A reminder flashed on my cellphone’s screen, all thanks to technology where I could truly set reminders on my Wi-Fi-enabled control unit. I could simply access all the information on it, including making adjustments to the cabin heating, ventilation and A/C system, through an application on my cell phone. With the aged dial control unit, this would not be possible. The challenge was that I was miles away from home, had missed last year’s heating system service, plus knew the furnace needed maintenance and servicing. The only thing in my control at the time was implementing one of the energy-saving tips: turn the temperature to the lowest possible when nobody was in the house. The hydronic furnace provides quality heating, plus this was the first time I had actually considered other types of heaters! Not to mention the radiant heated floors in the powder room, which encourage me to take long showers even during the cold season because the indoor comfort is on another level. The heat pump proved valuable buying the device plus the heating dealership service charge, but it was the absolute best decision I ever made. I had gotten a discount from the heating contractor since it was during their grand opening. The heating, ventilation and A/C repairman did an impeccable task on the furnace/heater upgrade. Even the specialist who came for the first boiler service commended the task. I would have to wait ten days until I got the cabin because I was sure nothing could go wrong in such a short period. I also thought of upgrading to a hybrid furnace, but that would entail purchasing another heat plus AC product, so I would need to ponder on it some more. The one single thing that would stay the same was the heating, ventilation and A/C service schedule.
