I do not like visiting people during the cold season.
For one, in the cold season, I have to dress extra warm because of my chest problems.
In the car, the temperature has to be right and consistent. I can control my house and the car, but not someone else’s house. Before I visit you, I have to be sure how long I’ll stay out. Unfortunately, I had to make this visit because my aunt had just given birth. I had to see my niece sooner before the season ended, otherwise, it would be another four months until I make another visit. Once at her house, I tried to take my mind off the heating but it wasn’t long before I asked her for the small heater. I am glad she understands me but the one thing she does not compromise on is the setting of her heat pump. She sits here a little lower than my furnace back at home but what can I do? Since I always bring up the topic about furnace/heater installation and heater maintenance, we go back and forth about it in our conversation. My aunt is rather old school, so she likes her things in a certain way. Her mantra is, “if it is not broken, do not fix it.” That goes for her heat and AC products too. I am not sure when she last had HVAC maintenance since her boiler repair a few months back but one thing is for sure – she frowns upon anyone who comes in for any repair work , including the HVAC repairman. It doesn’t matter whether the technician is from a certified heating dealership or heating business she has worked with before. Everyone is a suspect to her. No wonder she has never gotten around upgrading to hybrid heating or fixing, let alone considering hydronic heating I mentioned a while back. Anyway, I was just to see my niece and off I left after a few hours.
