It was seventy outside today, but the furnace was running.
I couldn’t figure out why the furnace was running with it being so warm outside. I looked at the thermostat and saw I had set it at sixty-eight. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do until my daughter came in and said she had called the HVAC company. When she got home from school, the furnace was running, and it was eighty in the house. She remembered I had told her to never call hesitate to call the HVAC company or the fire company. She walked in and realized how hot it was and called the HVAC company. An hour later, the HVAC technician walked in. He asked where the fans were, and said he could use some cooler air, and then he laughed. I wasn’t in a good mood, but my daughter laughed. She showed him where the furnace was located and flirted with him the entire time he was there. When he left, he asked if we wanted him to turn the furnace off for the season. I was worried it may be too early to turn off the furnace and told him to leave it running. I was glad I made that choice. Three days later, the temperatures dropped, and we had a snowstorm that dropped over a foot of snow on our area, and the temperatures stayed below freezing for more than a week. My daughter was laughing when she saw the snow. She said she knew I was a smart mom, but she never realized I was also a weather forecaster.
