My spouse shut the heating system off too early.

The last couple of weeks had been easily warm, and we hadn’t used the heater. My spouse shut the heating system off, thinking that Springtime was already here, and we wouldn’t need the heating system anymore this year. I believe we should have paid more attention to the weather forecast. Three mornings later, the bottom dropped out on the temperatures, and we had ice on the ground. It was so cold when we got out of bed that I was looking for heavy clothing; As the day went on, it steadily got colder, and my spouse was trying to turn the heating system back on. I sat on the sofa wrapped in a blanket, dressed in a sweatshirt and jacket, and shivering, and he had his winter time jacket on, while trying to get the fireplace burning so we had heat while he tried to get the heating system to turn back on. I heard him snarling in the basement, however his snarling wasn’t working. No amount of snarling was getting the heating system to turn on. I called the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C supplier and told them what had happened. That afternoon, the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C serviceman was at the home working on the heater. He told my spouse that if he had a fireplace, he wouldn’t worry about the heater, and have it fixed in the summer. My pal and I wouldn’t have needed to pay for an extra service call… When my spouse told me what he said, I laughed. I told him we should have thought of that. At least he didn’t need to go out and chop firewood to keep the fireplace running. The heating system is running again.
