Spring HVAC Checkup

Spring HVAC Checkup

 

We always recommend an annual service contract for HVAC equipment. This is the 25th year of using Tuckers Air Conditioning, Heating and Plumbing for our home. Our spring checkup took place on Monday. Sadly, we have some problems with our air conditioning equipment for our second floor and have decided to replace it. That work will take place on Friday.

Subhash Sharma This Iris comes from a genus of 260 –300 species of flowering plants with showy flowers. It takes its name from the Greek word for a rainbow, which is also the name for the Greek goddess of the rainbow, Iris. Some authors state that the name refers to the wide variety of flower colours found among the many species. As well as being the scientific name, Iris is also widely used as a common name for all Iris species, as well as some belonging to other closely related genera. A common name for some species is 'Flags', while the plants of the subgenus Scorpiris are widely known as 'Junos', particularly in horticulture. It is a popular garden flower. 

Mr. Sharma is a Facebook friend in Ireland. He frequently comments on my photographs.

Good morning Roy Kelley .  Here in Florida, we have an extended use of our AC to aoub 3/4 of the year.  If you consider the AC is also our hear providor, we use on a few occaisions in the winter.  Maitenance is a money saver over the long run.  And our electric bills are much less with maintaining.

This is very important to do and in my area, our HVAC units put in double time during the summer months.

Happy to hear that your HVAC troubles have been taken care of, Roy Kelley ... and you'll experience more comfortable days ahead.

We have iris all over our back and side yards ... heirloom plants that came from my wife's grampa's farm.  They are treasured and traveled with us each time we moved.  You can take the girl off the farm, but you can't take the farm out of the girl.

Absolutely beautiful, as usual, Roy ... thank you for sharing ...
