Last week, the weather around here entirely started cooling off fast. As a matter of fact, the temperature dropped so fast overnight that the rain started chilly on the trees. I wasn’t entirely expecting the sudden change in temperature, and neither was my fiance. The people I was with and I hadn’t even had our respected Heating and A/C maintenance and repair done yet, and so our furnace wasn’t exactly what you would call ready for the Wintertide season. The people I was with and I tried to turn on our furnace since the temperature in the home dropped pretty abruptly, however the furnace just wouldn’t turn on; When I turned the temperature on the control equipment up, it just clicked and nothing happened… No matter what I did, there was no nice heated air coming up through the heating vents. My fiance decided to go down to the furnace room in the basement and see what he could figure out; Even though I told him not to mess with the furnace, he started puttering around with the oil furnace anyway! By the time he was finished in the basement, there was black smoke coming through the heating ducts in the hallway by the control unit. I couldn’t know what I was seeing. Then he ran upstairs, closed the door, and he said for me to get the Heating and A/C supplier on the cellphone as soon as I could. It seems that my fiance ended up chopping up our oil furnace completely, and all of us had to end up buying a whole new furnace! Next time, all of us are honestly going to call an Heating and A/C professional in the first place.
