The oil furnace that brought fear to the people

Friends, let me regale you with a tale of a monstrosity that terrorized a small community.

  • I speak not of a mythical creature, but of an Heating and Air Conditioning system, so ferocious in its production of heat that it struck fear into the hearts of those who dwelled nearby.

Its heat output was unlike anything they had ever experienced, and nobody dared to venture near it, for fear of being roasted alive, when the call came for an Heating and Air Conditioning worker to come and repair it, he approached the task with trepidation. Who wouldn’t be intimidated by such a fearsome beast? He valiantly Marched up to it, his arsenal of tools in hand, and prepared to do battle. It was an arduous job, taking various minutes, but finally, he emerged victorious. Thanks to the Heating and Air Conditioning worker’s bravery, the oil furnace was fixed, and the people could breathe a sigh of relief. They no longer had to worry about being burnt to a crisp in their own homes, but it’s remarkable how something as seemingly ordinary as an Heating and Air Conditioning system could evoke such terror. Technology can be a double-edged sword, as useful as it is daunting. One thing is for sure, we should never underestimate the power of an Heating and Air Conditioning system, and we must ensure we have skilled Heating and Air Conditioning workers on hand to keep them in fantastic working order. As we have learned, the consequences of a faulty oil furnace can be chillingly frightening. This Heating and Air Conditioning worker’s story will live on through tales of heroism. Some say if fear ever strikes you, the Heating and Air Conditioning worker will rise and save the day once again!

The a/c wouldn't quit

After what felt like an eternity, the repairman eventually arrived.

As the scorching sun blazed down upon them, Mark and his family retreated indoors. It was a wise decision, as the heat outside was nearly unbearable. Mark had just switched on the a/c unit, hoping to escape the sweltering heat when they heard an odd noise emanating from it. Mark investigated the matter but failed to discern what was wrong, and he shrugged it off, hoping it would resolve itself. Regrettably, that wasn’t the case, then the a/c equipment grew louder and began to make clanking noises, and the room became changingly chilly. Mark’s parents attempted to switch it off, but their efforts proved futile. The predicament appeared to be spiraling out of control, and Mark’s family grew uneasy as the temperature continued to plummet. They contacted an A/C worker for assistance, but he was caught in traffic and could not reach them anytime soon, and as the minutes went by, Mark and his family found themselves shivering uncontrollably. They resorted to covering themselves with blankets, but it proved to be of little avail. The a/c equipment had metamorphosed into an invincible force, and they were powerless to stop it. After what felt like an eternity, the repairman eventually arrived. He did his best to repair the issue, but the a/c equipment refused to respond. After investigating further, the repairman realized that the A/C had gone berserk, and he was left bewildered, nevertheless, he managed to resolve the issue with a little tinkering, and the a/c equipment eventually shut down. Mark and his family breathed a sigh of relief and stepped outside, soaking in the bright sunshine. They l learned an expensive lesson that morning, and henceforth, they kept a close eye on their cooling system, ready for any future malfunctions.

A dehumidifier provides lots of benefits

Indoor humidity levels should be maintained between 35 and 60% for optimum comfort and health. High humidity makes the air feel hot and sticky and hinders the body’s ability to regulate temperature. It can be tempting to lower the thermostat setting. While the air conditioner is then required to work harder, the process of pulling heat out of the air doesn’t solve the problem. There’s still an excessive amount of moisture. Unfortunately high humidity causes bigger worries than high energy bills. Spending time in a muggy environment can actually make a person sick. Air that contains more than 60% humidity is ideal for bacteria, dust mites, fungi and viruses to thrive and multiply. Plus, they stay airborne for longer periods of time, increasing the risk of breathing them in and major health concerns. Asthma attacks, aggravated symptoms of allergies, sneezing, coughing, headaches, nausea, difficulty sleeping and lack of energy are a few of the consequences. A lack of fresh air or inadequate ventilation can be responsible for problematic humidity levels. Oversized air conditioners can also be to blame. A unit that is too powerful for the space turns on and off too frequently, never operating long enough to properly remove humidity. A solution for handling moisture is a whole-home dehumidifier. These devices install directly into the cooling system and pull moisture out of the air as it passes through. They operate almost silently, require only annual maintenance and work to pay for themselves by allowing higher thermostat settings. Because the air conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard, it uses less energy and costs less to operate. There’s also the added benefit of lessening wear and tear on the air conditioner, resulting in greater reliability and longevity.

Ripping out furnace and installing boiler

The only reason my husband and I were able to afford such a big piece of property and large home in an advantageous location was because everything was incredibly rundown.

No one had lived in the house or done any repairs or updates on the place in quite a few years.

Since we are especially handy and like home remodeling projects, we were excited to get started. The need to gut the house down to the bare studs offered an opportunity to make changes. We updated the electrical panel, wires and outlets to better meet our needs as well as safety codes. We replaced corroded plumbing pipes with PVC, swapped out drains and fixtures and installed a new water heater. We made improvements to everything from the appliances, cupboards and windows to the heating system. We decided to remove the ancient ductwork and outdated furnace and invest into a modern boiler system. We prefer the advantages of hydronic heating over forced air. A boiler operates almost silently, costs less to run and can be expected to last about twice as long. It heats up water and sends it through a closed system of pipes that won’t introduce contaminants into the air or cause issues with insufficient humidity. These pipes work to spread heat across the surface of the floor that rises slowly and avoid cold spots. There is no ugly equipment taking up living space or requiring furniture to be arranged around it. We also have the advantage of zone control. With a separate thermostat in each room, we’re able to avoid heating empty areas and tailor comfort to personal preference.

Working for HVAC company

When I got hired as a receptionist for an HVAC company, I wasn’t positive what the acronym stood for.

I knew very little about heating and cooling services.

I’ve now worked for the same company for nearly ten years. I’ve become very knowledgeable in furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, air conditioners, ductless mini-splits, high-velocity units and VRFs. I can explain the different indoor air quality accessories, such as germicidal UV lights, air purifiers, humidifiers and dehumidifiers. I answer the phones and schedule new system installations, replacements, tune-ups and repairs. I also call customers who have enrolled in our maintenance plan to remind them when it’s time for seasonal service. I handle warranty requirements, inventory, dispatching the trucks for emergency repairs and make sure our technicians keep up with licensing, insurance, certifications and factory training updates. Because of my job, I’ve become much more conscientious about taking good care of my furnace and air conditioner. I never forget to replace the air filters and always make a point to arrange for upkeep in the fall and spring. The heating and cooling system installed at the office isn’t treated as well. Unfortunately, the technicians are typically too busy to provide a tune-up. The equipment is definitely showing signs of neglect. I’ve noticed a steady increase in energy bills even while comfort and air quality decline. The unit has begun to make a weird noise and struggles to keep up with demand on especially cold or hot days. I expect that the system will eventually fail, and I’ll need to insist that one of the technicians take the time to provide a repair.

The HVAC technician sounded like he was fighting with the furnace.

I stood at the top of the basement steps listening to the HVAC technician as he worked on the furnace.

  • I knew it needed a new air filter, because my husband had been away for a while, and I didn’t know how to change the air filter.

I was going to tell them I just needed a new air filter when I called the HVAC company, but I didn’t want the secretary to laugh at me. Now, I was listening to the HVAC technician and wished I had told him about the air filter. It had been about six months since they sent my husband to the Middle East, and it was at least that long since we changed the air filter. My husband asked me if I had changed the air filter since he left. I told him I didn’t know how, and he recommended I call the HVAC company. I was listening to the HVAC technician, and he sounded like he was fighting with the furnace, and he was losing. I stood there for a while, and then I went downstairs. I apologized to him because it was my fault if he couldn’t get the air filter out. I cried and said my husband was in the Middle East and he never showed me how to change the air filters. He said I should always call the HVAC company when I was in doubt. If I had called the HVAC company two months ago, the air filter would have been changed by an HVAC technician and he would have showed me how to do it in the future.

I stay so fresh and cool in my central a/c

I don’t want to go to work today.

It’s Tuesday morning, and I just want to start the weekend a few days early.

Is that so much to ask? I do have a bit of sick time left but there are still a few weeks left and what if I need a few days before the end of the year comes? I’m already showered, teeth brushed and all I have to do is grab my keys and then head out the door. I’m just not feeling it today. I woke up feeling tired but not tired enough to not go to work. It took myself and others forever to get out of my comfy bed. It was just so comfy and the central a/c just made myself and others think so chill and relaxed. I think going into work today I won’t have that same relaxed feeling and I think I may just call in sick. I just have to send an text to my boss saying I’m not feeling very well and I can just throw my pajamas back on and enjoy the cool comfort of the a/c on my body. I think that’s what will happen when you get the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C supplier to send out a cooling expert to repair your Heating, Ventilation plus A/C system. I haven’t had a/c unit in years and I am just soaking it in. I don’t have any major plans this weekend besides doing the grocery shopping. I can do that later today or now since I’m dressed and come back to the condo afterward, lounge on the couch and hope that nobody calls myself and others to do anything this whole weekend. I think it sounds a bit lazy but that’s all I truly want currently.
