Oil Burner Story
Story about a few years/decades ago.
Oil hot air fan system.
Was about 10 years old at time.
Sunday. In January.
No heat.
Called oil company.
The owner of oil company came over Sunday night.
Checked everything.
Stated that I needed a new system.
That - Monday morning - next day - he would send his crew over to take out old and put in new system. Complete unit.
For many thousands of dollars.
Not knowing anything about heating systems at that time. I agreed.
AND or BUT
Upon walking upstairs from basement. I suggested that we check the thermostat. The old type Honeywell round one with mercury inside.
Low and behold. The thermostat was inoperative. Broken - inoperative - not working thermostat. Replaced thermostat right then and there.
Replaced thermostat and all worked perfectly. It was my suggestion to check thermostat.
Go figure ! ! !
