I had been having a great month until Sunday came around.
- This is because Sunday is the afternoon that our oil furnace stopped working.
The oil furnace that I have isn’t anything special. It is your average gas oil furnace and it generally does a fantastic job of keeping the apartment nice and heated. I don’t live in an overly cold weather conditions but the hot and cold temperatures here can drop a bit and when they do the oil furnace takes care of it by hastily heating up the house; On that Sunday, I woke up feeling much colder than usual. I knew something was off and so I immediately got up and went to check the thermostat. It was set to heating, however I could guess no hot air coming out of the air vents at all. After waiting for a while and tampering with the thermostat, I had to accept the fact that our oil furnace was having complications. I knew that there was only a single thing to do, and that was to call the heating and a/c professionals to have them come over to our house and fix the problem. Thankfully, it didn’t take them absolutely long to send out an Heating & Air Conditioning specialist and he went straight to work inspecting our central furnace. I was informed when he was finished that the oil furnace had some ancient and worn out parts that would need to be replaced before it would be working again; When I was informed about the price of these parts I nearly fainted! I would not be able to have our oil furnace repaired. I decided to try our fortune with a smaller Heating & Air Conditioning supplier and to our relief they had much more satisfactory prices and I was able to afford the service costs.
