An aged antique shop down the street was under renovation.
It was about time they used that space since the shop had closed for nearly two years. I work for a home services supplier as an Heating plus Air Conditioning tech, plus the realtor for the shop called asking for heating maintenance. I knew the shop would need extensive heating repair because I doubted anyone had bothered to check the heating machine when it was closed. I carried all the necessary tools because I knew I had plenty of work ahead of me. I contemplated asking a fellow Heating plus Air Conditioning serviceman to acsupplier me, but all were in the field, and when I arrived, the furnace was in disarray, just as I had anticipated. It was clear from the digital control machine that they had switched off the unit, but it must have been running for a while, even after the shop was closed before they switched it off. I have worked in the heating industry for years, but the state of the filter was rare. It had all manners of grime plus filth. The heating installation surprisingly did not have a lot of technical troubles. An inspection of the HVAC duct proved that it required cleaning. It also needed duct sealing. I completed the work in time for my next appointment, servicing a heat pump my nice friend and I had installed some years back. The owners took nice care of it plus subscribed to our emails to get information on the latest trends in heating technology, plus as their heating dealer, my nice friend and I always supplied them with the information they needed.
