It had been a tiring day, and I was looking forward to having a relaxing evening at home.
As I enjoyed my dinner, I had a humming sound that turned into hissing. It scared me so much that I thought that there was something in my home. I went to the attic from where the sound originated and established it was the electric HVAC. Turning it off and on from the wireless thermostat would work, but it was not even showing the readings. I checked the energy-saving tips the HVAC supplier had shared with me, and so far, I had followed all the suggestions. I hoped the boiler was not going to malfunction tonight. I contacted the heating business frustrated that the sound from the heat pump installation was messing up my evening. It kept getting louder, and it was irritating me. The HVAC serviceman who answered the phone was very polite and patient with me. He listened to my complaints and asked follow-up questions, including whether I had recently changed the HEPA filter. He explained that the sound could be the air trying to escape from the clogged filters, causing a strain on the heating equipment’s function. He promised to send over a heating technician who would change the filters and run heater maintenance on the electric heating system the following day. He also asked if I had a space heater that I could use for the night if the noise from the electric heat pump was too much. By the time I got off the call with the HVAC specialist, I had calmed down, and it’s funny how my ears had gotten used to the sound. It was a good thing that I did not need to start looking at the HVAC products for sale.
