Heating and cooling repair

Everything was ready. The furniture had been pushed aside to make room for our sleeping bags, the popcorn plus tea were in the fridge, plus the movies had been ordered, and i was having a sleepover at my home with three of my best friends. The important event had been on our calendars for weeks plus the excitement was building, then but Murphy’s Law, it seemed, had prevailed – whatever could go wrong – did! The heater had quit with no warning whatsoever. I panicked, of course; Who could come this late on a Friday afternoon to service it? I found a number to call for an HVAC specialist and, thankfully, he was able to come within the hour. The complication was – he came at quite a cost. But what option did I have? Once the specialist arrived, he went to the basement plus started assessing the cause. I wanted to stand next to him plus tell him to hurry, but I forced myself to stay out of his way. It didn’t take long for him detect what was causing the heater to quit… He said that since I had an induced draft heater, an intermittent pilot ignites the burner gas with a high voltage spark only when the temperature control calls for heat. The intermittent pilot flame goes out after the heating cycle plus remains off until the next time the temperature control calls for heat. What had happened was that the ignitor had cracked plus needed to be replaced. I was so cheerful that it was just a matter of replacing a part, which – thankfully, he had in his truck. In no time, the heater was running again plus the home slowly started warming up – just in time for the sleepover.

Our teenage kid likes to play her tunes certainly loud.

I understand her desire to do so because I did when I was her age, of course she can’t play it that loud when my pal and I have guests over or any time after eleven o’clock at night.

Once she played the beatbox so loud that the speakers blew! One Tuesday afternoon the apartment was noisy, as usual. I never heard the clicking sounds coming from the boiler in our basement as a result; So when the apartment started to get a bit freezing, I took a look at the control equipment and realized that the temperature had dropped by seven degrees. The first thing I did was to run to the basement and see if I could see the pilot light. That was okay, however what I noticed was the clicking sounds coming from inside the boiler. I ran back upstairs to call our Heating and Air Conditioning company. But before I could make the call, I had to run to the second floor to tell my kid to turn the tunes down so that I could hear to make the call. Once I got the worker on the PC and described the problem, she told me that the clicking sounds could be one of multiple things. The motor bearings could be worn and need replacement – which should be done soon or the motor could burn out… Another cause could be an issue with the gas valve. This concern would require a professional from the gas company to repair it, as required by law, and finally, the pilot assembly could have come loose, preventing the pilot light from functioning properly. In any event, she promised to come that afternoon to repair the problem.

Everything was ready, however the furniture had been pushed aside to make room for our sleeping bags, the chips and soda were in the fridge, and the films had been ordered.

I was having a sleepover at my apartment with three of my best friends.

The sizable event had been on our calendars for weeks and the excitement was building, then but Murphy’s Law, it seemed, had prevailed – whatever could go wrong – did!

Our teenage son likes to play his music really loud. I understand his desire to do so because I did when I was his age. Of course he can’t play it that loud when we have guests over or any time after eleven o’clock at night. Once he played the stereo so loud that the speakers blew! One Saturday afternoon the house was noisy, as usual. I never heard the clicking sounds coming from the furnace in our basement as a result. So when the house started to get a bit chilly, I took a look at the thermostat and realized that the temperature had dropped by seven degrees. The first thing I did was to run to the basement and see if I could see the pilot light. That was okay, but what I noticed was the clicking sounds coming from inside the furnace. I ran back upstairs to call our HVAC contractor. But before I could make the call, I had to run to the second floor to tell my son to turn the music down so that I could hear to make the call. Once I got the technician on the phone and described the problem, he told me that the clicking sounds could be one of several things. The motor bearings could be worn and need replacement – which should be done soon or the motor could burn out. Another cause could be an issue with the gas valve. This problem would require a professional from the gas company to repair it, as required by law. Finally, the pilot assembly could have come loose, preventing the pilot light from functioning properly. In any event, he promised to come that day to fix the problem.

My mom has been baking all day long and it is hot in the house.

I have the air conditioner on full speed but it just can’t compete with the oven.

We moved my mom into the spare bedroom 6 months ago. She is ready to retire and I need child care. So it is perfect. However, it was a big mistake to tell her about the school bake sale. I guess she thinks she needs to stock the bake sale entirely by herself because the oven hasn’t turned off all day. I am glad she is enthusiastic about helping out. However, at this rate, it will take several hours before the house cools down enough for us to sleep. It is already sundown. That means we are all going to have a hard time sleeping tonight. I would complain about it but it is already done. Besides, it is not really my mom’s fault that the air conditioner doesn’t work right. After all, the air conditioner should be able to keep up with the oven. It is not even summer yet. If the air conditioner can’t keep the house cool now it probably won’t be able too when the real heat hits either. I have known that the air conditioner needed some maintenance for over a year now but I have been ignoring it and hoping it would go away. Of course, it doesn’t work that way. Things never just fix themselves. So I guess I am going to have to call up a local air conditioning company in the morning. Hopefully they can fix the air conditioner without charging too much.

When I was a kid my father and I would always stop by this gas station and get a frosty ice cream on the way home from church. Mom never went to church with us but that is another story. To be honest, I think the only reason I went to church with my dad was for that ice cream afterwards. It was always hot and uncomfortable in the church. Always. The church was small and crowded and it had 1 window air conditioning unit. In the summer it was hot and uncomfortable. Dad never wanted to sit near the air conditioner because you couldn’t hear well if you sat next to the air conditioner. I didn’t see that as much of a problem but apparently my father did. We always sat in the first or second row. You could hear just fine there. However, you didn’t get any cool air in those pews. In the winter months the church was also hot because the church’s furnace worked wonderfully. In fact, it worked too well. I don’t know if it didn’t have a thermostat or what but it was always well over 80 degrees in the church. The furnace would be blasting away while we sweated and suffered. At least I had a nice cool ice cream to look forward to. Winter or summer, I knew I would get my ice cream for the drive home. That made it all worthwhile. Last month I went back home. Dad asked if I wanted to go to church with him. I didn’t but I went anyway. That old church now has central air conditioning! I didn’t mind it so much. Still, I bought us ice cream on the way home. After all, you can’t break traditions.

You have heard the term “woke up on the wrong side of the bed” before I am sure.

It means that you just woke up grumpy.

Anyway, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning and the day just got worse from there. I could tell I was in a bad mood as soon as my alarm went off. I don’t know why I woke up grumpy but I was. Then I got toothpaste on my blouse, dropped my good cereal bowl, and hit a lot of traffic so I was late for work. Work was uneventful but my mood never improved. To top it all off, when I got home my air conditioner wasn’t working. The house was hot and uncomfortable. I don’t know when the air conditioner stopped working but I am starting to think it might have been last night. That would explain why I woke up grumpy. I didn’t notice it being hot in the house in the morning but it probably was. If it was hot at night then I probably didn’t sleep well. That just set my whole day off wrong. Anyway, the only good thing that happened today was when the HVAC company told me they could come out within 2 hours. Then they actually showed up on time! Then they fixed the air conditioner before bed time. So things are finally starting to look up and my mood is improving. I am hoping that I sleep well tonight with the air conditioner blasting away. Then I will wake up in a better mood tomorrow.

I heard some scratching at the back door.

When I opened it I found a very pregnant hound mix sitting there.

People are always dumping their dogs around here and it makes me so mad. Of course the shelter was closed by this time so I took the dog inside and made her comfortable. She really like my heated floors and seemed to be making a nest for herself in the corner of the living room. I hoped she wouldn’t have her puppies that night but, sure enough, she did just that. I was up all night delivering puppies while sitting on the floor. At least the floor was nice and warm so I was comfortable. Mama dog and her puppies were also comfortable on the heated floor. I turned the heat up a few degrees in the living room inorder to make sure they stayed comfortable. Around 3am all of the puppies were delivered and I finally got some sleep. I just knew I was going to have a very sore back from sitting on the hard floor for half the night. That did not turn out to be the case at all. In fact, when I woke up a few hours later, my back felt perfectly fine. I guess the underfloor heating kept me from getting a sore back. I am grateful for that. Mama dog and puppies were also doing just fine in the morning. I have decided to let them stay. I guess I’m a dog foster parent now. I want to make sure they stay warm and comfortable until the puppies are old enough to find homes of their own.

When I was a child my father and I would consistently stop by this gas station and get a freezing ice cream on the way property from church.

Mom never went to church with us however that is another story.

To be honest, I guess the only reason I went to church with my dad was for that ice cream afterwards. It was consistently boiling and uncomfortable in the church. Always. The church was small and crowded and it had 1 window air conditioner unit. In the Summer it was boiling and uncomfortable; Dad never wanted to rest near the cooling system because you couldn’t hear well if you sat next to the cooling system. I didn’t see that as much of a problem however evidently my father did. My buddy and I consistently sat in the first or second row, then you could hear just nice there, then however, you didn’t get any cool air in those pews. In the winter season months the church was also boiling because the church’s boiler worked beautifully. In fact, it worked too well. I don’t know if it didn’t have a control device or what however it was consistently well over 69 degrees in the church. The boiler would be blasting away while my pal and I sweated and suffered. At least I had a nice cool ice cream to look forward to. winter season or summer, I knew I would get my ice cream for the drive home. That made it all worthwhile! Last month I went back home. Dad asked if I wanted to go to church with him. I didn’t although I went anyway. That seasoned church now has central air conditioner! I didn’t mind it so much. Still, I bought us ice cream on the way home. After all, you can’t split traditions.
