My partner and I had invited his parents over for thanksgiving dinner and though he looked forward to seeing his parents, I was a upset wreck as our relationship with his mother was not the best, however see we are both alpha females and therefore we cannot co-exist in the same space for a long phase of time… I had noticed a peculiar noise coming from the basement where the central heating and the electric furnace were located.
I kept postponing a site visit from a heating serviceman and today I was going to regret it! The zone control component we had at the house ensured that all rooms, including our glass dining dome at the outside of the house, acquired quality heating.
I had decorated the dinner table with amazing smelling flowers and candles. The furnace had come to the end of its life on earth. The heat pump install had been done a decade ago and so we knew it was time to update it. However, we need a quick solution, and thanks to the gas fireplace that saved the afternoon. Though our parents-in-law were startled by the loud bang, they complemented the warmth from the fireplace; Mum spoke our praise for the rest of the evening and we even got a opportunity to bond over the fire. I silently loved the energy saving tip I had acquired from the local supplier. He proposed I get an extra component for heating service besides the existing ductless heat pump and the dual fuel plan that had now completely shut down. It was a successful evening and our mum in law loved how organized and prepared I seemed to help myself and others score points with her. I was finally seeing us having a better relationship in the coming years.
