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.

Ended up with a cracked heat exchanger

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

Looking for a Palm Bay, FL A/C replacement company after my unit died

Unfortunately cooling systems don’t last forever! My home came with a central air conditioner and I loved that machine all the way until it died. When I moved into my home in Palm Bay, I knew it wasn’t going to last long. The unit was already over 15 years old. I made sure to call

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

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

Some people cannot live without air conditioning

Some people cannot live without air conditioning

I know some people who cannot live without air conditioning right inside of their car, then their household must be full of air conditioning as well, and here I am and I do not even have air conditioning at home, but i also do not even use the air conditioning in my car most times.

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

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

Landlord refuses to update HVAC

Landlord refuses to update HVAC

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. I’ve resided in places that didn’t have functioning door locks, where the lights flickered 24/7, and where the water was disputably safe to drink,

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

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

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

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.
