I’m very lucky to have as much holiday time as I do.

• But it also took decades of laboring inside the commercial Heating, Ventilation & A/C of the office to hit this point in my career as well.

Still, getting 5 weeks of holiday time per year is something I cherish. And getting away at the end of Summer for two weeks has been a grand tradition since our youngsters were little babies. In fact, my wife Max and I used to get away for four or five mornings at the end of Summer before the youngsters were born. Now, our kids are having their own children and that makes the family holiday even that much more fun. But for me, I still like to indulge myself when it’s holiday time. I am wonderful about eating properly and getting out of the commercial Heating, Ventilation & A/C at lunch time for a walk. I’ve reduced several things that I still have such a craving for. So being on holiday is a time where I can indulge my appetites a bit and not feel bad about it. And currently, a little bit of those cravings go a legitimately long way. Another thing that has been curbed in our household is the air conditioning. We have a smart control unit now that absolutely keeps precise limits on the air conditioning output. From a cost savings standpoint, that’s just awesome. Max and I are saving so much more money over the course of an entire heat season from June through September. So Max makes sure that the holiday rental we stay in has zone controlled Heating, Ventilation & A/C. I like to have a small control unit in our living room so I can crank the cooling and snuggle in deeply even though it’s the beach at the end of Summer.

I own a local landscaping biz & going to work every afternoon is truly a bit of a passion & not just a task, i cherish how I don’t need to spend my afternoons inside some office with zone controlled Heating & Air Conditioning; There is no tie or costly shoes that I am supposed to put on.

I don’t have to go to a conference room for hours of boring meetings either.

I’m out in the elements every single afternoon offering my skills and services to my customers. To do that, I have to invest in quality equipment & take good care of that investment, otherwise, I’m not doing a fundamental part of being a business. This is why it consistently blows my mind to go into a supplier that doesn’t have satisfactory heating & cooling. This is happening more & more often I’m finding. It’s one thing to kneel in line with bad a/c at the vegetable stand, then but it’s quite another to be at a substantial warehouse sort of structure shopping with bad commercial Heating & Air Conditioning, then where my superb friend Sam and I live, it’s more about the cooling than it is about the heating so a quality commercial Heating & Air Conditioning unit is a must, then even one of my favorite restaurants learned the most taxing way that commercial Heating & Air Conditioning is a fundamental part of having a business. I always enjoyed this place & they went to all carry out during the pandemic. This was OK with me as dining in the restaurant was consistently uncomfortable due to a dire lack of cooling from the commercial Heating & Air Conditioning. Once the pandemic began to wane, these folks noticed a considerable drop in diners, finally, they upgraded the old commercial Heating & Air Conditioning equipment & now there is a line out the door now each time I pass by that restaurant.

I’ve consistently been so amazed & impressed by my wife Kim.

But the fact that she is going back to school to get her Master’s degree is most impressive indeed.

This is on top of working full time & being a mother to our two youngsters, and like me, Kim works full time inside the commercial Heating & Air Conditioning of an office building. We’re both so lucky to be working in fields that Kim and I enjoy. For her to go where she wants to go with her career, it took graduate school, since her supplier is paying for it & my superb friend and I live in a school town, it seemed like a no brainer. But Kim and I also knew that this sort of commitment would come with a lot of change. I was legit willing to do whatever I could do in order to support my wife’s goals. To that end, I’m doing more around the central a/c of the house to free Kim up more. That means doing the cleaning, the shopping, most of the cooking, the laundry & all of that. The youngsters have even helped out by getting rides to after school stuff & being better about picking up after themselves, however yet, Kim and I faced a challenge immediately when it came to having a quiet place to read for my wife; The kids and I all did our best to keep it down but it’s not like my superb friend and I live at a Borders. So my superb friend and I ended up clearing out the old room at the end of the house. I put in a desk & even had the Heating & Air Conditioning supplier come out. They installed a small ductless heat pump for heating & cooling in the mud room. The fact that it’s all the way on the distant end of the house & sealed off from the noise made a substantial difference.

When I first started living out here in the woods, it was stranger than it is now.

Even with all the planning & strategic execution of my plan, it was taxing at 1st.

Living off the grid is not something that was done all that much back when I chose to do it. But currently, I even have residential Heating & Air Conditioning in my lodge way out here in the woods. It was quite funny when the Heating & Air Conditioning professional had to follow me all the way out here in the woods. I had paid a bit extra for them to make the trip. Still, the Heating & Air Conditioning service tech was pretty blown away by how far out in the woods I truly live. The Heating & Air Conditioning guy was able to install the ductless heat pump that afternoon & was back in the world by evening, and I was now the proud owner of a new ductless heat pump. It’s just me & my wife Kim out here so it’s not like my superb friend and I need a ton of space. So just one ductless heat pump was all that was needed. When it comes to heating, the wood stove provides all of that & then some. But as Kim and I are getting older, my superb friend and I sure wanted some a/c for the Summer months. It can get so thick & boiling here to the point that fans just weren’t cutting it. With the advanced solar array Kim and I installed along with the advancements in Heating & Air Conditioning technology made having residential Heating & Air Conditioning a special occasion for us. Kim and I even used the heating from the ductless heat pump a few times this past Winter, then normally, there is a roaring fire going for heating all Winter. But when Kim and I have to travel or go to see friends overnight, it’s nice to have the ductless heat pump while I get the fire lit again.

When Bob and I first moved down here, I felt so cheerful that my superb friend and I had pretty much negligible heating costs.

And that sort of spilled over into how Bob and I approached the a/c during the Summer.

For sure, the Summer heat & sweltering humidity are just a complete beast & very overwhelming at first. So I figured since I wasn’t paying truly anything in heating costs that I’d just lean into the cooling that Bob and I wanted in the Summer. That’s one way of looking at it but it soon became clear that this was a ridiculous way of cooling the house. After letting the a/c just run wild for the first three years, I decided to begin prepping the house in order to save on cooling costs. From there, it has been a strange little interest for me to keep saving just a bit more each year when it comes to lowering the a/c costs. This year is no different. Of course, I consistently start with basic Heating & Air Conditioning maintenance on the heat pump. And then stopping direct sun heating & sealing up the ducts truly tightly are the next essential steps. But after that, I’ve added something each year to save a little bit more. The largest saver so far was entirely adding the smart thermostat. The new Heating & Air Conditioning technology was such a substantial saver at nearly 17 percent over the year prior. Yet, I still like to add a bit to the a/c plans. So this year, I’m going to try & cook outside on the grill all Summer instead of heating up the house with using the stove or the oven. It’s either that or try hanging up the clothes instead of using the dryer.

So the next two Mondays, my superb friend Max and I are working remotely from the house as the office finally gets new commercial Heating & Air Conditioning.

This has been long awaited by any of us who’ve suffered with the worst heating & cooling system.

I’ve been in this office now for a dozen years or so & the commercial Heating & Air Conditioning has never been good. In the Winter, I have to bring in a space heater. I put that little space heating system right underneath my desk & often have to wear my coat at times. That seems deranged to me, and how could a substantial supplier like this not have basic heating & cooling? I often wondered if it was just our office or what. Well, I got an answer when I was sent to the southern offices to fill in for a month. That place not only had the most superb commercial Heating & Air Conditioning but there was zone controlled Heating & Air Conditioning in that office building. I was astonished at just how nice that place was & the heating & cooling was virtually perfect. When I came back, I truly offered an earful to the bosses when they asked for my feedback on my time down south. And I didn’t let up either. I encouraged my other colleagues to press corporate for new commercial Heating & Air Conditioning as well. It just wasn’t right that Max and I were somehow the step child office that wasn’t getting satisfactory heating & cooling. Well, I feel like our pushing for new commercial Heating & Air Conditioning finally did something. The boss finally told us that it would take the Heating & Air Conditioning professionals two long weekends to upgrade the old, weak commercial Heating & Air Conditioning. And Max and I too are getting zone controlled Heating & Air Conditioning as well. I was told that there will now be 8 Heating & Air Conditioning zones across the office. It’s overdue but boy, I’m so cheerful it’s happening.
