You know, you do the best that you can to be an enjoyable, humorous, pleasant human being… and sometimes it just doesn’t work out.

I don’t know if I’m completely socially inept or what the deal is, but oftentimes my brain gets out of order and so do my outward behaviors.

This tends to push people away and leaves me feeling like a total failure. It’s especially difficult when you’re trying to establish and maintain professional relationships in this challenging modern world. I only realized this the hard way, after my heating, cooling, and air quality control system went off the deep end and I had no one to call for help. I woke up one day and realized that my indoor air was feeling stagnant, uneven, and moist. I tried to mess with the thermostat, but nothing was changing. I couldn’t get the AC unit or the furnace to engage, even when I turned the air quality control system completely on and off. I wound up googling all sorts of search terms for “broken heating and cooling system,” “no indoor air quality control,” “AC and furnace won’t work.” None of my heating and cooling DIY efforts helped the indoor air quality, though. Finally, I called the local indoor air temperature control system repair shop and asked for an emergency repair service. I was shocked when the receptionist at the HVAC service shop simply told me they had no available heating and cooling workers to send out to my home. After pressing the HVAC receptionist further, she revealed that my usual heating and cooling tech no longer wanted to come out to the house. Why? Because I was always annoyingly talking about my DIY repair ideas while he dedicatedly worked on the heating and cooling system that I would inevitably break again.

When I got a new indoor air handling system in my old home, I thought I was good to go for a few years.

Things were finally working out! I had a job, a home and a working indoor climate control system.

From the moment my heating and cooling technician arrived with the brand new AC and furnace and a team of HVAC technicians ready to complete the installation, I thought all my troubles were over. I didn’t really think that there was another thing that I had to worry about with my indoor climate or continual lifelong comfort. I went to work each day, watched TV, and slept soundly during all the moments in between. But what I never considered was the ongoing health of my indoor air quality control system. I certainly never considered that the brand new HVAC system was going to need additional professional attention… or that the ongoing maintenance and service appointments were required to keep myself out of bankruptcy. It turns out that indoor air quality control systems should not be ignored. If you want to operate your heating and cooling unit each day, you should take care of it. If you forget professional service appointments for your indoor air conditioning and heating units, you aren’t going to have a manufacturer warranty to count on anymore. If anything goes wrong with the expensive high tech AC unit or furnace, you’re going to be paying out of pocket. I figured all of this out the worst way when my HVAC units suddenly stopped creating clean, comfortable indoor air a few months ago. In a flash, I realized that I had never called an HVAC repair service for the system. I also never registered the warranty. Now it looks like I’m buying a whole new HVAC system this week.

I’m certainly not the brightest bulb in the box, and I never claim to be.

• When other people are looking for advice or opinions on a topic, I’m the first to shrug my shoulders and tell them I’m unqualified to offer any assistance.

I don’t ever want people to get the idea that they should listen to the information in my brain. This is one of the largest reasons why I really didn’t think anything of it when my partner kept telling me I had horrible allergies. I assumed that she was correct after watching me cough, sneeze, and rub my face for a few months on end after the seasons changed. Surely, she knew that the climate and air quality were affecting my respiratory system in a way that I couldn’t doubt. SO I proceeded through the weeks, taking OTC allergy medicine and waiting for my illnesses to clear up. Unfortunately, they never did. I coughed and sneezed my way through the winter season before the warm, balmy spring air finally entered our environment. As soon as we had an air temperature and air quality change, there was a big improvement in my breathing. Unfortunately, when the AC was utilized, the sneezes started again. It took a professional respiratory specialist to tell me what the problem was – not allergies, but the amount of debri floating in my air ducts, air filter, and air quality control equipment. When a local HVAC technician saw my horribly neglected indoor air temperature control system, he was shocked that I was still standing. Now I have clean air ducts, brand new HEPA filters that I change every 6 weeks, and a regular HVAC service plan.

Growing up I never had to learn how to do anything, really. My mom and dad took care of the entire house, all the way down to the weekly chores. I wasn’t responsible for a single thing in life until I left the house and started to learn what being a “real adult” was like. To be honest, I wish that I had learned a lot earlier about the best ways to do things, and the proper mindset to have when it comes to caring for your belongings. This is one of the reasons why I’m sitting here, currently completely freezing cold, without a single way to manage my indoor air temperature. Don’t get me wrong, I had a heating, cooling, and air quality control system before. I had a full thermostat, forced air furnace, and central cooling device at this house. And I never appreciated a single piece of that indoor air quality control equipment, if I’m being honest. No one ever told me that I should. Instead, I learned that touching the thermostat would change the indoor air temperature and the rest of the entire HVAC system just worked itself out. Now, as a grownup, I know that there’s important regular maintenance to perform on your air conditioner and furnace. Unfortunately, I found this out way too late… when my own HVAC system completely broke down. Instead of my parents teaching me about high quality indoor air temperature management, I had to learn about it from the HVAC technician who diagnosed my AC and furnace setup as “toast.” I sure wish I knew better before I got into this ice cold situation.

If you’re like me, you have been witness to just how expensive it is to live in this country these days.

There doesn’t seem to be a simple and cheap option much anymore. Like when I replaced the HVAC equipment in our home a year or so ago. I was stunned by the entire experience really. For one, I couldn’t believe how far the HVAC technology had advanced for residential HVAC. It was beyond impressive. At the same time, the cheapest model by the least recommended manufacturer was still more than three or four times what I paid for my last HVAC unit. But, I so got my money’s worth out of the old heating and cooling equipment that I really can’t complain too much. And I really made an effort to extend the life of my HVAC equipment from the very beginning all those years ago. Of course, regular HVAC maintenance was essential to the value and longevity of that HVAC unit. And when the HVAC service plan came around like 10 years ago, it made it just that much easier to get HVAC service. So the old HVAC equipment was well maintained by the HVAC professionals. But I too made a point of doing my best to ease the load on the HVAC equipment. I made sure the thermostat settings were commensurate with the outside temperature. And I was always consistent with how I used the HVAC unit as well. Easing the load on the HVAC unit really helped save me plenty on HVAC utility costs. But it also really added years to the life of that old HVAC unit.

If you’re like me, you have been witness to just how lavish it is to live in this country these days.

There doesn’t seem to be a simple plus cheap option much anymore.

Like when I updated the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C unit in our home a year or so ago. I was stunned by the entire experience really. For one, I couldn’t think how far the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C technology had advanced for residential Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C. It was beyond impressive. At the same time, the cheapest model by the least requested manufacturer was still more than numerous or numerous times what I paid for our last Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C unit. But, I so got our money’s worth out of the seasoned heating plus cooling unit that I particularly can’t complain too much. And I particularly made an effort to extend the life of our Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C unit from the absolutely start all those years ago. Of course, common Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C service was essential to the value plus longevity of that Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C unit. And when the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C service idea came around like 10 years ago, it made it just that much easier to get Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C service. So the seasoned Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C unit was well maintained by the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C professionals. But I too made a point of doing our best to ease the load on the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C equipment. I made sure the thermostat settings were commensurate with the outside temperature. And I was typically consistent with how I used the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C component as well. Easing the load on the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C component particularly helped save me plenty on Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C utility costs. But it also particularly added years to the life of that seasoned Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C unit.
