Last week, I almost broke my leg when I fell off a ladder.
It all started when I noticed that the heating that was coming from our heating vents felt more lukewarm than anything else.
It wasn’t heating our house the way that it was supposed to and the temperature outside was really cold. I wanted to check the heating vents to make sure that the heating was actually working the right way. I was pretty sure that there might be something blocking the heating vent in the ceiling in my bedroom. I didn’t know what it could be, but I decided to check and see if there was something in the heating vent. So I climbed up on the ladder and unscrewed the air register vent in the ceiling. When I took off the air vent cover, I felt around to see if there was anything in the air duct but I didn’t find anything at all. As I went to put the vent cover back on, I tripped on the top step of the ladder and fell off the ladder backwards! The air vent cover fell down on my head and my leg twisted and it hurt like crazy. As I was laying there in pain on the floor, I realized that I shouldn’t have even tried to figure out the problem with my heating system myself. From now on, I am going to call my local heating and cooling technician to come and fix anything remotely related to my furnace, air conditioning, or ductwork. After nearly killing myself on that ladder, I think I would be much better off leaving the HVAC work to the professionals.
