It was getting hotter by the minute, and given how cold it was outside, and I was almost sure I was developing a fever.
- A fellow workmate came to bring me some documents and commented on how the temperature was rising by the minute.
The minute he said that I knew I was not the problem, so I headed to the smart thermostat. I am not a heating technician, but I tried to reset it, and unfortunately, the temperature started rising again after a few minutes. I was unsure if the maintenance team had called for help, but I went ahead and called the heating dealer that generally did the heating maintenance at the office. The heating business took their time because the HVAC professional arrived around lunchtime, but they had informed me that every tech they had was out in the field. After a thorough inspection of the heat pump, he found the problem. I accompanied the repairman to learn more about heating and other things I needed to learn about the heating industry. The heating repair took a shorter time than when I had my whole home heating serviced. I was glad we finally had help with indoor comfort. That day after work, I drove two hours to my parents to spend the weekend with them because I had not seen them for a while, and I also wanted to see the much-talked-about new heating equipment. They were so excited that they called via video call on the day of the heat pump installation and on the day they reached the heating company to install a fireplace in their home. I was so happy to see that they were so happy now. Earlier that year, they had sold their big home in favor of a smaller house since it was now just the two.
