I was having some trouble with my gas furnace a couple of weeks ago and I decided I was going to try and fix it myself.
It’s not that I know anything at all about the heating and cooling industry, but I really didn’t want to have to pay for a professional HVAC technician to come out to the house.
And this ended up being one of those instances where I really had to pay for being so cheap. No pun intended there, either! I don’t know what my problem is, but I always feel like I can handle a lot of things myself. Sometimes I can, but once in a while there is something that I should just not try to mess with. My heating and cooling system is one such thing. When it comes right down to it, I don’t know the first thing about heating and cooling systems. I might as well just go ahead and admit that to myself, and I don’t know why I thought any differently when it came to trying to fix my own gas furnace. I am lucky that I did not blow my house up. When the furnace started acting funny, I just started looking up different kinds of videos online and I thought I would be able to fix it myself. I was trying to save a little bit of money since it’s the holiday season, but saving money is not worth the safety of my home and my indoor air quality. After I messed around with it, I realized that the repair was way above my head and out of my league. I ended up calling the HVAC company anyway.
