We ordered a new heat exchanger from the local heating provider as well as a dozen HEPA filters to help improve the air quality within the house.
My parents had been calling me for a week now, complaining about their boiler. It had been having issues for weeks and they needed help with indoor comfort. The quality of their comfort had drastically deteriorated gradually and now they felt they needed help. I, on the other hand, was busy with the heating corporation that I had started three years back. The company had just turned three and we were running a sale. I was busy making sure that all my heating dealers had enough stock to last them through the sale. The digital thermostat and heat pumps had been the biggest sellers and it seemed that this year was not going to be any different. I finally arranged to make that 2hour drive to my parents’ house. Their dual fuel system was in a pretty bad state, another day of it running would have been disastrous to the house. The heat exchanger on the quality HVAC equipment was covered in rust and parts of it were completely eaten away by the rust. If we waited longer, the entire unit would have burst into flames. We ordered a new heat exchanger from the local heating provider as well as a dozen HEPA filters to help improve the air quality within the house. The heating industry had changed so much and now we even had systems such as heated floors that were quickly becoming a favorite whole-home heating system. The boiler installation at my parents’ house had been done just five years back and so there was no need for a completely new HVAC system. I insisted to my parents the importance of regular heating services like executing heating tune-ups once every year to repair any worn-out parts and service the system as a whole.
