I’m currently in the process of working on Mrs. Swanson’s furnace. She called me about an hour ago saying her furnace was making a ticking noise and she wasn’t getting any heat. Of Course, I’m glad to help her but I’m still recovering from a long drive back home from a 2 week vacation I just had with my wife and kids. I didn’t expect to be on call as an HVAC technician as soon as I got back home from vacation. I really thought I’d have time to unpack, relax and just watch tv until I went to bed tonight. I’m surprised that my brother, John, who is my twin brother, also HVAC technician who owns the heating and cooling business with me, hasn’t called me yet asking how my vacation went. Regardless, I’m here working on Mrs. Swansons furnace and I figured out the issue. The spark ignitor went bad so it was an easy replacement to fix. As I was finishing up putting tools in my truck, the neighbor Charlie came up to me and asked if I knew anything about smart thermostats. I told him that I can answer any questions he may have. But first, let me tell Mrs. Swanson that I completed her repair. Mrs. Swanson was thankful and wanted to have a small conversation about my vacation but I told her we will have to have that conversation another time. I have Charlie, your neighbor outside wanting to discuss a smart thermostat. I’m sure he is thinking about getting one installed. I really don’t want to do any other jobs today.
