HVAC Repair Tips for Homeowners

I love my job as an HVAC technician because no two days are similar.

Every day there are new problems to solve, I meet different people each day, some good, some irate, and some very hospitable and understanding. I love them all because with every different personality is an opportunity to learn something new. We received a call at the local business, it was a customer requesting the installation of an air purification system. The customer’s residence was my neighbor’s barn. I later found out that my neighbor had rented the place to a new tenant that had come from the city. The customer had requested a vented air purifier as well as a ductless heat pump. This meant that we needed to go through the ductwork installation and intricate duct sealing process. I then came down to install the filters and that is when I saw her. Her skin was stunning against the summer sun. Beads of sweat had formed on her forehead as she was from a run. I was taken aback by her beauty but I had to finish the job before anything. Mounting the thermostat marked end of the installation of the heat and AC products at the barn. We would usually wrap up installation, by advising the customer on the steps to take to maintain the function of the air quality system. Duct cleaning after every 3 to 4 years would ensure no dust in the air ducts. I also illustrated how to remove the washable filters clean and reinstall them. Clean air filters promote indoor air quality which I understood helped with the customer’s respiratory systems. After work, we met up for dinner and I got to know her better. After a few months, we officially started dating.

When the pandemic hit, I decided to move away from the city to the countryside. It worked out for me when my boss allowed for remote working. I found a very affordable barn but I had to do some renovations and turn it into a habitable place. It was a big space and the plans I had for the renovations would work well. As the renovations were ongoing, I realized that the pollen around me would make my allergies flare. So I had to come up with a lasting solution. The HVAC professionals from the local business recommended I install an air purification system that would significantly improve the indoor air quality in my new home. This would help in maintaining my respiratory health. I hired a few installers to handle the installation of the air purifier. I got the vented unit and requested the technicians to conceal the ductwork before proceeding with the duct sealing process. This unit was a lot more affordable than the other ductless heat and AC products like the heat pump I also purchased for my barn. However, it was worth it as I can use it during the cold season as well. After the experts were done with the installation process, they sat me down and advised me on effective ways used to maintain the air quality system. Scheduling duct cleaning after every 3 to 4 years is important in maintaining clean and dust-free air ducts. This process can only be done by HVAC experts. The only thing I could do on my own was to clean the washable filters and replace them plus change the thermostat batteries. Clean air filters promote the proper function of the system and increase the quality of air.

The annual heat and AC product conference is always a big deal for all the HVAC local businesses.

A lot of HVAC professionals from all over the world attend the conference that is organized with different agendas in mind.

This year’s agenda was largely influenced by the pandemic that started two years ago. I was among the selected organizers of the event this year. The organizing process was torturous but in the end, everything worked out. The main agenda included how air purification systems can help to protect you against the Covid-19 virus. Different professionals would present different topics around the main topic. We had our head technician present the duct sealing process and how well-installed ductwork can help preserve the indoor air quality and comfort. We also had one of the brand owners inform the attendants on the new air quality systems and what to expect from the way they function. It was such a hot day and fortunately, the heat pump kept all of us in the conference hall cool and comfortable. There was a thermostat mounted on the wall near the door that read 72 degrees, which was perfect. The maintenance of an air purifier is the most essential process in my opinion. We had one of the top HVAC repairs in the country do a well-detailed presentation on the processes and benefits of maintaining the system. Duct cleaning every three to five years is essential for the proper running of the system. The air ducts, however, are cleaned more frequently, every 3 to 6 months. Customers can get washable filters that are more affordable. Clean air filters would be emphasized at the conference.

All through middle and high school, I had this friend that I would always hang out with.

We were inseparable, we did everything together, played, studied, had sleepovers, and also kept each other’s secrets. We shared a lot of memories and that is why it was so hard seeing her leave the state. We cried so much but we promised to keep in touch. However, when life happens, things change. We drifted apart since she was miles away and eventually lost touch. I had started an HVAC local business dealing with all types of heat and AC products. On Friday, we received a request from a customer who needed his air purifier checked as it was acting up. I collected my team together with our work tools and headed to the job site as usual. When we got there, the owner had left for an errand and she had left the nanny. We headed to the attic to inspect the ductwork and redo any undone duct sealing. We then proceeded to the duct cleaning process which included vacuuming the air ducts and cleaning the washable filters. Just as we were finishing cleaning the air filters, the homeowner returned. I was stunned when I saw her, we screamed as we ran to each other for a hug. It was such a precious and teary reunion. She requested an upgrade of the thermostat meant for the heat pump. She had gotten the air purification a week after returning to the state but the air quality system started acting up a month in. She was happy about the improved indoor air quality. We met up for lunch the next day and talked our way through the hour.
