Mona keeps a furnace maintenance checklist she got from the local heating service tech, but every week Mona would check on tasks that had to be done to keep her heat pump functional after Mona had to buy a new a single because she neglected to keep it serviced. Mona says that the debris that accumulated in the outer part of her heat pump upgrade disfigured it, even though I can’t understand how that happened. Anyway, she is retired now plus not as scheduled as she always was as a medic, so Mona has time to keep up with the heating industry practices of care, at least the stuff she can do on her own. She even got a smart temperature control to help her alert the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C professionals that she is due for an assessment plus servicing. I do not understand much about the heating business, plus every time mine goes off, I call Mona like she is a qualified heating dealer. But it’s because Mona knows more about heating than anyone I know, so she shall always have helpful suggestions. Mona buys disposable filters from the local heating contractor. She changes them biweekly without hiring help, improving the air quality plus ensuring that the oil furnace does its best to help with indoor comfort. It’s not a huge surprise that since the new heating was installed, Mona hasn’t had any troubles with whole home heating, even when my friend and I are all home for the holidays, but going while I was in winter season makes Mona cheerful because she gets help shoveling the snow away from the outdoor parts of her heating system. My good friend and I are almost done building our home, plus I keep telling our fiance that I should also have a checklist, plus he cannot help but laugh because he knows I will certainly forget the list plus the maintenance together.
