I don’t know about you, but I am not a big fan of national holidays.
When people start talking about Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter… I start panicking. I really don’t enjoy getting together with all of my family members and forcing ourselves to have elaborate meals together. The entire thing is one long, torturous process that most people have to drink themselves through. Personally, I’m much happier having no celebration connected to any particular day of the year. The only exception being… Halloween. I love Halloween more than anything. Unfortunately, this year my Halloween got extra spooky with help from my heating, cooling, and air quality control devices. I have been running the same forced air furnace and air conditioning unit in my home for the past 10 years. All of the air-handling devices are connected via extensive ductwork that circulate to the expensive treated air effectively throughout the entire home. Or, at least I thought that my heating and cooling system was effectively circulating expensive indoor treated air. It turns out, my heating and cooling devices have been running at subpar efficiency levels for quite a bit. Unfortunately, I didn’t know this until Halloween, when my heating system completely broke down. I Was preparing for a massive Halloween party with all of my friends when it started to get drafty and chilly inside my house. At first, I thought maybe some dark spirits were playing tricks on me, but it turns out that my furnace had failed. Thank God, the heating, cooling, and air quality control technician arrived quickly and was in the holiday spirit as he fixed my heating device. He even dressed up.
