Date came over, but abandoned me for HVAC

Sometimes I wonder about the people that I’m attracted to.

At first, they seem like they’re really interested in me but it’s only a matter of time before their attention slips.

Suddenly, I can’t seem to get ahold of them or get a response no matter what I do. I’m used to this happening in my romantic relationships after a few months… But I’ve never had somebody lose interest on our first date. This is exactly what happened the other day when I invited a Tinder match over to my house. The guy seemed like a real catch. He was handy and mechanically minded, because he was a certified heating and cooling technician for a major air quality control dealership. He was very personable from all of his experience interacting with HVAC clients during emergency heating and cooling repair services. In general, I thought that he was a good guy and an interesting dinner guest. Unfortunately, I must not have been as intriguing. But my heating and cooling system was. Within 20 minutes of arriving at my home, my heating and cooling expert disappeared into the basement. He told me that he wanted to check out a strange sound that he was hearing emanating from the air ducts. After he went down there and started looking at the HVAC system, I couldn’t get him to come back up. I went down to see if he was okay and found that he was taking my entire forced air furnace apart. He spent the rest of the evening in my dank basement, diagnosing my furnace and ductwork while I called down from the top of the stairs. I ate dinner alone and deleted his number before he even came back to the main floor.

I miss my work, for one reason

I know a lot of people who are extremely upset about the idea of going back into public. I understand that folks are unhappy about going back to their daily commutes and obligatory appearances at social events. I feel some of that too. I’m also not excited about the potential of being infected with coronavirus after effectively dodging the threat for so many months. Frankly, it makes our quarantine effort completely worthless if we go back too early. I will say, there’s one reason that I’m a little excited to return to the office. That’s the indoor air quality. I was working in a massive, modern office building downtown with the best commercial HVAC equipment and technicians I’ve ever known. Every time we had some kind of indoor air quality problem, it was like our HVAC experts could detect the fluctuation in indoor air quality before we could. They would appear at the office with all of their HVAC repair tools in hand and the commercial air quality devices would be finely tuned before we even noticed the uneven hot and cold temperatures. The air conditioning system was amazingly powerful and did a fantastic job filtering out all of the human smells in the air. The enormous boiler system provided completely even and energy efficient heat to the office, even when you were near a drafty window. I was always cool, calm, and comfortable when I was working in that fantastic HVAC system. Since I’ve been at home, I haven’t had the same experience with air temperature control. My work has been distracted and I have been uncomfortable. I’m ready to go back to my favorite HVAC system on earth… Whether or not anybody else reports back.

The smell of pizza ruins my diet

You really have to be careful who you are around if you’re trying to make changes in your life.

The people that you associate with will greatly determine how you behave in the world.

Even if you are trying to make changes in your life, your personal influences can stunt all of your growth if you aren’t cautious. I’ve been finding this out the hard way as I’ve attempted to start a strict diet to improve my health and my life, overall. I started noticing that I was gaining weight a couple of years ago. I didn’t get serious about making changes until the day I received a very high energy bill. That’s when I realized, I was setting my thermostat so low everyday and abusing my central cooling system because my body was overheated due to excessive insulation. I needed to reduce the amount of fat that was holding in my heat so I could naturally cool down instead of demanding that the air conditioning system work day in and day out. Well, it hasn’t been very easy to maintain my strict diet because of my roommates. They are constantly in the kitchen, cooking delicious and un-nutritious food. No matter where I go in the house, the smells travel through the indoor air and tempt me away from my diet. The problem is, our air return vent is located right near the kitchen. Whenever the central HVAC system is running, it effectively delivers the smell of nachos, pizza, and cookies directly to my bedroom through the expensive air duct network. I don’t know what I’m going to do about these airborne temptations ruining my diet, but I also can’t afford to keep living this way.

Gave me code to the house but not the thermostat

A few days ago my friend contacted me out of the blue and sounded like she was in a panic.

She said that she had to go home for several weeks because her mom had come down with COVID.

There was nobody else to take care of her ailing mother and she was extremely concerned about her health. Of course, by exposing herself to the virus she was also going to have to be quarantined for several weeks. She asked if I could drop by her house and make sure that the HVAC system, pool, and lights were managed throughout her indefinite visit. Of course, I told her that I would be happy to stop by and check on the indoor air quality, plants, and anything else she needed. She quickly gave me the passcode to her smart door lock system and she hit the road. Well, she gave me one passcode but I’m lacking another important one. My friend never gave me the smart thermostat password. When I arrived at her house, the indoor air was ice cold. It seems like the central cooling system was running at a very demanding air quality control setting, but there was nobody in the house. She was wasting a lot of energy by using the air conditioner to this extent. I tried to adjust the thermostat down, but no matter what I tried, the smart thermostat was locked. I’ve been trying to get a hold of my friend all day so I can adjust the indoor air quality before I head back home. In the meantime, I guess I have no choice but to kick back and enjoy her amazing indoor cooling system. It helps that she left a huge box of wine.

Husband causes troubles with a/c

At the beginning of last summer, when I lowered the thermostat setting, I noticed a few troubles with the a/c.

There was a musty smell coming from the supply vents plus absolutely less air than normal.

It was also sending a significant amount of dust into my cabin plus operating at a louder sound level. I was fairly sure that all of these anxious could be solved by professional service. The cooling plan had sat idle throughout the fall, Wintertide plus Springtime seasons, but during that time, a significant amount of contaminants had most likely settled inside the unit. I figured there was actually mold growing on the cooling coil, dust on the fan blades plus algae clogging the condensate drain, while those troubles can lead to major malfunction, they can also be particularly resolved with a professional cleaning plus adjustment. A certified Heating in addition to Air Conditioning business has the specialized training, tools plus experience to take the cooling plan apart plus make any necessary adjustments. During annual service, the business respectfully tightens electrical affixions, lubricates moving parts, checks the several belts plus makes sure the filter is clean. My hubby was convinced he could manage these tasks! Since my hubby isn’t all that handy around the house, I wasn’t convinced. However, I didn’t suppose it would hurt to let him try. He devoted nearly numerous minutes to dismantling the cooling component plus cleaning each component; Once the a/c was put back together, it wouldn’t beginning up at all. I then needed to call for repair. It cost me a lot more to have the cooling component fixed than it would have for official upkeep.

Should have replaced gas furnace immediately

When my husband plus I first moved into our home, the gas furnace was already outdated plus not in honestly great condition, however at that time, both of us couldn’t afford to replace the furnace. All of us had too several other repairs that seemed more important, however the roof leaked, all of the kitchen appliances needed to be replaced plus several of the windows were broken, then my husband plus I set up a schedule for the several cabin improvements plus planned to replace the gas furnace in 3 years, then however, other troubles took precedence plus depleted our budget. The water heating system rusted through plus flooded the basement. My husband got in a car accident plus our insurance costs went up. All of us also got stuck buying a new clothes dryer. All of us kept that outdated gas furnace for eight more years, and every winter, both of us were unhappy with the high cost of our heating bills. All of us complained over the house feeling cold plus the amount of dust blowing from the supply vents. The gas furnace was noisy, inefficient plus ineffective. To save money, both of us set the thermostat as low as both of us could rest it plus dressed in thick socks plus heavy sweaters… I was conscientious about decreasing the air filter every few months plus scheduling professional upkeep in the fall. Every year, the Heating in addition to Air Conditioning business who handled the service would suggest replacing the gas furnace. He’d warn us that the heating plan wouldn’t last much longer. All of us were convinced both of us couldn’t afford a new gas furnace. However, the heating system eventually failed during a blizzard over the Christmas holidays. All of us had no option but to take out a loan plus install a new gas furnace. All of us were then amazed by how much lower our bi-weekly utility bills were! Plus, the house was so much more comfortable. All of us should have replaced the gas furnace when both of us first moved in.

Every one of us had to redo the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system at our church during the shutdown

Six months ago, the congregation at our church voted to go ahead and substitute the heating and cooling system in our building. Every one of us had been thinking about it off and on for a while, however the two of us kept putting it off. That’s because as a congregation, the two of us typically wanted to help others more than the two of us wanted to improve the indoor air pollen levels inside the church. I guess that’s a wonderful reason to put off upgrading your heating and cooling system, however the truth was that the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system particularly needed to be done regardless. In other words, I’m blissful for the reasoning behind not doing it, however the two of us particularly needed to get it done. Every one of us were having all kinds of problems with the furnace and the air conditioning device at the church building. When the two of us were forced to shut down services for a while because of the coronavirus, the two of us decided that it was going to be the perfect time to do all of the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C substitutes in the church, however since the two of us weren’t going to be meeting for a while, the two of us knew that it would be a wonderful time to update and service all of the ventilation ducts that needed to be worked on, then not only that, however since the two of us weren’t going to be having any people meeting there, it wouldn’t be an issue to be without our central air conditioning or furnace for weeks at a time. When you’re dealing with huge groups of people, you can’t particularly be without air conditioning during the summer. I’m blissful that the two of us were able to get the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system fixed up during the shutdown.

My partner has been having awful dust sensitivity problems this year

Every one of us followed his advice and asked our local Heating, Ventilation, and A/C worker if he had any advice for us.

My partner typically has awful dust sensitivity problems during the Springtime and summer, but I suppose that his pollen irritations have particularly been even worse this year than normal, however we’ve tried everything to try and help stop the dust sensitivity suffering, however nothing seems to be helping him! Every one of us tried several odd kinds of medications from the nurse and from over the counter stuff at the pharmacy, however nothing seemed to do the trick for him. His dust sensitivity nurse particularly told him that he was entirely going to have to start getting bi-weekly shots for his pollen irritations however then he thought of something… The dust sensitivity nurse particularly proposed that the two of us talk to our local Heating, Ventilation, and A/C corporation about doing something about the indoor air pollen levels in our house. He said that occasionally Heating, Ventilation, and A/C companies can help with a home’s indoor air pollen levels and that will in turn help with pollen irritations and breathing problems that people may have. Every one of us followed his advice and asked our local Heating, Ventilation, and A/C worker if he had any advice for us. He told us that he proposed doing a professional ductwork cleaning, just in case the two of us had some mold or mildew in our ductwork. He also said that he would entirely put a UV light media air cleaner in to run in tandem with our existing heating and cooling system. Every one of us decided to follow his advice and within a few weeks, our partner’s pollen irritations were doing much better! I couldn’t think that just getting the ductworks cleaned out and putting in an media air cleaner helped so much with his pollen irritations.

My fiance typically has bad allergy troubles while in the Spring as well as summer, however I suppose that her flu symptoms have absolutely been even worse this year than normal!

I couldn’t believe that just getting the air ducts cleaned out as well as putting in an air purification plan helped so much with her flu symptoms.

I smoke to ease my insomnia

Occasionally I feel pretty guilty and wish that I could be more open with my mom.

She and I have a pretty good relationship at this point but there are still areas of some subjects that I do not talk about with her.

One of those subjects is smoking pot, and we often talked about the numerous ways that the two of us try to keep our mental health in order and keep our insomnia reduced at night. Well, my preferred way is THC, but I have to smoke a bowl every night before I go to sleep or it’s not going to work. While staying at my mom’s house, this makes things rather complicated. All I can say is thank God she has a dehumidifier in the basement and the humidity removing air handling component does a nice job of filtering the air at the same time. I always stay in the basement at my mom’s house because it’s ice cold. I love to have my privacy and my own separate A/C. Additionally, it gives me some protection when I need to hit my bedtime bowl. My mom has a small dehumidifier situated in the basement area which has been a lifesaver for me, however not only keep the indoor air temperature even colder, it also provides excellent background noise when the dehumidifier is running all night. Additionally, I was seriously happy to find that the filtration system installed on the dehumidifier does a fairly nice job removing my smokey smells from the air. Before I was cranking up the dehumidifier to keep my air pollution under wraps, I entirely wasn’t sleeping well at night… out of fear for her scorn.
