My friend owned a massage parlor, but before, she had worked there as a masseuse for several years.
When the owner retired, she sold the business to my friend, Clara.
She loved her business and had invested a lot to make the store’s interior as welcoming as possible. The interior needed to make the customers feel at home and comfortable. The indoor HVAC system at the parlor had started acting up. The temperature kept fluctuating and was doing little to help with indoor comfort. The HVAC was making unusual noises when left on for a while. Even the customers complained about the low-quality heating at the parlor. Clara was starting to lose customers, and it affected her business. She came into the heating business offices seeking assistance. I assigned a heating technician to go over to the parlor and run heater maintenance. The HVAC repairman’s verdict on the system was that no boiler repair could salvage it. The heat exchanger had a crack and was covered in rust, affecting the unit’s optimal function. With the help of an expert, Clara went through various heat and AC products to pick the best one for her business. She had a hydronic heating system supplemented by a furnace in her home, so she opted for a ductless heat pump since it would save space because it does not have vents. The furnace/heater installation was done early before opening time. The servicemen were very efficient and managed to share some of the essential service requirements and taught them more about the heater. They also got a new smart thermostat that would make it easier to reset temperatures for the best indoor comfort. With time all the clients who had stopped going there slowly came back. It also reminded me that I needed to take better care of my hybrid heating system, so I called the heating dealership and scheduled HVAC maintenance.
