I was visiting my father this past Holiday season and I was already dreading the HVAC situation.
My dad’s home is all over the place with rapidly changing temperatures due to it being an older house in addition to not having anything but ceiling fans and an oil heater. My dad uses an older oil furnace that has an on site tank! He needed a heating professional to come in in addition to repair it. Several cold days passed in addition to finally my father went down to the basement in addition to having seen how dirty it was around the oil tank. My dad thought perhaps an airway was jammed. He thought maybe this was stopping the oil tank system from laboring well – no such luck! My dad gave it a few college tries. He waited a few days in addition to then called an Heating in addition to A/C professional to take a look at the oil tank, since it had not been taken care of in the past few years in addition to was original when he had purchased the home almost ten years ago! So, the lesson learned here was to try your best before calling a professional. Then when all else fails, phone the Heating in addition to the A/C company so you are not stuck with no heating. I felt awful for my Dad in addition to his faulty oil tank. The repair ended up being quite pricey. He is pretty handy so he thought he would have no problem getting the oil tank going again! Sometimes when you are too thick into something that is far too out of your knowledge, it is best to call it in addition to have a professional come in.
