The Mountaineer Heating and Cooling Journal

Welcome to Emmi’s Corner, everyone! I have some very, very, very exciting news this week! I’m honored that my family would let me be the one to announce it, you’d think I was pretty special or something (they still keep telling me I’m spoiled, but I just respond with “I’m blessed, not spoiled”). Anyways, onto the exciting news!

It is my pleasure to announce that we have just found out that Mountaineer Heating and Cooling has won the “People’s Choice Award” for best heating and air in the High Country in the 2009 Mountain Times People’s Choice Awards! We were so excited to hear this news, and we would like to thank our loyal customers, friends and neighbors who are such a blessing to us.

I was so excited I gave a celebratory wag of my tail and a little running around the office to celebrate. We are thankful for each one of our customers, and we are blessed to be able to do what we do. We love our job, and being able to be active in our community; meeting the people that make Watauga County so great, it’s truly a blessing!

So from Mountaineer Heating and Cooling to you: Thank you for making us your number one choice for your heating and cooling comfort needs! We’re are so thankful for you!

I’ll see you next week.

Love,

Emmi

 

 

Well, hello again everyone. I’m pleased to report that it is not quite as frigid here as it was last week. In fact, it was so pleasant today that I decided to go puddle jumpin’! It was a blast and I got all wet  my sister, (she normally writes all the posts on here) Molly, told me that I have to get a bath since I smell like a wet dog. I don’t see the point in gettin’ a bath since I just washed myself in that puddle outside. Oh well, I guess I’ll just get a bath.

Well, I’ve been with my new family for three weeks now, and everything is going great! Since I’ve been in the high country for three weeks now, I’m pretty accustomed to my new surroundings, but one thing I’m still trying to get acclimated to is the weather! Gee whillikers, it’s hard to predict the weather up here, one minute it’s sunny and warm and the next it’s 11 degrees and blowing snow! Thankfully I have my heated rice bag that I lay on to stay warm (my family keeps telling me I’m spoiled, I don’t think I am, though). My dad keeps talking about how hard our heat pump is having to work with these frigid temperatures, he also talks about how glad he is that we are part of the Maintenance Program at Mountaineer Heating and Cooling.

Dad says that it is important to have our heat pump checked once or twice a year to make sure everything is working properly. He says it keeps our system strong so it can withstand all the hard work it’s been doing this winter. It makes me feel safer since I know our heat pump is in good, working order and is ready to take on the cold temperatures.

And our service technicians are really good at what they do, it normally takes them over an hour to thoroughly check the heat pump. They’re really thorough and meticulous to make sure our heat pump is in good shape. I really appreciate that!

If you want to know more about making sure your comfort system is ready for this crazy High Country weather, give us a call at Mountaineer Heating and Cooling, our number is 828-264-6625. Just tell ‘em Emmi sent ya!

Well, I’m off to take a nap, and then get my bath (ugh, I don’t like baths). I hope you have a great day, and enjoy this sunshine! I’ll probably go and jump in some more puddles, just don’t tell my family, ok? It’ll be our secret

Lots of Love,

Emmi

 

Hello, everyone. My name  is Emmi Petrey, I am the newest addition to the Mountaineer Heating and Cooling family. My job is to keep everyone at the office on their toes, and  explore the office space. It’s a tough job but someone has to do it. I’m nine weeks old, and I love to chew, sleep, eat, and play with everyone in the office. My dad (most people call him Winston), picked me up on Christmas Eve from Kentucky. And brought me home to spend my first Christmas with my new family. Unfortunately, the power went out Christmas day, and we spent our Christmas by the fire in the living room. Although it was sort of fun since my family let me explore the house in the dark, we played lots of games of “Where’s Emmi?” I thought it was funny since my family would be frantically searching the house trying to find me in the dark with just a flashlight, while I was hiding under the chair.

When I first came home, my dad gave me a bath. While it felt good to be clean, the cold winter weather has caused my skin to become dry and itchy. This can be bothersome ’cause whenever I’m chasing my ball, I have to stop mid-chase and scratch my itchy skin. This really hinders me in my aspirations to be the best “ball chaser” around. It can really bring a girl down, you know?

So when my dad told me about a new product called the TrueSTEAM humidifier from Honeywell, I was intrigued. With the TrueSTEAM humidifier the moisture that is taken away in the cold weather is restored leaving me and my family comfortable during the winter. This was especially good news for me and my dry, itchy skin. And the best part about the TrueSTEAM humidifier is that it is eco-friendly too! It uses up to 70 percent less water while delivering more moisture. And it’s a whole house humidifier, so your entire house will be comfortable, not just one room! Plus it helps to reduce our heating bills because humidified air feels warmer, we’re able to turn down the thermostat for more savings!

I’m really excited about this product, and so is my dad. In fact he’s offering a choice of a $100.00 rebate or a programmable thermostat with the installation of  a TrueSTEAM humidifier now through February 28th, 2010. So give Mountaineer Heating and Cooling today to learn more. Just tell ‘em Emmi sent ya!

Well, I’m off to chase more balls, I’ll see you next Friday for another edition of “Emmi’s Corner”!
