Ended up with a cracked heat exchanger

For a long time, I neglected my boiler simply because I didn’t want to call for service. Then it turned into me not calling for a repair. I figured that the problem would work itself out. In hindsight, that is dumb. No repair magically fixes itself. It started with me missing repair and my boiler

Trying to deal with an AC repair and a screaming baby

My husband is the handy one out of the two of us. If something goes wrong in the house I simply let him know and he takes care of that. In exchange I keep the house cleaned, the laundry done, and make all the meals. Well, my husband has to travel for work a bunch.

Hoping we can do our Chicago AC repair ourselves

Hoping we can do our Chicago AC repair ourselves

My boyfriend and I rent a small house in Chicago, IL. For years we had been trying to buy the place from our landlord. We desperately wanted to make the house ours. The guy is unwilling to sell. I get it. He makes a mint renting out in Chicago, IL. We pay top dollar for

What an interesting time this has been

What an interesting time this has been

This week has really been an interesting one. As somebody who would used to working from home, I really overestimated how well I was prepared to only work remotely. In a normal week, I have two remote work mornings. I appreciate taking these extra mornings to get more of my job accomplished from the peace

The A/C service turned out to be a loose linked to the HVAC duct

The A/C service turned out to be a loose linked to the HVAC duct

Anytime my A/C operated it made a rattling sound. It was a definitely weird rumbling that I just didn’t like. It was hard to sleep at night as well as my home was sort of hot. I knew there was a service on my hands but I didn’t want to spend the cash. I also

That foul smell was mold on my cooling coil

That foul smell was mold on my cooling coil

For a while I was dealing with a smelly air conditioner. It had a wet, musty smell every time it operated. Since the A/C doesn’t get a lot of action in Chicago, IL, I thought it wasn’t a sizable deal. It ran, was giving me great biweekly bills, as well as would reliably turn on.

The foul smell turned out to be a minor boiler repair

The foul smell turned out to be a minor boiler repair

I am aware that any foul smells in the apartment have to be eradicated immediately. I am on it when it comes to vacuuming, mopping, scrubbing, and spraying Febreze in my household. I invested in an air cleaner that installs right into my air duct to remove any mold, mildew, and smelly smells wafting around.

Warm areas should get heat pumps

Warm areas should get heat pumps

My section basically requires A/C 90% of the time; There are around 6 weeks that get pretty freezing to where a boiler would be nice. The heating system doesn’t easily do much or have substantial demands placed on it, and well once my fireplace quit I started looking at unusual options, and I found that

Odd noise coming from my heating system

Odd noise coming from my heating system

My heating system for a legitimately long time was making a strange noise when it turned on, then it was a loud, grinding sound that was super aggravating. Anytime I tried to sleep, I swear that the boiler would fire up and keep me awake all evening long, and eventually I started googling what to

Skipping boiler repair was a mistake

Skipping boiler repair was a mistake

Most people suppose that because I live in Terrell, TX the weather doesn’t get that cold, and they are wrong! We do get below-chilly uneven temperatures and experience snow. A boiler is necessary… I own a gas boiler to combat the chilly season. It is a vital piece of device for us Texans. I make

Window A/C wasn’t powerful enough for a Palm Bay summer

Window A/C wasn’t powerful enough for a Palm Bay summer

I purchased a home in Palm Bay, Florida that was really abandoned mid construction project. There was an addition put on the home that was never finished. No insulation, no respected flooring, and it wasn’t right for the house. There also was only a window air conditioner unit in that didion. I decided to make

Called for a Terrell boiler repair due to loud sounds

I now can relax in the evening and not listen to my boiler make a loud concert all evening long I am an entirely light sleeper. I do everything I can to make my family room as comfortable as possible. I invested in gel pillows and bamboo sheets. I bought a fine mattress and a

Landlord refuses to replace Heating, Ventilation & A/C

I even tried to file a complaint with the renters union, however my pleas for sufficient temperature control went unheard I’ve lived in some pretty crappy apartments before out of necessity, and the conditions don’t typically get me down too much because I’m aware that I’m paying little and receiving little!
