The HVAC took a dive last fall.
And it came at the most inopportune time.
Actually, the HVAC didn’t so much take a dive as a big problem was found in the gas furnace when they came out to do the heating maintenance. Thankfully, the air conditioning held out through the summer as we didn’t get the air conditioner tune-up like normal. The Covid craziness saw to that. I was worried all summer that the HVAC cooling was going to be off when I came home from work. However, it probably helped that we were so intent on doing with as little HVAC cooling last summer as possible to save money. Lightening the load on the HVAC cooling certainly didn’t hurt when it came to helping the air conditioner get through the summer. That’s when just as I was letting out a sigh of relief over the air conditioning that I got hit with the gas furnace situation. I even considered talking to a friend of mine who had a guy that supposedly knows HVAC. My buddy uses him and at least I haven’t heard any complaints. And this guy doesn’t charge much. Thinking like that was sort of out of character for me. I like all my service work to be guaranteed whether it’s a car or HVAC equipment. So, I backed right off those thoughts and simply bit the bullet. There really is no substitute for an HVAC professional anyway. The gas furnace got fixed and interestingly enough, it was the most efficient it had ever been with heating the house this past winter.
