We are considering buying a heat pump/furnace for my home in North Texas.

installing a mini split without drilling holes into my wall

Anyone have experience with putting the cables through a window or deck door? Hi, my condo won't let me drill through the will to feed the cables for a mini split. I'm examining my options, and am considering putting the cables through the deck door, and sealing the gap with tape and cardboard. Would this still be effective? Thanks!. Question from user godstriker8 at hvacadvice at reddit. Answer: Would this still be effective? Hard to tell without photos, but it sounds like a disaster in the making. Why not just use window units?

how to deal with mold in our hvac unit

We called out an HVAC guy to service the unit before summer comes around. We just wanted to make sure the coils were cleaned and everything was working good. But then when he went into the unit he told us there was mold in there. Or rather, microbial particles because he couldn't legally say it was mold. I want to preface this by saying that my dad and I aren't very knowledgeable with HVAC systems. we know basic things and basic maintenance but I'm posting today for advice. and i'm hoping to get off-the-record advice � preferably no busines . . .

Motivational Segmentation

The other day I wrote an ebook about motivational segmentation. It wasn't called that, because, seriously, who would choose to read something with that title.

I would submit that learning and leveraging motivational segmentation is for anyone who is selling anything. In other words, it's for everyone.

why does my pool heater smell like gas?

Pool heaters offer warm, comfortable swimming and relaxation throughout the year. Almost every pool heating system runs off of a gas line, other than those that take advantage of the sun’s heat. If you have a pool heater on your equipment pad, it’s time to find out why it smells like gas. Your pool heater smells like gas because it’s leaking from one of the galvanized unions or couplings.
