I’m really grateful that the closest HVAC company makes a point of getting out to me.
That’s more than an hour round trip for them.
I live far enough out that there are times where even a four wheel drive vehicle has a hard time getting to me. Yet every fall, those HVAC professionals come out to do the HVAC maintenance on my gas furnace. They don’t seem to mind the trip at all and I certainly appreciate their attitude. I always know I’m in good hands with those HVAC technicians. I’ve lived way out here since I built this place when I got out of college. This is the second gas furnace I’ve had in this house. Due to the great work of my HVAC professionals and all that HVAC maintenance, I’ve never suffered any sort of downtime. That doesn’t mean I haven’t gone a few days without HVAC heating. When there is a particularly tough storm, the power and gas could be off for a while. So I’ve always had to back up my gas furnace. The wood stove I use for heating in the winter is original as I had it built just for this place. That heating method sure has come in handy when I needed it. The price of heating being so expensive, I even use the wood stove more now as a supplemental heating source. It’s certainly worth effort when it comes to rounding up all the firewood it takes to get through a winter. But more than anything, I’m so thankful to have heating no matter if the gas furnace is working or not.
