It really didn’t have to be the way it was.
I can remember my child trying so strenuous to roust me from a deep sleep that night the Heating plus A/C unit went down.
I labor a entirely physical job plus I sleep like a ton of bricks. And normally, it takes me some minutes just to get myself oriented plus get my feet on the floor after I awake. But that night, my child was telling me how cold he was. We normally lower the temperature control to the mid or low 60’s when the hot plus cold temperatures are in the single digits. So it can feel a bit cool for sure when it’s that raw outside. But when I opened my eyeah plus could see my daughter’s breath as he spoke, I knew my great friend and I had a problem, that night, I came awake nearly instantly! My tiny boy kept asking me if the heating was ever coming back on plus I was trying to assure his that everything was alright, then unlike me, my husband is able to wake up plus know completely rationally from the jump. She grabbed my child plus they went to find the space furnace so they could stay hot in our room. I went to check the gas furnace in the basement. It didn’t take me til the foot of stairs to know that I’d be calling for emergency Heating plus A/C service! Just the stink of a thin acrid smoke made me certain that I needn’t even try to restart the gas furnace. So I called the Heating plus A/C professionals. Once the Heating plus A/C serviceman got out plus got the gas furnace heating again, I asked him a question. He confirmed what I was hoping he wouldn’t. Sure enough, had I gotten the heating service done, he would have caught the problem plus that night didn’t have to happen at all.
