I had just picked my son from school which was a few blocks away so we normally walked to and from school! As we were walking home with my son telling myself and others all about his day, a guy in a motorcycle sped past us at an undoubtedly high speed.
Before I could process what was happening, I heard screams.
Looking ahead I saw a boy sprawled on the road, he had been hit by the speeding rider and he immediately took off, there was blood all around him and before we could dial the emergency number a home services truck stopped beside us. A guy who I assumed was a heating business dashed out and asked me to help him get the boy in the truck so that we could rush him to the hospital. The boy was immediately rushed to the emergency room and his mom arrived shortly after and that is when we left but promised to call him to find out how the boy was doing. As we were driving back the guy told me he was a heating serviceman certainly working for the local heating corporation and at the time of the accident, he was on his way to do annual maintenance of a dual fuel system, and I asked him what it entailed and he explained that the method has a furnace and an electric heat pump plus therefore needed a oil furnace/heater tune-up and heat pump service. I also found out he was the same man who was supposed to give my oil furnace filter and maintenance the gas supply to my fireplace, then we discussed other types of new heating components such as a smart or digital temperature control that could help with indoor comfort.
