which pool heater brand is right for you?

If you want to make the most of your outdoor swimming pool, a pool heater is a must. They’re a worthwhile investment for making the most use of your pool while the season allows it, whether you like to make your pool as warm as bath water or just get it up to a comfortable temp for nighttime dips in late spring. Without a heater, mother nature is your thermostat—and even a long day of bright sun isn’t always enough to meaningfully change the temp of your pool.

merv 16 furnace filter question

I have been dealing with dust allergies in a house I moved into recently and was recommended to get a Lennox Healthy Climate 16x25x5 filter for my HVAC system by a relative. He isn't a technician though, so I was hoping to get input here. My system is 1.5 years old and I don't want to damage it with air restriction. But I also don't want to be miserable with dust allergies 24/7. I've seen mixed reviews on if the Lennox Healthy Climate does restrict or if it has enough pleats that it doesn't effect airflow. Could anyone weigh in on this so I can . . . [More]

why do new homes being built have mini splits not vented ac

A lot of newly built homes in my area appear to have mini splits (you can see them on the side of the house). Also, a friend of mine is a very successful real estate agent that sells fancy homes in a fancy market (500k+ homes) & all the newly built homes have mini splits, no vents. I am surprised by this. My friend just says they are easier to have than vents — sure i get that. But if someone is having a 800k house built, the homeowners probably arent looking to cut corners to save $5k. They want something that is most reliable & efficient. . . . [More]
