I am constantly on the lookout for libraries and bookstores due to my passion for education.
I met a schoolmate in the learning club who invited me to visit her grandparents, who had introduced her to the world of education. The libraries I’ve visited have excellent heating, but when I visited the home where my neighbor spent her formative years, I discovered the most efficient furnace I’ve ever encountered. My friend and I planned to stay for the weekend. When my friend and I entered the residence, its cleanliness was the first thing that struck me. The floor was warm, and it wasn’t the carpet. Grandpa Ola spent time in the library and witnessed my reaction. He just mentioned hydronic heating. I’m not sure how it transpired, but I struck up a conversation with the grandfather about heat and air conditioning product details for their home and how he had always ensured they received timely HVAC service. Another of his grandchildren was an HVAC technician who introduced them to the furnace/heater upgrade known as hybrid heating. He was impressed with how the technology combined the heat pump and the furnace to create specialized equipment. Intriguingly, the furnace repair was scheduled for that weekend, and the family heating company expert was scheduled to visit for this purpose; I had the opportunity to meet him. I joined him for a boiler repair in the city for a family’s next-door neighbor, who also employed his services, because he was as impressive as my grandfather had said. This is the brief story I will tell my teenagers about how I met their father, who is currently my business partner.
