I was working on a oil furnace last week, plus the owner of the cabin sat on the steps seeing myself and others the entire time… He kept telling me, on the double, appreciate he was a staff sergeant working with his current recruits! I wanted to tell him to stuff his ‘on the double’, however I was the HVAC serviceman plus he was paying me.
I was sure that if I said something to him, he would call the HVAC corporation plus I would be in a lot of trouble.
I held my temper plus continued working on the oil furnace… When I checked the air filter, I almost laughed out loud. I asked the owner when he last changed the air filter in the oil furnace? He looked taken aback plus told myself and others he changed it officially. I showed him the air filter plus said I thought it was time to have the ductwork cleaned if there was this much dirt in a week. It was a laugh out loud moment when he said he changed it officially, but he didn’t say they changed the air filter biweekly. It was just three people in the house, plus he didn’t think it was necessary to change the air filter once a week. I still thought it would be a great system if we were to call the HVAC corporation plus have the ductwork cleaned, even if he had the air filter changed every six weeks, there shouldn’t be this much dirt in the air filter. He agreed with myself and others plus headed upstairs to make the call to the HVAC dealer.
