My client recently set up a beauty shop in a commercial building without any HVAC installation. They had tried to use room units because the building did not let them install ducts to support a more efficient HVAC unit, but that option was inadequate, and they needed better help with indoor comfort. I have worked with multiple small business owners who’d found themselves in the same situation but didn’t know the type of quality HVAC that would sort their problem. While doing my business installations consultations, I learned from an HVAC professional at the local business that a ductless heat pump was an excellent option for commercial properties that did not have ducts for central HVAC. There are many HVAC brands to pick from, but I always left that to the client’s discretion once I took them to the HVAC business to listen in on what the HVAC provider was recommending. Once they picked the brand, all we did was get an HVAC repairman to do the installation. Involving heating experts made the process easier because the client would easily decide. The beauty shop client is the most informed client I have ever had because they knew that a heat pump would help them but needed expert guidance. They also wanted a thermostat installed to help regulate the temperatures when they were at the store and closed. As for air filters, they decided to go with the disposable option because the location of the business is a bit too dusty. As with the other retail business clients, the beauty shop owner is happy with the installation and that HVAC maintenance will not be too tasking or expensive for them.
Environmentalism: A better HVAC unit option
I’d visited my cousin, an HVAC provider, when he asked me to join him for an HVAC brands expo. In my mind, I thought it would be a boring event where we’d walk around looking at different brands selling their products as the best quality HVAC in the market and telling us how the HVAC installation would help with indoor comfort for all sorts of clients. My cousin runs an HVAC business, and I thought it would be a window-shopping experience. He promised I would have fun and possibly learn something worth my environmental activism. My skepticism made me feel that any mention of environmentalism would be a greenwashing move from businesses trying to sell me an HVAC unit. I followed him anyway because he promised drinks if I hated it, and I was sure I’d hate it. The first people he met were an HVAC professional team from a different local business, but they were friendly and not competitive. I was afraid he would start greeting everyone until we got to the exhibition area, and I went off to explore on my own. There were stands with different air filters where I learned about different types of HEPA filters and a thermostat stand. But the most interesting was the ductless heat pump exhibitions from other brands. I knew its capability at each stand, but they all agreed that it was a better option for the environment. I was so excited that I filled those parts for my Instagram story, and some of the replies I got from people who were already using heat pumps were that it did save energy and that HVAC maintenance was not as demanding as most people claimed. I learned so much that I decided to buy the resident HVAC repairman a few drinks to convince me to join him.
The holiday home we stayed at had a ductless heat pump
I love traveling because I learn new things I can try at home. My last holiday was during our wedding anniversary. My wife and I had planned to take time off parenting and go for a weekend getaway at a cozy holiday home we’d been recommended to. While at the holiday home, I noticed that the HVAC installation they had in the house did not use any ducts. That piqued my interest because, apart from the thermostat, they were keen on HVAC maintenance and had even changed the air filters when we arrived. My wife thought that maybe the ductwork was well hidden for aesthetics, but I pointed out that there was no space for ductwork in that house. I had to ask the caretaker. On our second day, I wondered what the home used to help with indoor comfort because we found it very efficient but did not understand how it worked. The caretaker told us that it was a ductless heat pump. I had never heard of them because all the quality HVAC I was familiar with was ducted. The caretaker knew little about it and was ready to take us to the HVAC business to meet their HVAC provider for more details. Still, I assured him that with the HVAC unit name, we would inquire from the HVAC professional at the local business when we got home. I forgot about it until the HVAC repairman servicing our home’s a/c came around, and I remembered I had questions. I got to learn more about it, why more people are taking it up, and the HVAC brands with the best quality products for when I decide to upgrade our heating and cooling.

Looking at package style a/cs for residential homes
I’m not a fan of dealing with real estate agents, but if you want to buy property sometimes it’s a necessary evil… I have bought plus sold homes without real estate agents, but sometimes it helps to have a second set of hands on deck; Sporadically they shall find properties that you are not even aware have been listed. In these situations, it could be helpful to consult with a real estate agent even if you do not use them for the final sale, then there could be certain things about a house that you do not know to look for especially when you are hiring an inspector for the first time. I did not know how to find water disfigurement in homes when I was a new apartment buyer… But nowadays I can figure out even the most hidden water disfigurement problems, however on top of that, you might not know about finding out if you can make certain adjustments to homes after the fact! For instance, some homes will only take certain heating plus cooling systems. I bought an old house down south once that had such a small addict I couldn’t use a traditional ventilation system. I could not get metal ductwork so I had to use flex duct. Right now I’m dealing with a house that I’m trying to renovate even though I am starting to wonder if I should just get a package style a/c for it, but a package style a/c has one huge component that contains both the condenser plus the evaporator coil. It’s sort of like a window a/c but much greater. Of course the evaporator coil is inside the house while the rest of the component is on the outside of the house. Sporadically you’ll see a package Heating plus A/C system on the side of a house or on its rooftop.
