Looking for the right air conditioner

I’ve been visiting the local heating and AC businesses lately because I’m looking to get an air conditioning system.

However I’m not looking to just get any kind of air conditioning system, I really want to get the air conditioning system that I know is going to be right for me. Unfortunately, I’m not quite sure what that is and so I guess I’m just going to have to look around at all these different cooling units to see what I think would fit me best. However the more I found myself looking at all the different heating and AC products on the shelves the more I found myself becoming more and more confused because there were just so many different cooling systems to choose from. They were at all different price ranges and they all offered their own individual pros and cons. How was I ever going to choose? That is when a helpful heating and AC worker came up to me and he asked me if I needed any help and I told him I did. I told him what I was looking for and he was able to give me multiple recommendations based on what I was wanting in an AC system. I walked out with a ductless mini split AC that day. I’m really happy that I came across that heating and AC worker because if I hadn’t I don’t know if I would have been able to ever decide what kind of cooling system it was that I was wanting to get. There were just too many to choose from, either that or I was going to have to do a lot of research online which would have been much more time consuming. I’ll admit I’m a little lazy, I would rather have a heating and AC guy tell me what would probably work best then do hours of research on heating and cooling systems.

A family of HVAC technicians

There are some families that have one or more careers that run in the family tree.

  • Some people are a family of doctors, maybe some are a family of construction workers, and in my family about five out of every six people in the family become heating and AC workers.

One of the things I’ve always loved about my family is that while there’s always a lot of emphasis that’s put on going into the heating and AC business, it’s not something that my parents ever pressured me to do. I went into the heating and AC business because it’s something I absolutely love. My family comes from two generations of HVAC workers. My grandparents both worked in the heating and AC business and I started their own heating and AC business when they were only 21 and 25 years old. They were crazy busy at the time because they had just gotten married and then started their very own business. When they had kids, my mom always wanted her to take over the family business and she did just that because she found that she loved doing heating and AC work. When my mom met my dad, they met at, you guessed it, a local heating and AC business, my dad was a heating and AC technician from another heating and cooling business and that is how my mom and him met, through a coworker who was a friend of a friend. When my mom and dad had me and my siblings, they always encouraged us to become heating and AC technicians as well because of how much it runs in our family, and I also enjoyed heating and AC stuff from young age, but it was always encouraged for us to explore our passions and it was fine if we didn’t want to become heating and AC workers. Ultimately though I love being a HVAC worker and I wouldn’t want to give it up for anything.

My son went into the heating and cooling trade

I’m so proud of my boy. He’s recently gotten his HVAC certificate and is officially going into the heating and AC trade. I have to admit in the beginning I wasn’t always the most supportive parent, I just didn’t think that becoming a heating AC technician was going to be something that was good for him because I was afraid that it wasn’t going to be something that he would be able to financially support himself with. I just wanted to see my son in a good position and well off and living happily, but I soon came to realize that becoming a heating and AC technician is what he always wanted to do and I knew that I should support his dreams even if I wasn’t sure if it would work out for him. However I’m happy to say that things have gone excellent for him ever since he got his Heating and AC certification. He’s already had a job interview with two different heating and AC businesses and he’s excited to start working officially as a heating and AC guy. He’s told me all the details about both of these companies he’s working for and which one he prefers over the other. He’s also told me that he’s been informed that when he first starts he’s going to be training with a more experienced heating and AC worker before going to work on his own. I’m so proud of my son and all he’s accomplished and I know that he’s going to do really well. Besides, nothing is more important in my opinion than having good heating and AC in your home. I don’t know about you but I personally couldn’t live without my air conditioning system during the summer months!

I'm excited for the new HVAC business

So every time I wanted to go and get really anything I always had to go to the city

I’m excited for the brand new heating and AC company that has arrived in town. I live in a small town and we don’t get a lot of new businesses that open up very often and so every time we do it’s always exciting. The building has already been built and I have a sign out front that says their first opening is going to be on Sunday. I decided to show up on Sunday to see their first opening and congratulate them as well as go inside and see what kinds of HVAC products they offered for sale. I was really surprised when I saw that there was a large crowd that was gathered outside of the heating and AC business on Sunday. They weren’t even open yet and yet they were already pretty popular. I’m sad to say that before this heating company we didn’t even have a HVAC business in my small town. I always had to go to the city to get heating and AC products. I couldn’t even really order them online because I live in such a rural area that it’s difficult to get packages out here. So every time I wanted to go and get really anything I always had to go to the city. Well I’m still going to have to travel to the city to get other items but I’m not going to have to go there anymore to get heating and AC products. Now that this heating and AC business has opened up in my town I’ll be able to just walk straight from my house over to the HVAC business to get a brand new air conditioner if I need one. I’m super excited about it.

I wasn't changing the air filter often enough

I always take good care of my heating and AC system.

I always have it maintained every 6 months, even if it seems to be working perfectly fine I always have the heating and AC guys come out here to take a look at it.

I spent way too much money installing a brand new HVAC system a few years ago and so if I spent that much money you better believe that I want it to be taken care of. However, what was confusing me was that it seemed like no matter how well I maintained my heating and AC system it was only getting worse. Even the HVAC guy told me that my heating and cooling unit was in good condition but my indoor air quality was only getting worse! I don’t understand. I thought that the more you maintained your heating and AC system, the better indoor air quality would be. Something isn’t working for me. After another 6 months when the heating and AC guy came out to take a look at my heating and air conditioning system to see how it was doing I brought up this issue to him and he asked me a very simple question. Had I been changing the air filter regularly? The moment he asked this I felt like I had been hit by a ton of bricks. It was so simple I hadn’t changed the air filter even once! No wonder I was having such a terrible indoor air quality. I admitted that I completely forgot to change the air filter and he gave me an air filter for free. How kind of him. As soon as I put that brand new air filter in my HVAC system I noticed immediate results so my indoor air quality. I was relieved not only did I now have good indoor air quality but this also meant that there was nothing wrong with my heating and AC system.

Taking care of my indoor air quality

Like most people I have a heating and air conditioning system, and one of the things that I have to do as part of having an HVAC system is to maintain it.

Maintaining it isn’t just good for the HVAC system but it’s also good for my overall indoor air quality.

If you’re not sure why this is, allow me to explain. When you have a heating and AC system that is well maintained and taken care of, that also contributes to you having good indoor air quality. The reason for this is because your heating and AC system can be a big contributor to the indoor air quality in your home. So for instance, an old and outdated heating and AC system that isn’t taken care of and is run down isn’t going to give you very good indoor air quality because it’s not well taken care of itself. Whereas a more modern Heating and AC system that is always maintained and is in good condition is going to do a much better job giving you good air quality than a poor condition HVAC system. I used to not take very good care of my heating and AC system and as a result I didn’t have good air quality but it was a HVAC technician that taught me how to properly take care of my heating and AC system. Ever since he showed me what I was doing wrong and what I should do right I haven’t had any issues with my HVAC system and I’ve always had great indoor air quality since then.
