Sometimes it is best to just let the professionals handle things, but even though I know this, that doesn’t stop me from wanting to take matters into our own hands every now and then, a great example is with our gas furnace.
This particular gas furnace system is about 5 years old and is doing a great job with heating our home. For a long time, I didn’t have any concerns with it, because of our slender schedule for service and tune ups, however, it was bound for problems to arise eventually. I observed one cold Winter day, that our beach house was not warming up love it should have been. My gas furnace every time I would go to turn it on, would make a strange noise and then shut off. I did a bit of research on what could cause the issue, and I even managed to take apart the gas furnace… One of the parts had gone bad, and so I went to buy another one. I found what I thought was the section online, and so I purchased it. It arrived a few afternoons later, and just as I was about to install it, I had a feeling I should look again, and I’m glad I did, but when I looked at the section again, it turns out I had purchased the wrong one. If I had put the wrong section in our heater, it actually would’ve killed it. I’m glad I checked again, and I decided to let the air conditioner and heating professionals handle it from there.
