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 absolutely don’t cherish 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 everyone have to drink themselves through. Personally, I am much happier having no celebration connected to any particular afternoon of the year. The only exception being… Halloween. I enjoy 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 boiler and cooling system component in my apartment for the past 10 years. All of the air-handling devices are connected via extensive HVAC duct that circulate to the high-priced treated air effectively throughout the entire home. Or, at least I thought that my heating and cooling system was effectively circulating high-priced 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 furnace completely broke down. I Was preparing for a massive Halloween party with all of my friends when it started to get drafty and cold inside my house. At first, I thought maybe some dark spirits were playing tricks on me, however it turns out that my boiler had failed. Thank God, the heating, cooling, and air quality control worker arrived quickly and was in the holiday spirit as he fixed my heating device. He even dressed up.
