I’m Glad I Got The Warranty For My New Heating plus A/C System

Two years ago, I was told that it was time to upgrade my Heating plus A/C system… It was over 10 years outdated plus it wasn’t running efficiently anymore.

  • I was paying a fortune in repairs every month, and for several weeks, I contemplated getting the warranty for my new Heating plus A/C system.

I’d never experienced any extreme complications with my Heating plus A/C systems within a two year phase in the past, so I wasn’t sure I’d even need the warranty. I didn’t like paying for things that I wouldn’t use, even if it was just a precautionary thing. I especially didn’t have much currency to spend money for a warranty at the time either. For some reason, I agreed to spend money the extra currency plus get the warranty for my new Heating plus A/C system. I know the universe was looking out for me that day, because not even 1 year later, my Heating plus A/C system was giving me a lot of complications. I contacted an Heating plus A/C professional several times to repair my Heating plus A/C system. Nobody knew what was causing all the complications, but it seemed like I purchased a faulty Heating plus A/C system! When the Heating plus A/C professional told me that my Heating plus A/C system was better off being upgraded rather than repairing it, I knew I’d made the right decision. I’m so thankful that I purchased that warranty, because I wouldn’t have been able to afford a new Heating plus A/C system again, however the first Heating plus A/C system took a hit on my savings account, there’s no way I would’ve been able to afford another one.

Parking lot full of cars

This week, there has been a lot going on in the parking lot of my office.

The home supervisor is replacing a few a/c units in the building and has had numerous maintenance trucks taking up a lot of space in our parking lot.

Many of our patients have complained about the a/c maintenance trucks. I was aware that this construction would be taking locale throughout the week, although I did not know that our patients would not have a locale to park, and when more of our patients started to complain, I decided it was time to contact Randy, however randy is the person who handles all of the maintenance in my office building. He comes in once a week to chat and make sure our control component is in laboring order. Randy and I often talk about the weather and how the other offices seem to typically have complications. There was one instance where Randy had to call an Heating, Ventilation, and A/C worker to come out to my office and substitute the filters in the offices. Other than that, my pal and I have not had any complications. When I explained to Randy that people were complaining about the a/c maintenance trucks in the parking lot, he solved the issue promptly. Randy was able to transfer all of the air conditioning maintenance trucks to the back parking lot so that the patients were able to park out front for their appointments. The a/c supplier worked hastily to get the component substituted in the neighboring office and Randy did a lovely task facilitating the repairs.

A state of the art air conditioning system in a multi-million dollar housing complex

My dad is a contractor builder for a very large and well-known company. They build a lot of housing developments and apartment complexes in some of the major cities in the northeast. He gets to travel a lot and visit a lot of places that he’s never been to. The only thing that he doesn’t like about his job is being away from his family. However he does get to see us on this weekends if he gets them off. One thing he really does find interesting about what he does is the houses that they build. The houses are state of the art and very energy efficient! Most of the houses are multi-million dollar homes where the homeowners either work on wall street or own corporations. Not to mention the technology that my dad installs in their homes are quite remarkable. When it comes to the homeowner’s heating and cooling it is very expensive but the cost savings is a lot! One state of the art air conditioning systems is a system that is for hot and dry climates and it’s energy saving savvy. It is basically a large fan and an indirect water heater integrated under one whole system. In the summer the system will only kick on if needed. When it is the winter time, a water-to-air heat exchanger that extends from the water heater will produce warm air to the HVAC system. This is one of the many state of the art air conditioning systems that my dad installs in some of these homes.

My dad the HVAC man-who has great customer service and many clients

My family and I everyday have to drive by this housing development that has the largest homes in the entire state.

  • It’s cool that it is built in our town and we get to see it but I can’t even imagine how much their mortgage is and their taxes! My family and I are content with our cape style home.

My dad works for the local HVAC company in our town and he works on a lot of the houses in that development. He said architecturally the houses are flawless but sometimes their HVAC systems that are originally installed in the homes are not so flawless. The HVAC systems in the homes are not of high quality and within a matter of a year of living in the homes, the homeowners will call my dad to replace their HVAC systems with a more advanced system. My dad makes great sales at this development and highly values his customers. He is one of the leading HVAC technician’s in that area due to his friendly customer service and work ethic. A lot of his coworkers look up to him because he knows so much about HVAC systems. He currently holds about twenty houses that he services. A lot of his coworkers are annoyed that he has that many clients but the HVAC CEO of the company stresses that they can get that many customers if they continue reliable work and outstanding customer service. My dad always says that the knowledge of HVAC and repair comes with time and is learned, however customer service starts with your attitude and that cannot be learned.

Wanting to buy a used HVAC system

My brother is definitely a bargain shopper.

  • He absolutely loves to go and find the best deals possible.

He just got a hardly used four wheeler for a few hundred dollars. I always tell him to try to find me a good deal for things I can use within my home. I was on the phone with him last night and he told me that just recently he had some serious problems with his HVAC system. He went back-and-forth conversing with his local HVAC provider to see the kind of solutions that would be best for his home. His HVAC provider gave him a list of HVAC systems that would be best for his home. His HVAC provider sized and measured the correct HVAC system just in case he wanted to look for cheaper HVAC systems. My brother had a financial problem with the HVAC systems that his HVAC company suggested him in buying. All of the HVAC systems were extremely expensive and were way over his budget. My brother decided to go online and try to see if he could get a good deal on an HVAC system. A few days after he talked to his HVAC technician, he found a decent priced system that was the same size as his original HVAC system. The only problem was that it wasn’t new. He called his HVAC technician to see if using a used HVAC system would be alright. His HVAC technician told him that it was probably not the best option and that he should go with replacing a brand-new HVAC system instead.

Getting used to the heating and cooling in my car and the weather conditions outside

I am still learning how to adjust the heating and cooling system in my car so I am safe while driving

I can remember the first time that I was a licensed driver. It was extremely scary at first because I had zero experience and I was on the road with a lot of drivers. These drivers have been driving for many years, where I was new to the road. Most of the time my dad taught me how to drive. We would start at some local backroads and then the highway. While I continued to learn I realized how good my heating and cooling system in my car is. Since my car is brand-new I can change the heating and cooling and adjust the temperatures from the front of my car and the back of my car. My dad likes to call this kind of heating and cooling similar to the zone control that is installed in our home. When I first started driving I had trouble adjusting the heating and cooling to the appropriate temperatures that were outside. When it would be really hot and muggy out and the air in my car is somewhat cool, I would get a lot of dew in the inside of the windshield. This would make it difficult to see and I would have to use my windshield wipers a lot. To fix the problem I would put on my air conditioning to get rid of the dew. I am still learning how to adjust the heating and cooling system in my car so I am safe while driving. Plus I want to keep up with the maintenance of my car so not only will it last long but my heating and cooling system will work great.

New a/c at the office

I knew this would take a long time to repair plus it was getting hotter plus hotter everyday

My corporation recently bought a new HVAC system for the entire office building. My associate and I were having some troubles with our previous HVAC system. Most of the time, the a/c did not work officially in the office, but a lot of our clients complained plus left due to the uncomfortable temperature in our building. The building is genuinely old plus we knew that the AC would need to be upgraded sooner than later. In the middle of the summer, the a/c stopped turning on. The office became boiling hastily plus I knew we had to act fast. As the office supervisor, I took it into my own hands to contact a local HVAC corporation to come out plus rectify this as hastily as possible. When the HVAC worker arrived, he explained that the problem was beyond repair plus he recommended that we have the entire system upgraded. I was not looking forward to this PC call with my boss, and she does not work in the same building as I do, however she is aware of the troubles we have with the HVAC system in this building, then for everyone, it would be proper sense to send the staff apartment until the problem was fixed, however she insisted that most people stay in the office plus wait for the a/c to be repaired. I knew this would take a long time to repair plus it was getting hotter plus hotter everyday. She did not seem to care that we would be laying in the heat plus toiling with miserable clients. The HVAC corporation did the upgradement hastily.

Started to snow one morning so having to switch from air conditioning to heater

I have absolutely loved this winter weather.

There have been mostly only a week where we have experienced snow.

Not to mention that my husband has only taken out his snowblower once this winter. It’s been great because when it has snows he doesn’t have to wake up super early to clear the snow because there hasn’t been any! This past week it’s been in the mid sixties and I couldn’t be happier. I am definitely the type of person who needs warm weather and sun to be happy. Sometimes I feel like I go in a seasonal depression mode when I don’t feel the sun’s warmth. But this week was great because I was able to sit outside on the deck, read a book and just relax. However just this morning I had to shut all of the fans off and the air conditioning off at night and switch it to the heater. According to the weatherman we were supposed to receive two inches of snow and it the temperature was going to drop down to 27 degrees. I was very disappointed when I heard this. I thought that it was going to be the last time I was going to have to use my furnace for the year. Plus it would save on my fuel bill as well. Since I have been going back and forth between my air conditioner and my heater recently, I think I am going to have to contact my HVAC technician to inspect my system to make sure it’s working ok.

Having to turn on heater in the banquet room

This past week has been extremely busy.

For three days a week I have to go into my second part time job to make some extra money.

What I do at this second part time job is help out with banquets by serving food and alcohol. It’s not a bad job because I make a decent amount of tips. I like to put my tips aside and at the end of the month I’ll take all of my tips and put them in my savings account. My coworker and I were setting up tables in the larger banquet room for a band that was playing the next day. We swept and mopped the floors, put the chairs down and put tablecloths on the tables. While we were in there preparing for the next day I realized that the room was very cold. I walked over to the thermostat and it read 65 degrees. I also saw that the switch was turned to off and not on to heat. The owner must have switched the thermostat off since no one was using the room that day. I knew that I would forget so I made sure to jot down a note and leave it on one of the tables for the next day. I wrote down a small reminder to turn on the thermostat so the furnace would kick on. I didn’t want the event going on the next day to be cold and have someone complain just because the furnace wasn’t on.

I Was The Guest Career Speaker For My Daughter’s Class

Last week, I was the guest speaker for my daughter’s class.

  • Her educator sent home a letter to all the parents, asking for volunteers to speak about their jobs.

I didn’t know anything of it until my wifey recommended that I go. I’ve been an Heating and Air Conditioning worker for over 20 years, however I didn’t know the kids in her class would want to know anything about heating and air. When I expressed this to my wifey, she helped me see a weird side, however my wifey thought it would be a superb learning opportunity, because kids didn’t learn about heating and air on a normal basis. They could experience a tepid or frigid room, however not have any idea why the air around them felt a certain way! Once she explained this to me, I decided that it would be fun! I put a lot of time into my presentation, because I needed to “dumb down” my message into easyr terms for children. My daughter’s face lit up when she saw me walk into her classroom in my Heating and Air Conditioning uniform. I spent time explaining how the air in their classroom was 70 degrees, because that’s what their educator set their thermostat to. The thermostat on the wall is what decided how tepid or frigid their room felt. Then, I explained how a boiler produced hot air and the A/C unit produced cool air. The kids were enamored by my Heating and Air Conditioning job, and they had a lot of questions about tepid and frigid air.
