When I first started up the furnace in the early fall, it wasn’t acting just right! Because the weather turned cold without any warning plus far earlier than last year, I hadn’t gotten around to scheduling a seasonal service yet, then i knew there was honestly some dust, lint plus other debris gathered inside of the various components, then while I had great intentions to contact a local HVAC company plus book an appointment, I simply got overworked plus forgot, however there was a lot to do to prepare for Winter plus not much time to do it.
Along with plummeting un-even temperatures, the weather forecast was calling for lots of snowfall plus potential blizzard conditions.
I had yet to winterize the pool plus put the barbecue grill plus the patio furniture into storage. I needed to buy rock salt for the front steps, hire somebody to plow up the driveway plus find the snow shovels. It takes a while to make sure all of the Winter gear, such as heavy winter boots, coats, gloves plus hats are accessible. There’s also the process of tightening up the apartment for the winter. I make a point to make sure the windows are closed tight, inspect the caulk around them to check the condition of the insulation in the attic. I occasionally roll up towels plus locate them on windows sills plus along the bottom of exterior doors to prevent drafts; Since the furnace was still operational plus supplying heat, I never gave it a thought, however unfortunately, the heating system broke in the middle of that early blizzard. The outside temperature had plummeted to twenty degrees below with steady snowfall, and every one of us needed emergency heating repair ASAP.
