Updating HVAC equipment in guest house
When we bought this house, I was sure that it was too much house. And after all the renovations that we just went through, I’m now completely sure that it’s too much house. But the fact is that my wife has wanted a place like this for a long time. And she put up with […]

Keep tabs on the thermostat this Summer
We are definitely riding out the last of the great weather right about now. From October into May, we enjoy some really lovely weather in these parts.

Slept better with heating maintenance
I love the fact that the gas furnace hasn’t kicked on in like four consecutive days. At least I don’t think it has. I sleep pretty sound so the gas furnace may have popped on for a bit during the wee hours of the morning. The lows have been in the upper 40’s which is […]

Reached out with Heating help
Sure, I’ll be neighborly in wanting to lend a hand to anyone who needs it. Being a homeowner is better than I thought it would be. For sure, I care about the fact that I’m no longer living in rented locales. For more than a decade, I had to share walls with people who weren’t […]
