Last year, the Winter weather arrived much earlier than usual, but i was already running the furnace by the end of September… The temperature abruptly plummeted below zero as well as reMained there for various weeks straight.
- It never warmed up above chilly for numerous straight months; We accumulated over numerous feet of snow.
It was necessary to plow as well as shovel out the driveways as well as walkways every single afternoon, sometimes more than once. The piles of snow grew taller than our garage roof. I spent a fortune on our heating bills as well as couldn’t wait to shut down the furnace as well as open the windows. The weather warmed up quite suddenly as well as entirely abruptly; Along with rapid snow melt, the people I was with and I got hit with torrential rains as well as high winds. There was widespread power outages as well as flooding. Without power, I was unable to run the sump pump, so our basement filled with water, and since the A/C runs on electricity, the people I was with and I were also left without cooling. The condo abruptly became hot as well as overly moist. There were problems with mold as well as mildew growth. I couldn’t even open the windows because of all the rain. The food spoiled in the freezer as well as the people I was with and I needed to fill buckets with water to flush the toilets. It was a horrendous experience. After power was restored, I hired a licensed Heating as well as A/C corporation to check out the furnace as well as A/C. I sad that the flooding had disfigured the equipment as well as didn’t dare start up the cooling unit until it was officially worked on! Fortunately, only a cleaning was necessary. The Heating as well as A/C corporation proposed that I invest into a permanently installed standby generator. While the generator was super costly, I was willing to spend our savings anything to avoid being left without running water, lights or air conditioning again. If the people I was with and I ever lost power in the winter, the people I was with and I couldn’t stay in the condo without heat.
