When Your Furnace Decides to Take a Winter Vacation
The Cold, Hard Truth About Heating Emergencies
Ever notice how your furnace seems to have an uncanny sense of timing? It’s like it checks the weather forecast and thinks, “Hmm, it’s going to be minus 2 degrees tonight… perfect time for a polar vortex vacation!”
Here in Grand Rapids, Walker, Grandville, and Jenison, we’ve seen it all when it comes to heating mishaps. You know the scene: It’s the coldest night of the year, you’re snuggled up watching Netflix, and suddenly your furnace makes a sound that can only be described as a possessed washing machine meeting a rusty trombone.
Signs Your Heating System is Planning Its Retirement:
- It’s making noises that would put a heavy metal band to shame
- Your energy bill looks more like a phone number
- The only warm spot in your house is directly above the toaster
- Your cat has started wearing a sweater (voluntarily)
