It was true that I had neglected the heating device but I always ensured that I checked the ductwork and every once in a while I find a leak and do duct sealing.
Going out in our early twenties was a breeze. We could go out and the next morning we would attend our classes, go to work in the evening, catch a few hrs of sleep and be as fresh as a daisy the following morning. But things are very different in my thirties, one Friday night out and I will eat for it the whole weekend. Last Friday I went out with my friends and on Saturday I could barely get out of bed. What woke me up was the cold so I dragged myself out of bed to the digital thermostat. I did not understand why the furnace had switched itself off and when I switched it on again, it switched itself off after a few minutes. I just put on a sweater and added an extra duvet and continued sleeping. I called the heating dealer at around noon on Saturday. The HVAC serviceman, after inspecting the heating device, informed me that I had neglected to do heating maintenance which could have easily prevented the breakdown and saved me the cost of the heating repair. It was true that I had neglected the heating device but I always ensured that I checked the ductwork and every once in a while I find a leak and do duct sealing. The only time I called the home services was for repairs, air filters and other such things related to the heating industry. I also heard the HVAC tech talk to someone on the phone about a geo heat pump. When I asked him about that type of system, I was impressed to find out that it meant lower energy costs but it was not something that I was ready for yet. I could barely take care of a boiler.
