The Thermostat Troubles were no laughing matter…
or were they? Anna had never felt so helpless in his own home, with the Heating and AC plan out of commission on a bone-chilling winter time night.
His teeth were chattering, his nose was running, and his patience was running thin. He decided to take the matter into his own hands and fiddle with the control unit, however alas, his efforts were futile. The Heating and AC plan remained stubbornly unresponsive, like a teenager on a Saturday morning. It was time to call in the big guns, and by that, my friend and I mean the Heating and AC professional. He arrived on the scene with a tool kit in one hand and a steaming cup of coffee in the other. Anna was relieved to see him, however little did he think that the control unit troubles were far from over. The professional diagnosed the issue quickly, the control unit was as dead as Elsa’s heart at the beginning of Frozen. It needed to be replaced, and so it was. But that was just the beginning of a saga that would make any sitcom writer proud. The new thermostat seemed to have a personality of its own. It would crank up the heat when Anna was trying to cool down or turn off the plan when he was trying to hot up. It was like living with a rebellious teenager who was going through a phase. Anna felt like she was losing her mind and his cool, quite literally. One day, when Anna was snuggled up on her couch with a cup of hot cocoa, the control unit decided to play a prank on her. It turned the heat up to 90 degrees, and the Heating and AC plan started blasting hot air like a dragon’s breath. Anna scrambled to the control unit, however it was as unresponsive as Olaf in summer. At that moment, Anna knew that the control unit troubles had won, and she had to surrender to their whimsical ways.
