Right before summer started, my heating and cooling system’s ductwork developed a leak that drastically reduced indoor comfort.
The boiler would turn off and on by itself.
It also made a hissing noise when it was on. I called the heating and cooling provider and scheduled a furnace/heater tune-up. The heating contractor postponed the appointment due to an unforeseen circumstance. Several months ago, I used the fans I bought from a retired heating dealer to withstand the heat as I waited for the HVAC repairman. I also spent much time in the pool and barbequing with my neighbors. When the HVAC technician finally arrived, I switched off the unit. I noticed they were the same workmen that did the electric furnace installation. After the boiler repair, my heater has worked well since then. I have kept in touch with the heating business, receiving their advice whenever I have questions concerning the heater or heating technology. After a while, I noticed the air quality at the house had reduced, so I contacted them for heater maintenance. This time, he was prompt. After assessing the system, he recommended we use the HEPA filters to replace the furnace filters. There I discovered that he had sent an email reminding me to replace the filters and suggesting these high-quality filters, and it was like I had a new heating system to help with indoor comfort. If I had read the email, which went to the spam folder, I would have saved the cost of hiring a tech. We all learn from experience, right? I even learned how to replace my filters, improving how well I cared for the central heater.
