Matthieu told me he had called the local business for the furnace/heater repair.
- My central heating system had technical issues because all the hot water faucets, including the shower, had cold water.
It also did not help that I had to replace the furnace filter more often because of the illegal things Mathieu smoked in my house while I was at work. He thought I did not know, but a neighbor had informed me, and there was also an after smell that not even the best air freshener could mask. By late afternoon, I was convinced that Mathieu had not made that call because the local contractor had yet arrived. Just when I was about to make that call, I heard the doorbell, and on opening, it was the heating service provider. I told him all the new heating problems we were facing due to the malfunction and added that we needed heater maintenance because it had been two years since we had one. After I finished, he told me we must have called the wrong dealer because their local business specializes in geo heat pumps. I was furious because this was yet another time that Mathieu proved unreliable. Despite the confusion, I apologized to the man, who was kind enough to offer space heater service. He also fine-tuned the digital thermostat. He finished and told me more about HVAC, especially geothermal systems. By the time the serviceman left, he had restored quality heating, and I had learned more about heating. I also learned new energy-saving help tips that would work on my heating device. It was also high time that I kicked Mathieu out of my apartment. He had leached on me long enough. I had to reclaim my place and get rid of a man who had turned me into his mother.
