It’s February, Have You Checked the Furnace?
February 11, 2010 Home Care, Uncategorized | 3 Comments »
The kids had already planned that there would be a school delay the night before, so I wasn’t in a rush when I saw on the news that their magical powers had worked. Stepping down the stairs, after my cats had been jumping off and onto my bed between wrestling matches, I began the morning. By the time I hit the bottom stair I knew something was wrong. The smell of oil filled my house and when I opened the cellar door to check on the furnace, it grew worse. Running down the steps to see what the matter was I stopped short into a smokey room. Opened the slider and windows. Turned off the furnace. What is going on?
No fire or further drama ensued. I called my service company. They came and cleaned out my furnace which had become choked with soot. Scary yes. The worst part was the smell though and to get rid of it meant airing out the house. Which I did, opening doors and windows throughout the house. Oh, the temperature? 20-degrees of course, and windy. Good thing we had a delay because none of my kids were getting out from their warm beds. But soon the delay was over and the bus was coming, so they layered on the clothes and came downstairs. Breakfast, lunches, no more hot chocolate, make more tea, brush teeth, coat, backpack, jump in the car, get on the bus. Now for child #2.
That reminds me. To remind you to check your furnace. A typical day in my life, but we could have awoken to something worse. Strange thing was we had had a cleaning back in June. Not cleaned enough I guess. So learn from my story of a cold February morning, to have your furnaces checked and cleaned regularly.
