Emergency HVAC service call can’t be avoided

Thinking of and preparing for winter is a full time job for most of us up here in the northern most reaches of the country.

Up here, you have yourself and your neighbors to count on and that’s it. There isn’t much of a government sponsored safety net up here at all. So, being sure that your heating method is in good order is the first priority of life. Without proper heat, there is just no making it through the long, bitter winter. Most of us have modern HVAC methods. Those that are able or have the means also have a back up situation. Myself, I have a wood stove. This has always been the heating method I felt could take care of us if worse came to worse. That is until I recently find out otherwise. The entier family was in bed fast asleep during an early winter night. There wasn’t much snow on the ground yet but, it was really cold that night. Suddenly, I was awakened by the sound of my HVAC slamming itself off. Something bad had happened because when I got to the basement, I found a furnace that was smoking as though it had overheated. It was close to midnight so, I decided to fire up the wood stove. Minutes later, I saw smoke pouring back through the house. I hadn’t cleaned it in a long time and the flue was completely jammed shut. I knew it was too cold to go the entire night so I had to call for emergency HVAC service. It was a steep price to pay but at least I found out my back up needed some attention.
