Heating and Air Conditioning Repairs, Read This For a Start

February 24th, 2012

Based on your ability to bring up this page on a website and that your looking at it now you probably know how to read and aren’t just staring at the pretty pictures. Truth be told, I think reading needs to be a prerequisite for any job that requires technical know how. Without the ability to read you would not know to, “Unplug power cord from socket before licking copper cable.”

For some really helpful advice from an unbiased HVAC tech visit this link…pretty awesome real advice

Many of us routinely throw instructions immediately into the trash once we open up a new item but as a professional sometimes it is important to read some of this stuff before installing something new in a customers home. I watched a heating and air conditioning tech just yesterday read some instructions, it said, “place tobacco in middle of rolling paper, roll, then wet ends to stick”.

All this being said I believe YOU and most heating and AC technicians do in fact know how to read. If techs know how to read why is it so difficult for them to make the smart choice and actually pick up and feel the directions, even if they don’t even read them?

I believe this whole thing about not reading directions is a macho man thing. I don’t like wearing pastel colors but for my wife I will sometimes wear these colors for Easter for a nice family picture.

It might just be that direction pages seem somewhat intimidating because the booklet can be 50 pages long or more. In reality when you actually get past all the safety pages, warnings, and multiple language translations you may only have a couple paragraphs to read.

I have had a heater installed in my house that was a new type of device the heating technician had never installed before. He got it installed in record time but a funny thing happened. The flex ducts connected to it were all bent at a 90 degree angle cutting off any ability to actually circulate air. There was also a weird smell in the air like what you smell when their is a natural gas leak.

Funny thing, there was a natural gas leak coming from the newly installed heating system, a trickle of air heating my room, directions in the trash and no heating tech in site.

When it comes to picking a professional heating and air conditioning company to install or repair your HVAC system make sure that if they start scratching their head about something they eventually pick up an instruction manual.

Why wait for their supervisor to come out and tell them to read the instructions if you might be able to encourage them to do that yourself.

You could also hire a professional quality HVAC company in Tyler Texas that has competent staff available that know to stay updated on new technology and read instructions as necessary.

Cut Your Own Christmas Tree Farms in Tyler

November 29th, 2011

“You go cut your Christmas tree!” “No you go cut it!” “No You!” “No You!” …”you!”…”you!”

This is not the conversation you will have at Plantation Pines Christmas Tree Farm but if you really want to cut down your own tree they have many standing available for you to do so.

I think cutting down your own tree is a great family tradition and if you don’t have severe allergies to Christmas trees like I do you should give it a try.

Many of us for different reasons prefer to not cut down our own tree but still like the idea of coming out to a neat family farm that grows Christmas trees and stretching our legs.

The Wiggins family owns this farm and are a nice family that really brings a good old family Christmas spirit to their farm whether it be by their friendly smiles and conversations, the dog that lays out on the porch, the rustic little cabin that has complimentary hot apple cider and cocoa available, the nifty Christmas nick knacks in the the cabin for sale, or the lines of Christmas trees throughout the farm to walk through.

There is a little playground area for kids, a hay ride, and different machines to pack away your Christmas tree in your car without making a big mess of needles everywhere.

You can also buy a stand for your live Christmas tree at an affordable price as they have everything you need. Unfortunately when we go I will have to go with one of their select few imported  Douglas fur Christmas trees because I am allergic to the native Christmas trees available to be cut down by you or them.

If you haven’t tried the fun of a Christmas tree farm you really should give it a try. We have included a map to the Wiggins farm known as Plantation Pines below.
