I was coming back from work when I received my mum’s distressed call.
She could not get the heat pump to start, yet she felt too cold at night. Blankets were not working well too. My mother was never the kind to bother about life’s comforts if she had an alternative. However, her life changed drastically after her accident a few years back. She depended on many things to help her live a healthy lifestyle as she was used to. Winters became extremely crucial for her since a little exposure to the cold would ban hospitalization. We got her a modern furnace installed to help her enjoy her lifestyle, thanks to efficient HVAC technicians who world round the clock to ensure this went well. Her call startled me as the first concern was that her health was failing yet again. While this was not far from the truth, she was willing to fight, and all we needed to do was to support her to live comfortably. I called in the HVAC business provider that installed the unit and asked him to immediately visit my mom’s house. Fortunately for us, the unit was still in good shape. All the thermostat needed was battery replacement which we did and left behind a few for future use. My takeaway lesson from this experience was to equip users of HVAC units with the right information to support their usage successfully. Besides that, make sure you go for units that are easy to operate, especially if you are not the person going to live in the house frequently.
