This was a reminder to me that I needed to make an appointment for my annual Heating and A/C checkup at my own home
My buddy reminds me of those film characters that go overboard on Christmas lights, and you know the type, they are usually in competition with others around them to prove they can have the most impressive light display around. He spends months before planning and stringing lights in preparation for the sizable lighting event. This year, I observed that each time he inspected the light display, his power in the home seemed to go out. I figured that he had finally added too numerous lights and it was overloading the system… When I went to talk to him and see if he needed help he said that he had been having electrical problems for numerous months. I advocated that he have a professional come in to test his system before he had an electrical fire! The following week I saw numerous trucks in his driveway, including an Heating and A/C company van. I went over to check t out and my buddy told me that when everything was checked, it was found that his Heating and A/C system had a short in it. The lights being plugged in were wonderful by themselves, but, when the system turned on while they were lit, it was tripping the main breaker. The serviceman said that it was a wonderful thing he had called and that once it was repaired, his annual Christmas display of lights should work just fine. This was a reminder to me that I needed to make an appointment for my annual Heating and A/C checkup at my own home. It is frightening to feel what may have happened if the short had caused a fire at my neighbors home, but i wanted the peace of mind that my system was working wonderful for the season.
