I love running a vintage shop, more so when people bring in their fancy old stuff for me to buy and sell. The trouble with it all comes with the dust and odors that cling to them. At first, I thought the big windows in the shop and the efficient HVAC system would help retain…
My grandmother hit her 90s a year ago, and with old age comes health issues she’d never had. I am the only family member who still lives in the same area as her, so I care for her. The last time she had a sneeze and continued respiratory irritation, the doctor recommended that we check…
My clients bought a home that had a history of mold. The owners were decent enough to tell them about it and how it had been resolved. It was ready to be moved into, but they wanted to ensure that the indoor air quality was not compromised. During our home service consultation, we gave them…
Before I started working remotely, my last job was based in an old office complex with a faulty HVAC. The HVAC professional had become a familiar face around the office area, always fixing the old HVAC equipment the landlords refused to fix. We used to change the air filter for our office every month, but…
My 9-year-old daughter Mia wanted a custom built princess themed dollhouse for her birthday. I offered to purchase a dollhouse that we saw online, but she insisted on having a specific dollhouse with custom features. My husband Jeff and I tried to talk her out of this idea, but to no avail.

I always remember the good old heating and air conditioning stuff that I grew up around. Today heating and air conditioning has become so much more advanced I really do not like it as much to be honest. Call it me being old maybe, but I would much rather have a window air conditioning system…
After having central heating for the longest time I finally decided that it is time to get a new form of heating. What I decided on was to get radiant heated floors for my home. Radiant heated floors is going to be a great way to save me money on my energy bills and also…
I have a very old furnace in my home and I thought it was about time that I replaced it. It had been giving me a lot of issues and it can also be very close to breaking down for good. So making this investment into a brand new and totally up to date furnace…
