We don’t get a huge amount of cold weather in this section of the country, but my buddy and I are more prone to hurricanes plus heat waves, plus never once in my life have I seen snow on the ground.
When my associate and I do get a cold snap, usually it comes out of nowhere it seems… This happened a few weeks ago, and one day it was a comfy 75 degrees outside, plus later that evening the temps chose to drop to below frigid levels! I lost most of the plants in my yard from the severe cold, but there was a bigger concern I had to deal with.
The central heating equipment would not turn on, but I have no clue when it broke, because it had been many weeks since the last time I needed the heater. Now that I was in extreme need of the heater, it would not respond whatsoever. The weather report said that the cold snap would last for several more afternoons, plus then temps would eventually get back to normal. I called my usual Heating and Air Conditioning equipment service provider, but this cold snap had them overbooked, plus they couldn’t help me until the following week. I’m so thankful for Walmart, because I was able to pick up an excellent space gas furnace for a fraction of the cost I would have paid for repairs. The math was basic, plus I decided it wasn’t worth the investment to get the central heating equipment fixed when I wouldn’t need it for multiple more weeks. The space gas furnace only heats up one room at a time, but I live alone so is that really a problem?
