A little knowledge goes a long way in improving your life if you know where to look and what to do with the information.
I am not much of a reader but I am a keen listener to what people say or talk about.
And this one time, I just happened to be at the right place at the right time. Mark, who is my neighbor, was out for a walk and my buddy and I crossed paths. However, I did not say hi because he was on the iphone but I managed to overhear his conversation. It sounded like he was talking to an Heating, Ventilation, and A/C professional about his utility bill. Based on the complaint, I thought he was addressing the wrong guy but I realized the conversation was about his cooling system and how much it has been overworking to give great air quality. When I caught up with him later, he opened up about his air conditioning system repair. A while back, Mark had replaced his cooling system to include an all inclusive Heating, Ventilation, and A/C unit. He had the HVAC duct done by an Heating, Ventilation, and A/C business different from the one that installed his air conditioning system filter and other small fittings. Although the HVAC duct was fitted well it turned out that he got the inofficial device for his apartment square footage. Based on his zone area, he needed a 2.5 ton instead of a 1.5 ton. Obviously it did not help with indoor comfort as he had hoped. The result was frequent apartment services and unusually high Heating, Ventilation, and A/C maintenance cost. This is until the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C professional came to his rescue and helped him out with the oversight. That conversation got me thinking and I ended up checking mine just to be sure.
