It was a mistake that I won’t repeat
Most people think that because I live in Terrell, Texas the weather doesn’t get that cold. They are wrong. We do get below-freezing temperatures and experience snow. A heating system is necessary. I own a gas furnace to combat the cold season. It is a vital piece of equipment for us Texans. I make sure to get my furnace serviced every year. One year I started thinking about how necessary it must be. I then decided that it wasn’t. So I skipped my annual service appointment and went into the winter season with it unclean and unchecked. That was a huge mistake. My furnace immediately started making loud operational noises during the cold season. It also threatened not to turn on a few times. Once I started feeling hot and cold spots around the house, I knew I had a problem. I called for a Terrell, TX furnace repair right out. The guy arrived, cleaned, tightened, and oiled my furnace blower. He informed me that I had a worn part inside. If I would have done the heating service, I could have caught it before it became a problem. Instead, I got to the point of a large repair and experienced higher-than-usual energy bills. It was a mistake that I won’t repeat. I don’t want to deal with furnace repairs during the winter. It is costly, and stressful and can easily be avoided if I do the smart thing. Never again will I fail to call for an annual furnace service in Terrell, Texas.
