Heating and Air Conditioning

Maybe you’ve seen the rather odd, tall, skinny structures, usually in wide open spaces where high winds move the propeller-like sections. When a group of these wind turbines work to move air- which then turns into energy- they are identified as wind farms. In some locations, such as the Gansu Wind Farm in China or the Alta Wind Energy Center in California, the wind farms produce electrical power for several hundred people within several hundred square miles.

Rising energy prices and more...

While other families make summer plans for vacation and cook-outs, our family worries about Aunt Sally. She refuses to move out of her longtime residence, which is in a rather outdated apartment tower. Elderly people don’t usually embrace change, anyway. But Aunt Sally stubbornly declares that she will never leave. Her friends are there. She’s comfortable in the neighborhood. She likes life exactly as it is- until summer arrives. Aunt Sally’s third floor apartment has no central...

Recently a very exasperated homeowner was venting on a forum about the poor air circulation in his home during the summer and how hot it was, even though the air conditioning was set to run. It was (no surprise) an upstairs room.

We all know that the rooms on an upper level tend to get hot and stay hot during the heat of the summer. This poor man had decided he was just going to turn on the blower fan on his HVAC system to solve the problem. He figured all he had to do was get the air circulating...

Do you know where the hottest place is to find out about all the things people are loving these days? Pinterest. And you know what? People are loving the AirFlow Breeze there!

I am one of those people who collect ideas and let them stew for a while. I actually own one a 3-inch binder full of pictures from magazines and creative ideas for...

Here in central Indiana, it finally happened. Gasoline prices have jumped above $4 per gallon. I know, I know, there are those of you in places like Chicago, Philadelphia and Santa Barbara who have been seeing these prices for sometime. But this is the heartland and, just like trends in fashion and culture tend to be delayed in getting here, so do some of the prices. Sorry, it's just true.

The other thing true about the heartland is that we are always looking for practical and low-cost solutions. ...

All those ladies who accepted sparkling diamond rings in the last few months are all out shopping for that perfect wedding dress. All the emotion and stress that surrounds the planning of a wedding seems to come to a head on these shopping trips. It seems that the perfection of the event hinges on this one particular thing - the dress.

Even though temperatures are starting to rise outside, that's nothing compared with the hot,sweaty, exciting work of trying on gown after gown to find THE ONE....

Yesterday morning, I watched an army of ants try to hoist and carry away the family toaster while I poured my morning coffee. That’s how I knew it was officially spring- ants, at least at our house- equals spring time.

Sticky spots and crumbs on kitchen floors and counters might as well be neon welcome signs for these spring-loving insects.

And, I don't want to pick on them, but teenagers are notorious for lighting up those welcome neon signs! (I have lots of first-hand experience in this area.)

These days, none of us grab the nozzle at the gasoline pump without groaning. In the media, we hear the nasty rumors that gasoline prices might actually soar past $5 a gallon. I don’t know about you, but the only positive thought I have about that possibility is that I will be forced to walk more or straddle my bicycle which will very likely result in some serious weight loss.

Most of us are worrying about soaring gasoline prices. But as we edge toward a warm spring and a hot, humid summer, we’re...

Until last summer, you were in love with your new home and the beautiful cathedral ceilings.

But as the temperature rose outside, you cranked the air and guess what? The kids were still sweating in their upstairs bedrooms and you could practically see your breath on the main floor. For some reason, the cool air refused to do much more than hover above your head and freeze you to death.

Lucky for you, Airflow Technology has a great solution!

Install a Centrifugal In-Line Duct Fan.

All this really warm spring weather has many people already thinking of ways to save on the air conditioning bills this summer. Are you one of them?

If so, personal fans and battery-operated fans may be just what you need to stay cool.

Oklahoma can be miserably hot through the summer so it should come as no surprise that keeping cool is often on the minds of people there. The Tulsa World newspaper suggests using fans with your air conditioning to get through the heat.

Raising the temperature on the...

You took the leap and jumped headfirst into the real estate pond. You've fulfilled a lifelong dream: the purchase of a sprawling, two-story Victorian home. You fell in love with the original hardwood floors, the beautiful windows, a wrap-around porch, birds in the trees and woodwork so gorgeous that it makes you want to weep. Congratulations!

There’s just one something that’s missing - And it’s an important something.

As it turns out, your residential gem has no central air conditioning. But...

Yes, it's been a warm winter most everywhere in the nation. That may mean that this summer is going to be beastly. So NOW is the time to install that attic fan you have wanted because you KNOW that venting the hot air that gets trapped in the attic all summer is a good way to cool the rest of the house.

Think of it this way:

You have a nice, tall, cool glass of iced tea, chock full of ice cubes sitting on the kitchen table. It's hot in the kitchen because there's a cake baking in the oven. You get...

Homes across America haven’t always provided two or more bathrooms for the convenient use of all the people living there. In fact, most of us can remember sharing only one bathroom with two or three people or even more.

In our house, four people needed access to the bathroom all at the same time. Because he was the grumpiest, my Dad got use of the bathroom before anyone else. And I very vividly remember ducking into the bathroom after my Dad rushed out of a hot shower. He left a big whiff of Old...

So the kids are old enough now for you to crawl up in the attic and store the high chair and play pen. However, they are not old enough yet not to want every single toy they own to be displayed all over the living room floor. And by the way, most of those toys also make noise - and they usually want to play with those toys as soon as you want to rest and watch some TV.

It’s time to make that move, the one that will provide the kids with a safe place to play while you get some of your sanity...

Many of us scratch our heads these days when we see the daily newscast. Some areas are being pummeled by snow storms. Some of us are experiencing more rain this winter than we saw last spring. Others walk around in shirt sleeves, wondering if winter forgot this year to crash the party.

According to the Farmer’s Almanac, which has been around since 1792 when George Washington took office as president, winter months of 2012 can best be described as “Clime and punishment.” From the wisdoms of this...
