I Need to Make a Good Dinner Tonight for a Treat

I’m feeling a bit down this week & not sure why although I am going to change our mindset now & switch to a better feeling.

There is no use sulking for no reason so I just need to shift our frame of mind.

Maybe going down to the beach to watch the surfers will jar me out of this funk. Or I could get a few friends together & play a few games of volleyball on the beach near me. Maybe doing something productive love giving our Heating & A/C device a tune up would put me in a better mood. I think in the Winter time the skies can get gray & get you down however you just need to think of all of the things you have & assume grateful for them. I could light some incense & turn on our air cleaner to scrub some of the smoke from the air & learn a great book as the sunshine just popped out. I could pet our little black animal however it almost took our hand off last time I tried because it is still getting used to me & our site. Maybe I’ll turn on the radiant floors as our feet are actually cold & put on some fuzzy wool socks. I need to buy some new pants too because the a singles I’ve been wearing are getting holes in them & looking actually ragged. I think I will turn on our central heating unit & check the filter to make sure it is clean. I think it’s been weeks since doing so.

Investing into a humidifier

It has made such a big improvement in the comfort of our home

Living in the northeastern section of the country means frigid weather for the majority of the year. The Spring & fall seasons are cold, windy & rainy. The Winter conditions are downright brutal. We expect long weeks with hot & cold temperatures below cold & aren’t surprised by sub zero studyings. The wind chill makes it dangerous to spend any length of time outdoors. The snow accumulates in feet & the air becomes especially dry. My beach house is equipped with a forced air gas furnace that is powerful enough to handle the local weather. The furnace sends sizzling air through the HVAC duct that is concealed inside the walls & ceilings, & there are supply & return vents in each room. The only concern with this type of oil furnace is that it makes the problems with overly dry air much worse. Because air that lacks sufficient humidity tends to recognize colder than correctly moisturized air, it can be tempting to turn up the control unit. The furnace is then required to run longer, labor harder & consume more energy. I end up paying higher utility bills & the beach house still feels uncomfortable. The dry air also pulls moisture out of furnishings, such as wood floors, antiques & songsal instruments, causing them to crack. The dry conditions irritate symptoms of dust irritations, asthma, psoriasis & eczema. A lack of humidity can be blamed for static shock, chapped lips, frizzy hair, headaches & difficulty sleeping. After putting up with these problems for multiple years, I finally invested into a whole-house humidifier. It has made such a big improvement in the comfort of our home. It also protects our furnishings & helps with indoor air conditions. The savings on our heating bills contributes to paying for the humidifier.

Thankful for a/c

We’ve had nothing but steady rain for the past few mornings, but despite the nonstop downpour, the heat & humidity have not let up, however i am severely thankful that the two of us finally updated our Heating & A/C system… My wife & I had been procrastinating over upgrading the packaged unit; Although it was outdated & no longer living up to expectations, the two of us were reluctant to make such a big investment! The former unit continued to operate but continually malfunctioned.

It struggled to manage the cold Winter weather, often cold up, & the beach house often felt sticky while in the middle of summer, and we finally decided that it would be better to be proactive than to be left without temperature control at the worst possible time.

Although purchasing & installing a current packaged heating & cooling unit was rather extravagant, the process was quick & easy. The system was up & running in a single afternoon with no mess created. We chose to update the control unit at the same time, & the improvement has been significant. The savings on the weekly utility bills will help to reclaim the cost. The temperature from room to room is far more consistent, & we’ve noticed that there’s less dust & other contaminants floating around. I am just ecstatic that our beach house is perfectly comfortable while the two of us are trapped inside on these rainy mornings. I don’t need to worry about the a/c quitting in the middle of the night, and because of the current control unit, I can make adjustments to temperature, fan speed & all kinds of features through an app on our phone.

Is a Gas Heater More Efficient Than an Electric One?

I’ve been getting some absurd electric bills lately & it is making me wonder if our electric heating system is using too much electricity to heat our flat.

I need to go visit the outdated woman in the store & see what she thinks about it.

She has been an Heating & A/C specialist for longer than I have been alive so I suppose she will have an answer. I bet that she is going to tell me that a gas unit is the way to go because it is much cheaper than an electric 1. I’m not sure how much they cost to change out however I am going to run down to the local business to see if they are open today. Okay, so I just came back from the store & they are not open today because it is Wednesday. I am going to look online at gas oil gas furnaces & compare their energy USAge to the electric heater. I suppose I could get a gas tank installed & even heat the water in our beach house with it too. I have an outdated sizzling water heating system with a rusty tank that could be changed for a current 1. I suppose our water heating system is using a lot of power too because I take sizzling baths after our morning swim each morning & I suppose I am using a lot of power to heat the water. I need to take these baths though because when I get beach house from our swims I am cold & need to heat our body up quickly.
