My sister takes on anything

My sister is the kind of person who is always taking on new projects and trying to improve her life.

  • Sometimes I think she is crazy for the things that she takes on.

She wanted to go all ductless with her heating and air conditioning to save money on her energy bills. This happens to be a pretty expensive decision. Although it will pay itself off through time through the savings, it still is an investment up front. However, that savings was not enough for my sister. She wanted to save some money on it, so she did some research. My sister decided to save a few bucks once she bought the ductless mini split a/cs by converting to ductless heating and air conditioning all by herself. Normally, you would have to call a heating and cooling corporation and have them send out a certified heat and air conditioning specialist to do this. A service like this would cost a few hundred dollars, and that was just for one ductless mini split. My sister bought 5. Even though my sister knew she was taking a risk in doing the conversion herself, she sincerely did not have the money to hire the heating and air conditioning specialist on top of the purchase of 5 ductless mini split a/cs. She had already spent a small fortune. She spent a few weeks collecting information about how the conversion happens. It was kind of complicated, but she understood it well enough because a friend with some HVAC knowledge helped her through it. To my surprise, my sister completed the conversion and was all set up with her ductless mini split units without the help of any HVAC technicians.

Taking on a home project

In an effort to save money on utility bills, I decided to go all ductless with my heating plus a/c.

While this was a decision that would wind up saving me money in the long run, the up front costs were quite expensive.

Not only would I have to pay for each of the ductless mini split units that I purchased for my home, but I would also need to convert them. This is something that you’d typically hire an HVAC professional to do, but I had just spent a small fortune on these ductless mini split units. I figured, hey I’m a handy guy, why not give it a try? If there’s a chance that I can save a few hundred dollars, then I am going to do it. Not to mention, my father worked in the HVAC business when I was growing up. He used to show me all kinds of little ways to tinker with heating and cooling systems. I never really went on to apply that knowledge in my career or life, but I still remembered the basics and the terminology that came along with HVAC units. I turned to the internet and did some research to get the information about how the conversion happens. It was kind of complicated, but thanks to everything my dad taught me, I was able to understand it well enough. I also found some helpful video tutorials that coached me through the process. At the end of the day, I successfully converted my ductless mini split cooling units. I am so glad I bet on myself instead of forking over even more money to some HVAC company.

Husband installed our new AC

My husband and I wanted to go all ductless with our heating, ventilation, & A/C to save money on our yearly energy bills, and this is a really pricey thing to do.

Although it will save money in the long run, it still is an investment up front.

We wanted to save some money on it, so my husband did some research. As a way to save a few bucks once we obtained the ductless mini split cooling systems that needed to be converted to ductless heating, ventilation, & A/C, my husband decided he would do the conversion himself. In most cases, you would have to call a heating & cooling supplier & have them send out a certified heat & cooling system specialist to do this, which would be another large expense. Not to mention that we had 4 ductless mini split cooling systems that needed to be converted. I knew we were taking a chance with my husband trying to do this himself, but what other option did we have? We really did not have the money to hire the heating, ventilation, & A/C specialist on top of the purchase of 4 ductless mini split cooling systems, which cost a small fortune as it was. My husband conducted some research about the conversion process. He has a little bit of prior knowledge when it comes to heating and cooling, as one of his oldest friends is an HVAC technician. We would have asked for his assistance, but he moved out of the state a few years ago. In the end, my husband was able to convert our ductless mini split cooling systems all by himself without the need to hire the heating & cooling professionals.

Converting my AC all by myself

I wanted to go all ductless with my heating and a/c to reduce spending on my energy bills, however it turned out to be quite an expensive endeavor.

Although the savings in the energy usage overtime will pay for itself over time, it still is an investment up front… I wanted to cut costs where I could, so I did some research.

The best way to save a few bucks once I purchased the ductless mini split systems would be to convert all of the ductless HVAC systems on my own. Usually, you would have to call a heating and cooling contractor and have them send out a certified heat and a/c specialist to do this, which would be quite costly. The price really racked up, especially if you had more than one ductless mini split that needed to be converted. I knew that it was risky to take this project on, but I felt like I couldn’t justify spending any more money for a service. I really did not have the funds to hire the heating and a/c specialist on top of the purchase of 3 ductless mini splits. That alone was a large expense. After researching, I got the information about how the conversion happens. It was kind of complicated, however, I luckily understood it because I already knew the basics of heating and cooling. My uncle worked as an HVAC technician when I was growing up, so I was able to learn a few things from him. Ultimately, I was able to convert my ductless mini splits all by myself without the need to hire the heating and cooling professionals.

I did it by myself

I wanted to go all ductless with my heating and air conditioning to save money on my monthly energy bills.

And this is a very pricey thing to do.

Although it will pay itself off through time through the savings, it still is an investment up front. I wanted to save some money on it, so I did some research. The way to save a few bucks was once I bought the ductless mini split air conditioning systems that needed to be converted to ductless heating and air conditioning, I would do the conversion myself. Regularly you would have to call a heating and cooling company and have them send out a certified heat and a/c specialist to do this which would run quite a bit of cash. Especially if you had more than one ductless mini split that needed to be converted. I knew I was taking a chance trying to do this myself, but what else would I really do? I honestly did not have the money to hire the heating and air conditioning specialist on top of the purchase of 3 ductless mini split air conditioning systems which cost a small fortune as it was. So after researching I got the information about how the conversion happens. It was kind of complicated but lucky for me, I understood it because I had a friend who was a heat and a/c specialist who taught me some things. So I was able to convert my ductless mini split air conditioning systems all by myself without the need to hire the heating and cooling professionals.

air conditioning maintenance

The heat has been way too much

Lately, the weather has been so hot and humid that my central air conditioning unit has been pushed to its limit.

The last few days, the air conditioning has been running non stop from day till the late evening.

It’s not until the sun goes down that we are able to turn the air conditioning off for a few minutes. Outside of those short breaks, the air conditioner was going non stop. I’ve been prepared to combat the heat in a number of ways. Just a few weeks ago, I had a routine service appointment for my air conditioning system. One of the HVAC technicians from a local heating and cooling company made sure that everything was running smoothly. In addition, I also had a smart thermostat installed. The central air conditioning would shut off in the late evening thanks to the smart control unit. If I had a regular control unit, it truly would have just kept running all hours of the day and night. That would have been way worse than what was going on here, so having the smart control unit turned out to be a worthwhile investment. This is especially true because this heat is unrelenting. The weather forecast is calling for several more weeks of record setting heat and high humidity. It’s a blessing that we have such amazing heating and cooling technology. I don’t know what I would do without my air conditioning and my smart thermostat powering me through this heatwave.

Dealing with unusually hot weather

Typically, the summers in my hometown are warm, but it doesn’t get too hot.

We can usually manage just fine throughout the summer season. However, we are in the middle of a heatwave that has swept over the town. I am just grateful that my roommates and I have a smart thermostat. It has been so hot that we seem to just leave the air conditioning running at all times. Because we have a smart thermostat, we are able to give the air conditioning breaks and optimize the energy usage. Once we are all asleep, the smart thermostat turns the air conditioning off for a few hours. By the time we wake up, the air conditioning is back up and running, and we are met with a cool home. If it weren’t for the smart thermostat, we would be running our air conditioning all hours of the day and night. It looks like things are going to be this way for a while. We are expecting lots of heat for at least the next week or so. But it is ok because our central heating & a/c method is fully ready for it with our great smart thermostat. I just had our central heating & a/c method tuned up & worked on by our local Heating & A/C business’s top heat & air conditioner specialist. I am so glad that my roommates and I have the technology and preparation needed to survive this horrible heat!

Dealing with the heat

Recently, my husband and I upgraded to a smart thermostat. It turned out to be just in time for a horrible heatwave that hit our city. Lately it has been so warm here that our central heating as well as A/C system idea was running non stop from morning till the late evening hours,when we could finally give the AC a rest! The air conditioning system was going non stop for most of the day, but because of our brand new smart thermostat, we were able to optimize the moments where we could give the AC a break. The A/C system would shut off in the late evening thanks to the smart thermostat. If we had a regular thermostat, it would have just kept running constantly because we would be asleep and unable to turn it off. That would have been way worse than what was going on here. So having the smart thermostat came in great use in times like this. It looks like things are going to be this way for a while, as this heatwave is expected to last almost two weeks. But it is ok because our central heating as well as A/C system is fully ready for it with our great smart thermostat. I just had our central heating as well as A/C system tuned up by our local HVAC company. I’m glad we are prepared to combat this terrible heatwave we are experiencing. I thank god for modern Heating as well as A/C technology and smart thermostats that are keeping us cool in the most energy efficient way possible.

Trying to counter the heatwave

Lately, there has been such a crazy heatwave that our central heating plus a/c plan was running non stop from afternoon till the late night, when it was finally able to take a break for a little… The a/c was going non stop all hours of the day.

The one thing that helped a little was our smart control unit, which helped us save on energy costs where we could.

The central heating plus a/c plan would shut off in the late night thanks to the smart control unit. Otherwise, we really would have had the air conditioning running 100% of the time. That would have been way worse than what was going on here; So having the smart control component I have came in great use in times like this. It looks like things are going to be this way for a while. The weather forecast is calling for lots of heat for at least the next few weeks. Thanks to our smart control unit, we are equipped to handle the heatwave as much as we can. Luckily, we just had our central heating plus a/c plan tuned up by an HVAC technician. I thank god for current Heating, Ventilation & A/C technology, and smart control units. We have everything lined up to combat this heatwave in the best way we can.

From morning till night

Lately it has been so hot here that my central heating and air conditioning system was running non stop from morning till the late night hours when it was finally able to take a break for a little.

The air conditioning was going non stop all of the other times. It is a good thing that I have a smart thermostat. Because that made it not so bad in terms of the energy use that was going on. The central heating and air conditioning system would shut off in the late night thanks to the smart thermostat. If I had a regular thermostat it probably would have just kept running twenty four hours a day and seven days per week. That would have been way worse than what was going on here. So having the smart thermostat I have came in good use in times like this. It looks like things are going to be this way for a while. We are expecting lots of heat for the next week at least or maybe more. But it is ok because my central heating and air conditioning system is fully ready for it with my great smart thermostat. I just had my central heating and air conditioning system tuned up and checked up on by our local HVAC company’s top heat and a/c specialist. So we are all good to go to fight this awful heatwave we are experiencing. I thank god for modern HVAC technology, smart thermostats and the great air conditioning that we have today.
