While southern and central Arizona residents may not see the frigid cold common to New York right now, northern Arizonas cities boast low digits, necessitating properly-functioning heating equipment. HVAC Education urged Arizona homeowners to prepare for winter heat shortages. This encouragement came on the heels of the January 7th New York Times article, entitled For Some Tenants, Only Thing Heating Up is a Temper. The article identified a New York apartment building suffering from severe heating shortagesshortages that are not being addressed by the apartment manager. Fortunately, homeowners have greater control over heating issues than renters, and can ensure that heating components are in peak condition before facing winter storms.
John Lelands article revealed the poor living conditions suffered by some New York residents who are forced to live without heat. Each of the residents, members of a single apartment building, has undergone severe heating shortages that have not yet been addressed by the building owner. Tenants suffering from illnesses are further aggravated by the cold, and do not see an end to their pain in sight.
While many apartment residents are at the mercy of their landlords, HVACED.com believes that Arizona homeowners should take care to have their heating systems inspected by professionals with the proper HVAC education and training requirements in Arizona. A professional can identify any problems present in a heating system, HVAC Education explains, as well as locating any potentially problematic issues. HVAC Education recommends that a once-yearly inspection be used to maintain a well-functioning machine, as well as prevent the development of new issues. HVAC Education has found that the service typically boasts a small price tagparticularly in comparison to the replacement of an entire unit. HVAC ED adds that in addition, this service is typically short in duration and can be the difference between a warm winter and a frigid one.
John Leland is a staff writer for the New York Times. His work focuses on local news, ranging from entertainment news to opinion pieces.
Following the identification of one New York apartment buildings failure to adequately provide for tenants, HVAC Education urged homeowners to take adequate care of their heating and cooling equipment to avoid similar issues. Many heating concerns can readily be alleviated by a yearly maintenance appointment, designed to repair any small issues with equipment and prevent the further development of any large equipment troubles. These check-ups can be performed by any HVAC professional. Check with local HVAC companies to determine the best fit.

HVAC Education Urged Arizona Homeowners to Prepare for Winter Heat Shortages
Dear Annie: My brother, "William," recently passed away in his sleep. His passing came as a shock to everyone. He wasn't ill or showing any indication that something was wrong. We suspect it was a heart attack.
However, the real tragedy of his passing is that William and his two children had been estranged for more than 19 years. When I called his son and daughter to inform them of their father's passing, I could tell that they certainly felt the loss, and they also understood that any opportunity for reconciliation was now lost forever. All the years of anger and resentment suddenly appeared senseless.
I do not know the reasons for the estrangement, but I can place blame on William, as well as his children, because all of them were adamant that they were "right" about the way they felt. I had discussions with my brother, but he was never ready to open up communication with his kids. I also met with my niece in the hope of persuading her to phone her father and try to talk things out. She didn't. And her brother declined to talk to me about it.
Whatever wounds they had incurred had not healed, and there was no change of heart. With their father's passing, they will now have to cope with their inaction for the rest of their lives.
Please pass my letter along to your readers. Life is too short to harbor ill feelings and resentment, especially with loved ones. God gave us the blessing of children. Parents and children should not toss this blessing aside for what turns out to be in hindsight some perceived slight or miscommunication.
Mourning My Brother
Dear Mourning: Our sincere condolences for the loss of your brother. We hope your letter serves as a heartbreaking warning. People often think they have limitless time to fix relationships, but you never know what will happen. If someone is important to you, work it out. Talk it through. Get an unbiased third party to mediate if necessary, but don't let it fester until it's too late.
Dear Annie: I am a heating and cooling professional. In the past month, I have gone into many homes to repair their furnaces. Several times, the only problem I found was faulty batteries in their digital thermostats.
Please inform your readers that spending five dollars and replacing their thermostat batteries could save them an $80-$100 service call from their heating contractor. They should change these batteries every year. Perhaps next fall, when they are thinking about Thanksgiving or buying holiday gifts, they could pick up some extra batteries as a gift to themselves.

Life is too short to harbor resentment
By Johnny Tubbs / Energy saving columnist
You rely on your homes HVAC system throughout the year, and regular maintenance is essential to keep it running smoothly and guarantee your comfort. If youre debating whether a preventive maintenance agreement is worth the investment, consider the following benefits:
Save money on both annual upkeep and necessary repairs The cost of a maintenance agreement is often comparable to paying for just two seasonal HVAC tuneups. When you factor in the repair discount thats part of an annual contract, youll come out ahead.]]>
Enjoy priority service Does it seem that whenever your HVAC system needs repair, theres a long line of customers ahead of you? Thats because breakdowns typically occur when homeowners first start up their systems for the season. When you have a preventive maintenance agreement, youre put at the head of the line, so youre not left out in the cold, or the heat and humidity.]]>
Extend the life of your HVAC system Your homes heating and cooling is a mechanical system that needs regular maintenance to reach its true useful life span. Given the high cost of replacement, it just makes sense to maintain your current system to the best of your ability.]]>
Experience fewer breakdowns and need fewer expensive repairs During routine maintenance visits, your HVAC technician can spot and correct small issues, subsequently preventing them from escalating into larger, most costly repairs.]]>
Lower monthly utility bills Well-maintained HVAC equipment is more efficient, and therefore it uses less electricity. Since your system runs continuously throughout many months of the year, even small adjustments and improvements in its operation can have a big impact on your annual electric expenses.]]>
Maximize your systems cooling and heating capacity Regular maintenance can reverse a systems lost capacity. Instead of dealing with heating or air conditioning that barely puts out enough warm or cool air to keep you comfortable, you can reap the benefits of your HVAC systems full capacity.]]>
For more information on the benefits of a preventive maintenance agreement, contact Conroe Air. We proudly service the heating and cooling needs of homeowners throughout Montgomery County. Visit http://www.conroeair.com or call 1-888-904-3378.

DEAR SOUTH DAKOTA: Thanks for the welcome information. We admit that replacing thermostat batteries did not occur to us, but we will pay more attention in the future, and we hope our readers will, as well.
DEAR ANNIE: "Finally at Peace" said she learned to appreciate those grandchildren who keep in touch and stop mourning the ones who don't. I, too, spent an inordinate amount of time "grieving" the loss of my nieces and nephew after my parents and my husband passed away.

Life is short; don't let rifts go unresolved

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) United Technologies Corp. is expected to post a modest increase in revenue for the fourth quarter and stronger sales growth for 2013, while its emphasis on cost-cutting drives a stronger boost in profit.
The Hartford, Conn., aerospace and building systems conglomerate is set to report its results before the markets open on Wednesday.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR: Chief Executive Officer Louis Chenevert told analysts in December that United Technologies, parent company of jet engine maker Pratt & Whitney, helicopter manufacturer Sikorsky Aircraft and other businesses, picked up the pace of cost-cutting as it anticipated growth in its aerospace and building systems businesses.
It announced in October it would spend $500 million on restructuring in 2013, up from $350 million announced earlier in the year.
"It's clear to me we had a softer recovery than we expected this time last year, but we still delivered on the high end of the original range that we portrayed here a year ago," Chenevert said.
United Technologies said in December 2012 that it expected 2013 earnings per share of between $5.85 and $6.15 on sales of $64 billion to $65 billion. Last month, it said it expects 2013 earnings per share of about $6.15 on sales of about $63 billion.
Sterne Agee analyst Peter Arment said in a Jan. 13 note to investors that aerospace companies in the fourth quarter should continue to benefit from rising airline production and healthier repair and maintenance markets.

TERRE HAUTE The snow may be slowly melting away, but the bills from last weeks mega winter storm continue to pile higher.
Local governments were forced to spend big sums in employee overtime and fuel expenses to attempt to keep roads clear while Wabash Valley residents paid in dozens of other ways, including furnace repairs, unplanned stays in motels and towing fees.
Itll be tens of thousands of dollars for this one, said Terre Haute Mayor Duke Bennett, reflecting on the cost to the City. It was a pretty big storm.
Vigo County also faced big expenses from the storm, said Dan Bennett, superintendent of the county highway department. In addition to fuel and staffing costs, the county is also looking at five or six towing bills after a handful of plows became stuck during the storm, he said.
The overtime for this thing is going to be considerable, Dan Bennett said.
City and county snowplows were running 24 hours a day starting Sunday afternoon through Thursday, meaning lots of overtime pay and fuel expense. Final cost figures were not yet available, the mayor and the highway superintendent said.
Terre Haute sets aside enough money to pay for six big snow events each year, the mayor said. The storm that started a week ago counted for at least two storms, he added.
This is a big one, Mayor Bennett said. I dont think weve had one of these kinds of storms in 20 or 25 years.
Despite the high cost of the storm, Bennett did not believe it would necessarily push the City over its budgeted snow and ice removal budget for 2014. Of course, that will depend on the weather. Weve got plenty of money in [the budget] right now to deal with this, Bennett said. But what else will happen the rest of this winter or next December?
Dan Bennett, highway superintendent, said he plans to meet this week with the County Commissioners to discuss the costs of the storm. Hell look at specific budget numbers after we get out of the woods, he said.

ARCTIC BLAST 2014: Monetary impact from last weekend’s storm good for some, bad for others

Officials at the Community College of Allegheny County have scrambled to relocate science labs and classes as they assessed damage from water pipes that burst in the K. Leroy Irvis Science Center.
The spring term starts on Monday.
Water damaged all five floors of the new $28 million facility when copper pipes in a green heating and cooling system split open sometime during the winter break, which began on Dec. 21. Staffers returned to the campus on Jan. 2 to find extensive water damage in the labs on the west side of the third, fourth and fifth floors of the building located off Ridge Avenue.
Officials still had no estimate of the damage on Friday. Allegheny Campus President Donna Imhoff said that won't be apparent until workers remove drywall and ceiling tiles and repairmen are able to review lab equipment that water permeated.
Right now my priority is students and safety. We're still assessing the damages. Hopefully, we will have it repaired before midterm, Imhoff said, pointing to a panel of copper pipes in a heating and cooling panel that burst above the ceiling in a fifth floor chemical supply room.
Classes will be held in some rooms and labs on the eastern side of the building that escaped damage, Imhoff said.
The Science Center, years in the making, houses modern labs and classrooms for programs in biology, microbiology, anatomy and physiology, chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, geology, astronomy and physical sciences.
Even before the ribbon cutting in March, officials suspected problems with the building when a section of snow and ice accumulated on the eastern side of the roof then fell several stories to the plaza below.
On Nov. 7, CCAC trustees, acting at the recommendation of an independent architect, approved spending $82,000 for an upgrade to an electrical de-icing system for the roof and gutters on the east side of the building. Imhoff could not say whether the work was completed.
