Electric fireplaces are really best

When talking about or looking for good fireplaces, I have to say that electric fireplaces are really the best.

The reason my opinion is this way is because with electric fireplaces you can get the same essence that you do from a real authentic fireplace without having to pay several thousands of dollars to get it.

An electric fireplace that is super high end and really good will run you just a little over a thousand bucks. If you were to get a real authentic fireplace you would be talking installation and construction both. And that would run you several thousand on its own. Then there would be the actual purchase of the fireplace itself. No way! Unless you are rich, that would take a massive bank loan. You can easily just get an electric fireplace for next to nothing in comparing and get the same great essence and ambience in your home that you would with the real authentic fireplace. This is what i did and ended up being very happy with the result of it all. I seriously love my electric fireplace and would not trade it in for anything else in the whole wide world! My electric fireplace is great for the holiday season as well as great for just general winter time months of the year. It acts as a large space heater for the living room and can help reduce the energy use of using the central heating and air conditioning system’s heater as well. This is the best way all around in my book.

The fireplace in the lobby

I was recently staying at this very high class hotel while away on business.

The company in which I work for had paid for everything as I would never be able to personally afford the hotel of this type! But anyhow, the one thing that was really impressive about this hotel is the fact that they had this real great and upscale fireplace in the lobby area! I had never seen a hotel before that had a fireplace in the lobby like this.

I would actually enjoy going down to the lobby and relaxing right by this huge fireplace they had. It was rather cold while I was away, so this helped me feel great and warmed up from the heating coming from this massive fireplace that was in the hotel lobby where I was staying while I was on a business trip recently. Words can not describe this fireplace. It was unlike anything I had ever seen before in my whole full entire lifetime! The fireplace looked as if it was a real authentic fireplace because there was actual fire. It was for sure not a gas or electric fake fireplace. That is for certain. I guess these type of fireplaces could be considered industrial or commercial fireplaces like a commercial heating and air conditioning system unit possibly? I really have no clue or idea in the whole wide world about what type or kind of fireplace this thing was, but all I know is it was the most awesome fireplace I ever had experienced and I wish I could have something like this one in my home! That is how wonderful and unique it was.

My portable air conditioner did not work

Because this new portable air conditioning system is much more powerful than the older one I had that just had broken down on me

My portable air conditioning system all of a sudden stopped fully working. I do not know why or how this could have happened because I have not used it too much. Also the fact that it was working fine just the other day when I used it makes absolutely no sense to me. I had thought about taking it somewhere to have it repaired. But really at the end of the day with the portable air conditioning system it would not be worth the cost of the repairs. For just a few bucks more I can go ahead and just buy a brand new portable air conditioning system just the same. So this is what I did exactly. I ended up going to the store where they had them on sale for a little less than half off the regular listed price. And I bought a brand new and up to date portable air conditioning system unit. The new portable air conditioning system that I bought actually works better than original portable air conditioner I had that just broke on me. So I guess maybe this was an omen and for the best that the old portable air conditioning system broke down on me out of nowhere. Because this new portable air conditioning system is much more powerful than the older one I had that just had broken down on me. And in turn, this new portable air conditioning system is and has given me much better indoor comfort in my bedroom. I like it a lot.

My portable space heater didn’t work anymore

I pulled out my portable space heater the other day as my bedroom was a little chilly even with the central heating and air conditioning system’s heater running.

And my portable space heater did not work anymore.

I am not sure what had happened as I have not used it in a few months, and when I did use it before everything was great and fine with it. I did not even understand it one bit. But because I did still want a portable space heater I decided to just go out to the store and buy a new portable space heater. They had them on sale for cheaper than they usually are, so I guess I made out ok. The new portable space heater that I bought was the same as the old one that had just broken down. So I was good with all. However it still boggles the mind on what possibly could have happened to make the original portable space heater not work anymore when I did not even use it or anything like that. It just sat in the closet for months untouched, so I really can not see what could have possibly happened to the portable space heater. But it is all good and fine now because I picked up a brand new and up to date portable space heater of the same exact kind for a little cheaper than what I paid for the original portable space heater that does not work any longer. I hope this portable space heater that I bought will last me for a while without not working anymore.

Repairing the ductwork

The ductwork of my central heating and air conditioning system had some major issues.

This was something I had never dealt with before. So I had to call the local heating and air conditioning company to have them send out a certified heating and air conditioning specialist to look at the ductwork. As it turned out, the ductwork needed some redoing as it had gone weak from it being so old. This was going to cost me a few bucks but I really did not have any choice in the matter. So I had the heating and air conditioning specialist get his tools and do the work that needed to be done to repair the ductwork. It took almost all afternoon it was that detailed. And the fact that he was by himself made it take this long as well. But when all was said and done the ductwork of my central heating and air conditioning system was repaired and all was good again. But the bill from the local heating and air conditioning company was not pretty what so ever. But again, I had to do this and really had no choice in the matter if I wanted to have indoor comfort once again and have the air flow of my central heating and air conditioning system working good again. At least though now that I had the ductwork of my central heating and air conditioning system repaired I could now rest easy and not have to worry about anything else with the ductwork for a long time other than the ductwork cleaning.

Getting new ductwork

I am currently having all new ductwork installed in my home.

The old ductwork for my central heating and air conditioning system had seen its day.

So as part of the home renovation project I have been doing I decided to hire the local heating and air conditioning company to completely redo all the ductwork in my home. This is a very expensive job but it is something that very much needed to be done so now I am doing it. Getting the new ductwork installed is something that I have been putting off for a very long while. And now that I am finally getting it done is going to improve a lot of things when it comes to my central heating and air conditioning system. The first and foremost thing is going to be the air flow. With the brand new ductwork being installed and the old ductwork being removed it is going to be much better air flow coming from the central heating and air conditioning system. Then on top of that, the other thing that is going to improve is the overall air quality. Because this new ductwork will be clean as ever, I will have fresh air flow coming through. Also I will not have to think about getting my ductwork cleaned for a long while as well. At least 6 to 8 months before I will even need to consider calling back the local heating and air conditioning company for a ductwork cleaning. This in itself will be really great!

I missed my ductwork cleaning

Sometimes I can be quite forgetful.

  • And this was the case when I forgot to schedule my seasonal ductwork cleaning for my central heating and air conditioning system unit.

I always have the ductwork of my central heating and air conditioning system cleaned at the beginning of every single last season of the year in order to ensure that my central heating and air conditioning system is running well. This way I do not have any break downs during the most extreme weather. I also have my central heating and air conditioning system tuned up and checked up as well. I remembered to do the usual heating and air conditioning system tune up and check up but I did not remember to get the ductwork cleaning scheduled! I remembered well after the fact about 3 months late. However, because I needed to get it done I still went fourth with it. I guess I was lucky that my ductwork ended up by sheer luck not needing a deep ductwork cleaning. And that there were no major issues with the air flow, the air quality or my central heating and air conditioning system in general. In the future I am going to start making myself notes to have my ductwork cleaned at the specific times needed as well as make notes about the heating and air conditioning system tune up and check up. This will ensure that I get everything done on time in the future moving forward with all these types of things.

Looking for a new way to heat my home

There are so many different ways to heat your home these days.

  • And I am currently looking for something different than your standard central heating.

Central heating and air conditioning systems in general can cost a lot of money to run if you have extreme freezing weather in the winter time months of the year. So I am looking to make an investment into something that will end up saving me a lot of money on energy use in the long term. So what I have decided on was to invest into radiant heated floors! The cost of the radiant heated floors as well as the price of the installation of the radiant heated floors are going to be super expensive. However, after a few years of using these radiant heated floors that I am going to buy, all that money I invest will end up coming back to me in all the savings I will be having on the energy use alone! So I am going to make that investment into the radiant heated floors based on that fact all by itself. I am going to get a loan from my bank to be able to afford the radiant heated floors as well as the installation of the radiant heated floors. It is not going to be an easy task because of the amount of money we are talking. But I am sure I can get the loan to get this done once and for all. I still have some months before the cold winter season arrives so I have time.

When your HVAC unit goes out at an odd hour

There are times when central heating and air conditioning systems go out at the wrong times.

Especially when they go out at an odd late night hour where there is no heating and air conditioning home services available.

It can be quite a hassle having to gather up a bag and go to a hotel just to escape the lack of heating and air conditioning during extreme weather. This is why as the independent heating and cooling worker that I am I ended up starting up an additional service for emergency heating and cooling repair that is available twenty four hours a day and seven days a week for a higher price. I do not get tons of these emergency heating and air conditioning calls at odd hours when I am sleeping, but I have a few times here and there. And I do not mind losing some sleep and making real good money all while helping those in desperate need. It’s a win/win situation all together. Not many places in the country have emergency heating and air conditioning home services twenty four hours a day and seven days a week. So by me offering this as one of my services as an independent heating and air conditioning specialist it really helps my business grow a lot more. I am glad though that the odd hour calls do not happen too often. Otherwise I may not be able to keep up with it because I do need to sleep!

SEER ratings should be looked at

One thing that you should always look at when it comes to buying a new central heating and air conditioning system is the SEER rating. SEER ratings are so often overlooked all together. And this is a shame because many people end up buying central heating and air conditioning systems without looking at the SEER ratings and this causes them to have very high energy bills! If they looked at the SEER rating they would find out if the central heating and air conditioning system is very energy efficient or not. Basically it is easy to know. If the SEER rating is high, that means that you will have a very energy efficient central heating and air conditioning system unit. If the SEER rating is low or lower, you are going to end up with skyrocketed monthly electric bills from running your central heating and air conditioning system unit. So this is why it is important that SEER ratings should be looked at all together. I always look at the SEER rating when I am buying a brand new and totally up to date central heating and air conditioning system unit. If I did not, I would have some real bad electric bills which I do not want. So by looking at the SEER rating when buying a brand new and up to date central heating and air conditioning system unit I can easily avoid all these high energy bill issues that could potentially happen with heating and air conditioning system units all around the country.
