Friend doesn’t get the a/c basics

I have a friend who I have known since we attended nursery school together.

Hannah is a entirely nice plus generous person.

However, she isn’t overly knowledgeable about practical things. She once complained to myself and others that her bathroom faucet was broken. She was getting only a easily small stream of water. I took a look plus discovered that the aerator was completely congested. I also needed to show her how to clean the lint trap in the dryer, clean the filters in her vacuum cleaner plus change the filter in her furnace, and when her thermostat wasn’t laboring, I proposed she try adjusting the batteries. One of the most deranged things she’s ever done is ask myself and others for the name plus number of our mechanic. When I asked why she needed it, she told myself and others she had a problem with her air conditioner. I assumed she meant the A/C in her car. She called our auto mechanic plus got aggravated when they refused to make a housecall. She complained to myself and others about it, plus I realized that she was talking about the central a/c installed in her home. I then explained that she needed an Heating plus Air Conditioning provider. Hannah had no clue what the acronym stands for. I also discovered that after living in her house for nearly more than nine years, she’d never once tied up repair for the cooling system. I wasn’t all that surprised to hear that the a/c was failing to provide adequate comfort on especially hot afternoons. Hannah told myself and others there was a musty odor coming from the vents. I was sure there was mold growing on the cooling coils plus algae thriving in the condensate drain.

Needing emergency furnace repair during a snowstorm

My local section experiences Winter time weather that can be dangerous.

There are times when the temperature drops well below zero plus remains there.

At the same time, we get several feet of snow accumulating in a matter of hours. Along with icy pavement, the wind creates white-outs that make driving especially hazardous. There are frequent driving bans, travel advisories plus Winter time weather warnings. All of us worry about losing power plus the potential of water pipes cold… Several people die every year from hypothermia! Having a functioning heating plan is a necessity, however last January, during a particularally nasty blizzard, our furnace quit, however my hubby plus I tried everything to get the heating plan operating again. All of us updated the air filter plus the batteries in the thermostat. All of us checked the breakers, vacuumed out the vents plus hit the reset button! Nothing worked, plus the indoor temperature dropped hastily. All of us bundled up in numerous layers of jackets, Winter time coats, hats plus mittens. All of us wrapped ourselves in heavy blankets plus found a couple of space furnaces in the attic. All of us also started making calls, looking for an Heating plus Air Conditioning contractor to provide emergency repairs. Because of the road conditions plus heavily falling snow, we had difficulty finding a supplier that was willing to offer service. All of us were easily appreciative of the specialist who showed up at our house at several in the day to repair our furnace. He needed to update several parts plus make several adjustments to get the heating plan running again. He encouraged us to schedule a thorough maintenance of the furnace as soon as the weather became more cooperative.

Needing emergency gas furnace repair while I was in a blizzard

My local area experiences Wintertide weather that can be dangerous. There are times when the temperature drops well below zero and remains there. At the same time, the two of us get many feet of snow accumulating in a matter of hours. Along with icy pavement, the wind creates colorless-outs that make driving especially hazardous. There are frequent driving bans, travel advisories and Wintertide weather warnings. Both of us worry about losing power and the potential of water pipes freezing. Several people die every year from hypothermia… Having a functioning furnace is a necessity, then last January, while I was in a unique ly nasty blizzard, my gas furnace quit… My wife and I tried everything to get the furnace operating again. Both of us upgraded the air filter and the batteries in the temperature control. Both of us checked the breakers, vacuumed out the vents and hit the reset button, but nothing worked, and the indoor temperature dropped hastily. Both of us bundled up in many layers of jackets, Wintertide coats, hats and mittens. Both of us wrapped ourselves in heavy blankets and found a couple of space gas furnaces in the attic. Both of us also started making calls, looking for an Heating, Ventilation, and A/C company to give emergency repairs. Because of the road conditions and heavily falling snow, the two of us had difficulty finding a company that was willing to offer service. Both of us were actually appreciative of the worker who showed up at our house at many in the afternoon to repair our gas furnace. She needed to upgrade many parts and make many adjustments to get the furnace running again. She encouraged us to schedule a thorough repair of the gas furnace as soon as the weather became more cooperative.

The storm had stopped the power

Things were getting silly as the winds kicked in, then the two of us could hear it brushing against the trees outside and every one of us knew the storm was close.

The weather lady had said people should make sure they are in a safe area before the rain.

There were also predictions of record cutting flooding, then living by the coast has its merits. The two of us are only about 10 minutes from the beach, but when every one of us were youngsters, we’d have to drive minutes to get to the beach and appreciate the waves, but, now every one of us are living by the coats, and in no time enjoying the sun and sand, but however, the other side of living in this area is every summer time every one of us have to deal with storms that batter the area mercilessly, then and with weather conditions change, the strength of the storms keeps getting worse; Eventually the storm arrived and knocked off the power. The two of us were lucky to have the generator because it kicked in soon after and every one of us still had a/c! In the past, when every one of us only relied on the national grid, we’d have to go separate from a/c until the power was back. When the storm was really bad, we’d go afternoons separate from power, and believe every bit of not having A/C in the house! Only later did every one of us add the backup generator which now ensures every one of us have power and can keep the a/c running. The youngsters won’t have to complain about the house being too tepid because the A/C is off. Always try and invest in a generator if you live in an area where power goes off because of bad weather. This can be the summer time storms or Wintertide blizzards.

Ordering takeout

I’m just getting out of work.

This week has been a struggle.

I put in 62 hours in 5 days! My social life has been put on pause and I keep telling my friends I don’t have time. They want me to go to the movies or dinner. I just don’t have the time. Tonight I just want to stay home and order Chinese. My friends can wait till tomorrow but to be honest I may just take this weekend to myself. It’s disgustingly hot outside today. That reminds me to turn my air conditioning on. I’m really happy I called the HVAC company who sent out a heating and cooling technician to make sure everything is in working order as well as he installed the new digital thermostat. That is the best decision I have made in a long time. With all the stresses I have been encountering recently I’m glad that is not one of them. I only had the digital thermostat installed because my buddy Jim had one installed last summer and he showed me how amazing and easy it is to do. Today is about 85 degrees so I’m going to set my a/c to 67 degrees. I think that would be a good number for today. I think tonight will be a murder mystery documentary kind of night on tv. I’m not sure how long I’ll even get into that as well because I can see myself falling asleep by 7:30 pm tonight. I really hope no one calls me because I’m not going to answer my phone. Now for the 45 minute ride home.

Life has been a struggle

I have been holding off doing laundry for far too long.

The thing is that I have to pack it up and either walk 2 miles down the road with it, ask a friend to take me or call a rideshare service.

I’m lazy and this to me is a lot of work. I wish I took the time to wash my clothes more often or I could afford a washer and dryer. So many things in the last year have gone wrong for me. My girlfriend broke up with me, I lost my job and I had to find a new place to live. There are other things as well but those are the major ones I have. This place I moved into has its fair share of issues as well although the landlord said they are having repairs done within the month. I only moved here without it being finished because I needed a place as soon as possible or I’d be on the streets. There are some holes in the wall from the former tenant, the oven doesn’t work, the a/c conditioning is broken. The boiler needs repairs so I have cold water currently. The HVAC company is sending out one of their heating and cooling technicians at the end of the week so that’s a plus. Currently I borrowed my buddies portable space heater to help keep the place warm. I’m not going to complain really because I know the situation I got myself into. I’m just really happy I found a place to live in. Fall is here and the temperatures are dropping so having a roof over my head is a plus.
