I’ve added ceiling fans in many of the rooms, using them to create a cooling effect in the summer and to distribute the heat more evenly in the winter

Living in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, means dealing with every weather extreme. The average annual temperature fluctuates from eighteen to eighty-nine degrees Fahrenheit. The winters bring brutal wind chill, snow and concerns with overly dry heat. The summers are a challenge because of excessive humidity and thunderstorms. While I enjoy the diversity of four separate seasons, I don’t like spending money on high utility bills. I am always searching for opportunities to prevent energy waste, improve efficiency and trim costs. Fortunately, I’ve found a very reputable HVAC company in Lee’s Summit that provides a variety of helpful services. I hired them to upgrade the level of insulation in the walls and ceilings, complete effective duct sealing and install a smart thermostat. I’ve enrolled in their maintenance program that includes upkeep for the air conditioner in the spring and for the furnace in the fall. The technician inspects all components, cleans and makes any necessary adjustments or repairs. I make sure to regularly replace the air filters in the heating and cooling units. Every year, I inspect the exterior and interior of the house and fill in any gaps with caulk or weatherstripping. I’ve gradually replaced all the windows, investing into Energy Star rated improvements. I’ve added ceiling fans in many of the rooms, using them to create a cooling effect in the summer and to distribute the heat more evenly in the winter. Despite all my efforts, the cost of heating and cooling adds up to about half of our household energy consumption. I am considering a much larger investment into a new, more efficient furnace and air conditioner.

When I first moved to Birmingham, Alabama, I didn’t realize how dependent I’d be on both heating and cooling.

• I expected warm weather but not temperatures in the nineties as well as the thirties.

The humid subtropical climate creates hot and muggy summers and chilly winters. We get frequent thunderstorms and an average annual rainfall of 56 inches. Now and then, Birmingham even gets a bit of snow. My house is outfitted with a furnace and air conditioner that utilize ductwork to transport the heated and cooled air. I have been very conscientious about replacing air filters and scheduling professional maintenance for the heating and cooling units. For several years, I totally neglected the ductwork. Because the network of pipes is hidden behind walls and ceilings, I never gave it a thought. However, the air I pay for and that my family breathes passes through those pipes multiple times per day. I only became aware of the importance of the ducts after calling for air conditioner repairs. I had complaints with high energy bills, inconsistent indoor temperature and a great deal of dust floating around. The air conditioner seemed to be running non stop and yet the house felt slightly overheated and sticky. The technician inspected the system and discovered small holes in the duct system as well as gaps at the connections. Fortunately, the duct sealing solution was not overly invasive. The technician used a process called Aeroseal that targets the flaws from the inside. Highly pressurized air laced with polymer particles is pumped into the ductwork. As the air escapes through the imperfections, the particles cling to the edges, adhere together and form a tight seal.

I live in South Bend, Indiana, where it’s necessary to rely on the heating system for approximately eight months per year.

• Temperatures regularly drop into the teens or even the negative readings.

We are not surprised when it starts to snow sometime in September, and the snow often linters until mid May. We accumulate more than five feet of snow per year, which is considerably higher than the national average. Shoveling snow is a horrible, labor-intensive and time-consuming job. It’s not pleasant to spend any amount of time outdoors when a freezing cold wind is blowing. Shoveling out the driveway, walkways and mailbox can take several hours, and it’s a job that never ends. It can be necessary to clear the pathways multiple times per day. There is also the concern of where to pile all that snow. The mounds grow so big that they take up parking space and obstruct the garage entrance. When I finally had enough of the job, I had a snowmelt system installed. My home in South Bend is heated by a boiler and radiant flooring throughout. The boiler heats up water and sends it through a series of pipes concealed beneath the floor. The heat from the pipes spreads across the surface of the floor, rises gradually and creates a very even and gentle comfort. I now have a network of pipes installed under a fresh concrete driveway and walkways. A sensor detects temperature drop and moisture, signals the boiler and hot water is delivered through those pipes. The heat melts away snow and ice and eliminates the need for shoveling. My driveway and walkways are always perfectly clear. I have no worries over slipping and falling on icy pavement. I don’t need to get up extra early to shovel before work.

There are lots of places around Jacksonville, Florida that have heating and AC supplies.

I can buy air conditioners and space heaters at the flea market, hardware store, superstore, and I can even have them delivered the next day using amazon. Some things in Jacksonville can’t even be delivered the same day if you get the order made early enough during the day. It’s crazy to think how quickly things can be delivered these days. I was searching for an AC unit and I knew that I wasn’t going to be able to buy the machine online. I wasn’t going to be able to install the AC unit on my own. I looked at a couple of videos and some handy people perform the installation on their own, but I knew it was too technical for me. I called a couple of different Jacksonville, Florida AC repair and installation businesses. I found someone who offered to give me a free in-home consultation on a new AC unit. The AC repair business in Jacksonville had really good reviews online, so I decided to give them a try. I bought a really nice AC unit from the Jacksonville dealership and it comes with a two-year maintenance warranty. The dealership will service the AC unit every 6 months for 2 years and the warranty also comes with two years of problem-free worry. If anything goes wrong with the system, the Jacksonville dealership will take care of it for no charge. I feel pretty good about the purchase and the ductless unit looks great.

Jacksonville, Florida is a very interesting city.

It is one of the only places in the world where the river actually flows north.

There is a lake down by Orlando and the river originates there. The river flows north into Jacksonville and fills the entire county with its water supply. The St. Johns River is one of the largest waterways in jacksonville. There are constantly voters in the water for commercial leisure fishing. The river practically splits Jacksonville and Duval County into two separate parts. The west side of the city is west of 295 and the east side of the city is east of the 295 merger. I work for a repair business that is located in North Jacksonville. We service all of the city including the beaches, mandarin, and the West side. I was at a place down by the beach working on a ductless HVAC repair. I was close to the river and there was a beautiful view. I had a view of the beach and the river at the same time. The owner of the house had the windows open since the ductless HVAC system was not working. I could smell salt and fish in the air. When I was finished with the HVAC repair, all I could do was think about fishing. When I was done with work that day, I decided to go to the river for a couple of hours. I didn’t catch anything, but I spent the afternoon there. The following weekend I decided to go to big Talbot Island to go fishing.
