Putting the "Bonus" in Bonus room

Apr 15, 2013 Project Example Minisplit, Mitsubishi, bonus room, comfort, zoning Kevin Frump 8 Comments

Bonus rooms, or my favorite acronymn used to describe them F.R.O.G (Finished Room Over Garage), are a somewhat newer phenomonon, but the concept is ages old: convert what would otherwise be unused and unconditioned space over a garage or other portion of your home into "living" space by insulating, drywalling and adding some kind of HVAC into it.

My Heat Exchanger's Cracked.... Why Should I Care?

Mar 11, 2013 Kevin Frump 2 Comments

As a homeowner, getting the news that your heat exchanger is cracked is a bit of a harsh blow. It's not unlike a doctor telling you about the "C" word. You know it's serious and you know you need to do something about it. Some people choose to live in denial of the seriousness of a cracked heat exchanger.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning is Real and Close to Home.

Feb 28, 2013 News Articles Carbon Monoxide, maintenance, tune-up Kevin Frump

if your furnace or boiler was a car driving at 60 miles an hour, it would drive over 50,000 miles per year. You would definitely have your car checked out at least every 50,000 miles - probably get the tires changes and the oil and filters too. Make the investment in your peace of mind and get your equipment checked out today.

Jan 15, 2013 Kevin Frump 4 Comments
