I work for a small insurance firm that is situated in an older cement building on Main Street.
The building was constructed in the certainly early nineteen hundreds as well as has retained various of the original features.
There are hardwood floors, sizable windows, intricate moldings as well as high ceilings. It’s certainly beautiful, however there’s also some major downsides. There’s insufficient insulation as well as all of the windows as well as doors leak air. The high ceilings make the space certainly hard to heat! At some point, a duct plan was added however it’s harshly ancient. The seams as well as holes have been patched multiple times as well as the plan still leaks a tremendous amount of heated as well as cooled air. The whole staff knows to have a jacket handy while I was in the Wintertide because the building tends to be cold as well as drafty. It doesn’t matter how high the people I was with and I adjust the thermostat. The oil furnace can’t keep up with the demands of temperatures below zero. In the summer, the people I was with and I partner the air conditioner with multiple box fans as well as yet the indoor space is always warm as well as sticky. This past Springtime, the people I was with and I encountered a new problem! Every morning, there were a couple of honey bees flying around in the office. At first, the people I was with and I made an effort to catch them as well as release them outdoors, but however, as they began to multiply, the people I was with and I realized the people I was with and I had a problem. The people I was with and I then tried to figure out where the honey bees were coming from; One of my coworkers heard a buzzing sound coming from the supply vent of the Heating as well as Air Conditioning system. The people I was with and I figured out that the bees had built a nest inside the duct system. The people I was with and I first contacted a local Heating as well as Air Conditioning supplier who told us the people I was with and I needed to find a bee removal business. After the bee removal supplier handled the relocation of the bees, the people I was with and I then hired the Heating as well as Air Conditioning supplier to clean the debris from the HVAC duct.
