When my heater went out last winter it was the last thing I would have ever expected to have. All I know is that I had went to bed all warm and toasty. As comfortable as I could possibly be, however when I woke up to feeling was completely different. I woke up and I managed to throw the covers completely off of me in my sleep. The moment I was aware of the coldness touching my skin I felt my entire body I immediately reached for my covers only to see if they had fallen off the side of the bed or onto the floor. As soon as I sat up to pick them up off the floor I took a breath and I could see my breath! If it was so cold I guess my breath inside the house I knew something was very very wrong. The first thing I did was very quickly grabbed my jacket and put on a thicker pair of pants. Then I ran out into the living room to see what was going on with the thermostat. Obviously something wasn’t working perfect thermostat if I was this cold and my assumptions were correct. Because the moment that I got out into the living room and took a look at the thermostat I saw that it was saying that it was 60 degrees in the house! I couldn’t believe it I tried everything I could try to get my heater to work. I have a smart thermostat so I tried turning it on for my phone, I tried pressing the buttons on the thermostat manually, I tried turning it off and back on again and nothing that I tried worked. I was so upset my heater was busted! So I did what anybody would have to do in this situation and I called emergency HVAC services. When the heating and cooling guy arrived he told me that it was my thermostat that was actually broken and not my heater which gave me some relief. It’s much easier to replace the thermostat than it is replacing a heater.
