I was never a big time cat person. I wasn’t an animal lover at all to begin with. I never owned a cat though. I didn’t know if I would like one or not. When I moved to Tampa, Florida I was surprised by the amount of stray cats. There was a gray tabby cat […]

I wasn’t too pleased to move to Birmingham, Alabama but I needed to for my husband’s work. We toured a whole bunch of houses to see what would work out best for our growing family. Myhusband is pretty cheap. He really liked the idea of living in a total crap hole of a house, remodeling […]

Have you often looked up and thought about your ductwork? The ducts are often overlooked by homeowners. They are responsible for a lot though. The air ducts transfer heated and cooled air from room to room. They also keep your HVAC unit efficient, operating happy, and promote lower energy bills. When ductwork has a small […]

Sioux Falls, SD deals with a lot of cold weather. That cold weather means my gas furnace starts up as early as Halloween and doesn’t let up until well after Easter. It is a long time with the forced air constantly recycling around the home. The doors and windows are all sealed up tight to […]

I decided that I was going to redo my flooring in Minnesota. For years I have had the ugliest carpets in the world. They were these stained ugly looking brown shag rugs that came with the home. I hated the look, feel, smell, and the way they cleaned up. Finally I decided to treat myself. […]

The benefit of high velocity is the smaller than average ductwork. The ducts are half the size, bendy, and can […]

When I relocated to Springfield, Missouri, I was eager to experience all four seasons. Born and raised in the deep south, I was accustomed to heat and humidity but had never seen snow. My first winter was a bit difficult. I was not prepared for temperatures in the low twenties and even the teens. I […]

I am very conscientious about taking goodcare of my forced-air furnace. The cost of purchasing and installing the heating system was significant. Due to the weather in South Bend, Indiana, it operates for approximately eight months of the year and makes a big impact on the household budget. I need to make sure it performs […]

I have looked into buying myself a boiler system. I liked the thought of having a good quality heating system for the Tuscaloosa winter. It is not like it gets severely cold with snow, ice, and below freezing temperatures. However, it still gets cold and I like that boilers are so versatile. A boiler system […]

Air quality is a big concern in a Texas household. The sticky heat and high humidity means we are stuck indoors a lot. The inside living is harsh on the air quality. Never being able to open our windows to let in a fresh breeze guarantees the same, stale air is recycling over and over […]
