realized that I was suffering from more frequent headaches, I blamed the air conditioner and scheduled repair. The HVAC contractor inspected the system and found no issues. When he tested the ductwork, he discovered diminished capacity. The airflow was restricted by a buildup of contaminants. A thorough duct cleaning solved all of the issues with the air conditioner. The process only took a couple of hours and caused no mess or disruption. The results were immediate. Along with superior comfort and lower sound levels, the system did a far better job at dehumidifying. My house was suddenly much cleaner and more enjoyable. Because the AC doesn’t need to work as hard or run as often, it should be more reliable and last longer. I now understand the importance of the ductwork and plan to have the system inspected every couple of years.

HVAC in the doctor’s office

The last time I went to the doctor’s for a check up I was very amazed by their quality of heating and air conditioning that they had in there.

It was rather hot outside and the air conditioning was really wonderful! It was so great and relaxing that I nearly fell asleep in the doctor’s office while waiting to have my check up.

Once I was done with all that I was real curious as to their secret to such great heating and air conditioning. It turned out that it was all because they got one of the most high end and top of the line commercial heating and air conditioning systems. It turned out that it was also one of those rooftop heating and air conditioning system units. This would explain the real good air conditioning. Because I had heard that commercial rooftop air conditioning and heating systems are even much more better and powerful than the standard on the ground commercial heating and air conditioning systems. I wish that other places like my local doctor’s office would end up having this kind of quality heating and air conditioning. But I am pretty happy that at the very least my local doctor’s office has the quality commercial heating and air conditioning system in the form of a rooftop commercial heating and air conditioning system unit. It is a real amazing thing I have to be totally honest and tell you. I am very impressed!

Heating at the old mall

Today there are not too many malls left in the world because the internet made it this way

I can remember long ago when I was growing up that our local mall had the best central heating in the winter time months of the year. Back in these days having any kind of central heating and air conditioning was very rare. But in places like malls and commercial buildings there were huge commercial heating and air conditioning system units to provide the heating as well as the air conditioning. And our local mall had the best heating in the winter time months of the year for some reason. In the summer time months of the year they had good air conditioning but it was not as good as the heating was in the winter time months of the year. It made shopping around the holiday season a very good thing and very enjoyable when it was real cold outside with ice and snow on the ground. I really actually miss those days of the great old school commercial heating and air conditioning in malls. Today there are not too many malls left in the world because the internet made it this way. But I will always remember the days long ago that did have malls and the quality heating and air conditioning that always seemed to be in the malls near me! It is a time that will be cherished forever no matter what. Today in the new malls that still exist, the heating and air conditioning just does not seem the same for some reason with the modern commercial heating and air conditioning systems that are much more compact.

Needing a whole-house whole-house air purifier

What mom wants, she gets. Dad does put on a fantastic fight, but he constantly gives in. It has always been this way. It’s the funniest thing to watch. At times I think dad just likes saying no so he can watch mom light up about some random thing. She is constantly going into long speeches about why she needs a new gadget at home, or a new car. They do share their income. He makes fantastic money, but mom gets everything she needs. This time, the argument was about the most random thing I had ever heard. I came downstairs and found them in the kitchen. Mom was in the middle of a speech about a whole-house whole-house air purifier. To be honest, our indoor air quality hasn’t been the best, so mom was right about needing the purification unit. However, dad said they were better off with a portable media whole-house air purifier. They’d have it set up in the living room, and it didn’t cost an arm and a leg. Hearing that made me think this wasn’t the first time mom was talking about the whole-house whole-house air purifier. Having done his research, dad knew it cost a lot of money, so he suggested a portable unit. This time, I watched mom stop in the middle of her rant, look at dad, and said she was getting the whole-house air purifier whether he was in or out.

Diagnosing the air conditioning before leaving for the trip

Martha and her partner were looking forward to visiting her parents.

It had been almost two years since they had gone to visit the family.

Martha likes her in-laws, so she was even more enthusiastic for the trip than her partner. They both work and have busy lives, so they make sure to make the most of such breaks. They knew the family and some friends would be attending their dad’s birthday. So, this was the best time to get back in touch and have loads of fun. The flights were booked, and the visit was a complete surprise. So, they planned to get a cab from the airport to the house since they didn’t want anyone who knew them to come and choose them. Some of the tasks to be done at home before the trip included an AC inspection to ensure it was in the best working condition. Summers down south are brutally hot, so having an AC is a must. Martha and her partner didn’t want to return to a house with no air conditioner. So, they booked for a specialist to come and do AC service in their home. They also planned to get HVAC duct cleaning since it had been almost two years since the last one. It was almost 9 am when the van pulled into their driveway, on time. Martha and her partner were happy with the specialists. Since they also wanted HVAC duct cleaning, they came as a crew to get the work done faster.

Avery wanted a HEPA filter in her HVAC system

It was the best way to ensure the heating and cooling component has a longer lifespan.

Avery was planning to go visit his parents this coming summer. However, there was still work to be done before departure day. It’s been almost a year since the last time Avery was home to see her mom, Mom and younger sibling. They do talk on the phone every day, but it’s not the same as being there. So, he made sure to take time off to be there for his dad’s 62nd anniversary. The plan was to fly home, and have a friend pick her up instead of her younger sibling. This was going to be a surprise. A family member wouldn’t manage to keep such a secret. But, as he mentioned, she’d have to finish labor at the office before it was time to leave. Avery also wanted to handle a few matters at home including servicing her air conditioning. The last time Avery had someone inspect the HVAC was the previous spring. This is a routine she’s become accustomed to since he first bought his home. The worker who came to install a new system insisted on regular maintenance. It was the best way to ensure the heating and cooling component has a longer lifespan. This time, Avery wanted the HVAC worker to also add a HEPA filter to his cooling unit. She’d learn up on HEPA filters and knew this would be excellent for his indoor air quality. The Heating plus A/C worker was tied up to come and do service which includes replacing the outdated air filter.
