I’ve been living in the North for a few years now and so I have a good heating technician now, but it took me a really long time to find someone! There are technicians out there that really try to scam you and make you think you are getting a great service when you aren’t. Because the service is so high in demand, some heating companies will just hire anyone off of the street that doesn’t actually have the proper training, so it can be really discouraging to trust the technicians that you meet. I had some technicians come make promises to me and then ask me questions on how to service my own heater! The only silver lining is that during the process of finding a reliable and trustworthy technician, I was able to do my own research and figure out some basic techniques to repair or maintain my heater. It took me a long time but I finally found a really great heating company and all of the technicians I’ve met have been amazing to work with. It makes me really happy to find humble and helpful companies that really care about taking care of people and their home. Having a home in the North is not easy and there is so much that goes into taking care of the space. I’m lucky that my partner has been so helpful and a great teammate to helping us take care of the house. I’m glad that we’ve finally found a good rhythm and can enjoy the bliss of living in the colder climate!
