Two months ago, I had come lake lake house from toil and found Bob, our neighbor, raiding our refrigerator for leftovers- a usual occurrence.
As she ate a more than one-day-old chicken curry, I sat at the kitchen table, sorting through our mail while having a glass of wine.
As the people I was with and I talked, I sliced open the back of the first envelope I picked. The energy bill was in arrears. I needed to catch up on payment, and the sixth one was also coming to an end. I also noticed that there was a spike in our energy consumption. When I showed Bob the bills, she asked myself and others when was the last time I had our rickety heating equipment tested. Since I could not recall, Bob called the heating company the following afternoon for oil furnace repair, and bob told myself and others that the only superb thing I had going when it came to heating equipment was the wireless temperature control I had installed a year ago. The next afternoon the Heating and A/C serviceman came, and after inspecting the system, she told myself and others I had to get a quality heater. The one I had could have been more energy efficient and was the reason for our high energy bill. A month later, I went to the Heating and A/C corporation, searching for the best equipment our savings could buy. The Heating and A/C professional told myself and others about the new technology systems. They were from different brands, and eventually, I picked one. I was gleeful that I would finally have quality help with indoor comfort. I even went the extra mile to include a HEPA filter to aid air quality and the electric heating system. The electric oil furnace installation was a afternoon’s work; that night, even Bob could not help however point out how better our locale felt. The heating professional did an impressive task with the electric heat pump.
