I got my 1st no heat call this morning. My standard reply is to have the tenant send me a pic of the thermostat and furnace switch. Sure enough the tstat needed batteries. At least it was early in the day on Friday and not after hours or the typical weekend call, where they say I didn't want to bother you, lol --24.29.xx.xx

Summer though - if the AC goes out, it's a catastrophe. --173.28.xx.xxx

And, of course, I married my opposite. He’s been wearing his thick flannel shirt jackets and a knitted hat while working in his office for two weeks now. And, his office generally is warmer because of all the computer equipment. He turned the house heat on this week. Probably because we are currently without any beagles to sit at his feet and warm him. But, we’re fixing that soon. ( I’ll pet them for you; we should be getting a bonded pair soon.) --172.59.xx.xx

WMH-A business partner of mine owns a small heat and AC company, he says people are way worse about losing AC than heat,middle of winter if he says he cant get there till tomorrow they say ok no problem, AC goes out and he cant get there till tomorrow and they freak out on him on the phone --38.248.xx.xxx

45 here this a.m. Central Virginia. We've already had a tenant send photos of wires burned on an electric furnace. Same one 2 years ago same time of year. HVAC said it was relay switch. IDK, I get a bad feel about it. --216.126.xx.xxx

For all you southeners out there, it went to 32F or lower especially across the tug hill plateau. --64.246.xxx.xx

September along with weeks in October it was like summer weather where did not need heat at all. Here August is slow month for HVAC contractors as the shift from Air Conditioning to heating occurs in middle of September where it good time to heating and air conditioning checked along test to be sure the system works along checking the combustion and venting of boiler or furnace. In the apartment had a Tekmar electronic control system connected to high efficiency gas boiler along with indirect hot water tank. There is outside sensor where set the outside temperature on control to 10 degrees Celsius approximately 50 F imperial. So on the warmer days and nights the heat would turn off along with main circulation pump. For a indirect hot water tank domestic hot priority is required as heat is turned off for 10 to 20 minutes then once the indirect hot tank reaches set temperature the boilers are purged of heat then the boilers slowly fire to maximum then slowly go down as heating loop temperature goes up where firing order gradually goes down then one boiler shuts off then the other boiler fires at minimum rate. The less wear and tear along with spring and fall the cost of Tekmar electronic is paid off in less then heating season. --216.110.xxx.xxx

I pulled it and got a battery free version for her. She didn't like it but I don't get calls about batteries from her any more. --47.248.xxx.xxx

We've had a few issues over the year over what's AUTO vs. what's ON. HVAC guys have told us it happens ALL the time. So keep that in your back pocket - be sure to ask Tenant to check settings or send a photo before you run out or have someone else run out. --173.28.xx.xxx
