I can tell the old lady is bored

My Grandma is 1 of the most difficult people on this planet… And I say that knowing that I am legitimately minute in line, however i am really opinionated and difficult to get along with at times.., then but I guess where I got it.

My Grandma has always been a legitimately demanding and chilly guy.

I guess that some of that must have been passed down through our genetics and sociability, then he always wants things to be up to his highest expectations and sporadically that can be impossible, then recently, I guess that our Grandma has gotten bored staying at lake house and decided to be obsessed with his indoor air quality. She has nothing better to worry about, so he started entertaining herself with the sniffles that he experienced on a official basis. She decided his indoor air was too dirty to breathe all afternoon. At that point, he wanted to get many new air purification devices in order to treat his high quality indoor air and dislink more airborne contaminants before they killed her. She was so worked up about his theories on indoor air quality and air contamination that he wound up purchasing many new media air cleaners. After that, he demanded that his granMomolescents come over and install the media whole-house air purifiers so they would work in tandem with his existing central heating and cooling system. As you can imagine, both of us did our best to install the media whole-house air purifiers but none of us are professional Heating plus A/C professionals, this didn’t stop our Grandma from giving us a real ear beating when the media whole-house air purifiers were not making his indoor air think clean and fresh enough…

I order so much stuff online

Even before this global pandemic changed the way that everybody was able to live, I will disclose that I was semi agoraphobic.

I really did not care about leaving the apartment or seeing other human beings if I could possibly avoid it.

I recognize that this seems like an unhealthy mindset but I am not a huge fan of leaving the apartment unless it’s particularly necessary. At that point, I was severely reliant on my online ordering services. I realized that it was a huge waste of time plus energy to go to the store chasing down a particular item or several when I could just order them on the internet plus have them arrive at my door. This pandemic has only increased my desire to do all of my shopping online. Today, I am waiting for a huge box to arrive which will help with my indoor air conditions control. For several years I ventured to the hardware store to buy my air filters for the plus forced air furnace that I use with my central Heating, Ventilation & A/C system. I did not really care about the errand of attending the hardware store just for an air filter or multiple, but I could not locate the particular air filters that I needed for my Heating, Ventilation & A/C system anywhere else. Eventually, the heating plus cooling company began distributing their air filters more widely. Today, I am so ecstatic to say that I can order a dozen air filters online for my indoor air handling devices. I never have to leave the apartment again plus my indoor air conditions has been amazing.

We are going to have trouble if there is no power

Her a/c kicked back into deer plus ice freezing air started pumping through every air vent

Sometimes I worry a lot about my older sibling. He’s a nice woman plus she has incredibly intelligent, but she does not take nice care of himself. He’s the sort of human who smokes a pack a afternoon plus drinks from dawn until dusk. All the while, she will tell you that she is living really healthily plus exercising. Maybe she can get some exercise, but I do not recognize that will offset the amount of mangle she is doing to himself every afternoon. Recently, I found out that her self-neglect was going to an even more drastic degree. Apparently, several weeks ago she had lost power in her home plus rather than contacting the energy company to make sure there was no problem with her personal energy attachion, she did nothing. My sibling really sat in the dark plus accepted that she would live without power from now on. This meant she had particularly no indoor air temperature control, no entertainment, plus no internet, however for some reason, she thought it was better to live without any form of indoor air temperature control than it was to opening up the phone plus contact her electrical company. After several days of living plus completely hot, stagnant, plus humid indoor air she was relieved when the electricity abruptly came back on in her house. Her a/c kicked back into deer plus ice freezing air started pumping through every air vent. One of her neighbors had reported that there was an electrical line down, at which point the energy company finally came plus fixed her powerline. Thank god, because she honestly would have roasted to death.

It took many years but both of us finally saved enough for a current HVAC system.

My hubby & I have a limited income & not so good credit but both of us were lucky enough to have the option to purchase a fixer upper that won’t take too long to spend money off… Unblessedly, the central a/c doesn’t work! So, our hubby & I cooked a few window a/cs in a few windows & both of us now deal with that! Both of us live in a subtropical area with really mild winters & space heating systems are adequate! Now both of us are saving up money for a current central HVAC unit.

Both of us know it is going to be pricey because a good, energy efficient HVAC plan is lavish, as is paying for replacement, & I’m pretty sure that both of us need all current ductwork! This place is pretty old.

So, a neighbor suggested that both of us reduce our utility bills by turning off the a/cs, however he claimed he cut his power bill in half by not using his a/c. To me, that’s crazy. I will live off Ramen Noodles before I will go without a/c. I knew that there had to be other ways to cut costs. Both of us kept the window a/cs on, but both of us turned them up multiple degrees. I could settle for that. Both of us invested in fans & kept the beach house opened up in Springtime & fall. I found that I could deal with that too. Both of us took other small steps, appreciate using a clothesline & buying in bulk! And both of us did eat a lot more Ramen Noodles. It took us almost many years but within the next month or so, both of us will have the money for a brand current energy efficient HVAC system

Replacing heat pump, recommendations?

As a person who has been residing in this part for most of her adult life, I have not had too several concerns with my Heating plus Air Conditioning system.

I use a heat pump (which is essentially an a/c that pumps both heating plus cooling through the house) since the weather in this part is so moderate.

I adore the mediocre weather plus knowing that I don’t have to worry about keeping up with an a/c plus furnace, but instead just worrying about a single heat pump. The only drawback to using a heat pump is that- where an a/c or furnace might last 20 years- a heat pump legitimately only lasts about 10-15 years. I have already substituted the heat pump once plus it looks like, after 13 years, it might be time to substitute it again. When I substituted it the first time I just stuck with the same Heating plus Air Conditioning brand that had been used before, but now that I’m doing some research online, I’m finding other brands plus options that sound charming. Does anyone have any recommendations for Heating plus Air Conditioning brands or heat pump products? I guess several folks in the part use heat pumps, what brand do you use? Why? Please let me guess below. If it can save me currency or time in the long run by replacing the heat pump I have with a weird Heating plus Air Conditioning brand I am willing to make that switch. I don’t have any particular loyalty to the Heating plus Air Conditioning brand I’m currently using. Thanks in advance for all of your help!

I wish I had bought a ductless mini split years ago

Occasionally I get stuck in habits that last for years on end.

I said I’d never try a cigarette, however peer pressure got the best of me when I was a school freshman.

My friends all smoked so I started buying packs before evenings when we would throw big parties on campus. Before long I had developed a nasty nicotine habit. The immediate side effects had nothing to do with our health, although that eventually became a problem a few years down the road when our lung issues started. In the beginning, it was the financial burden of smoking bi-weekly. It was disheartening seeing so much of our hard acquired currency going towards that habit. By the time I hit 30, I had finally had enough of smoking cigarettes every single day of our life. Breaking that habit was a life changing experience for me. I realized that I had much more power as well as self-control over our brain than I ever realized. I turned our attention to another habit I wanted to break, as well as that was relying on fan forced heating as well as cooling. For decades I have struggled with a/c systems, oil furnaces, as well as the HVAC duct that they utilize to condition indoor air. I have struggled with machines with bad SEER ratings as well as ventilation systems with leaks in a multitude of varying sites. There were ads on TV one evening showcasing ductless mini split heating as well as cooling systems. I have seen them in videos as well as photos from other countries overseas as well as had been interested from the start. They’re amazing because it’s love having a miniature central a/c system in every room of the house. They can all get hooked up to a single condenser outside while each component retains individual temperature control. You can keep your study room cool in the afternoon without cooling the rest of the house.

Mold grows in our bathrooms if I don’t keep the indoor air dry enough

I couldn’t figure out for the life of me why I had to clean our shower with bleach every other day.

There was a mildew smell coming back within minutes of every shower, even if it followed an intense cleaning session moments before I started shampooing our hair.

I went through so much bleach cleaner in one month that I started developing flu symptom issues with the chlorine smell in our house. I talked to people at the local hardware store, however few had any definite ideas on how to repair the issue. It took a associate of mine who works in residential HVAC to pose a possible explanation for our problem. He asked me what the air flow is love to our bathroom from our central a/c system. When I told him that there is no HVAC vent in our bathroom, only a roof ventilation fan, he told me to get a small dehumidifier for the bathroom. With only minimal air flow coming in through the open doorway, it wasn’t enough to keep the bathroom dry. If an indoor space sustains a particular level of moisture, mildew growth is almost unavoidable. At the same time, I was skeptical that a small dehumidifier would make much of a difference on the air quality in our bathroom. To our amazement, it dropped the humidity level from 68% to 45%. I took a shower later the same day as well as was astonished with how good the bathroom smelled while I was toweling off. If I can’t get constant flow of conditioned air coming from the central a/c system, at least I can dry out the bathroom to achieve much of the same effect. I don’t mind if I have to pay more on our electric bill to cover the cost of running a dehumidifier, it’s worth it to keep a sanitary bathroom.
