The furnace in our dorm was not working properly.
- We were all excited about the fall semester, but we had a big problem with the furnace.
I remember walking into my room on a hot day, excited to feel the refreshing air of the air conditioner, but instead I was met by some extreme heat. I set my stuff down and checked the thermostat. The thermostat read an extremely high temperature, but the thermostat also said that the furnace was off. I went to the air ducts and felt warm air coming out, which confirmed that the heater was indeed on, and it was not working properly. I went to the front desk of the dorm and told them the problem. They had the janitor manually shut off our furnace for us. I was so relieved that the furnace was off and my room was at a comfortable temperature again. I felt the cool air of the air conditioner hitting my face and laid back in my bed perfectly content. Unfortunately, the wonderful air conditioner only lasted a couple of hours before the furnace kicked on on its own and started to heat up our room again. I rolled my eyes and sighed. I called the front desk and told them my room furnace turned on on its own again. They called an HVAC technician to come fix my furnace for me so I wouldn’t have to deal with the heat anymore. The HVAC technician was not able to come till the next day, so I had to sleep that night in a friend’s room because the furnace heated my room so much. The HVAC technician came the next day and fixed the furnace for me. From that day on I became incredibly thankful for the air conditioner.
