My brother finally called for heating repair in Morris County NJ and now our heater is fixed after one year. The heater stopped working in the middle of last year, but we didn’t have the money to get it fixed, especially with all the money that was used on Christmas gifts. We had to brave out the cold weather with our thickest blankets and sweaters. I had never worn a scarf and earmuffs indoors until the heater broke. The worst part about the whole thing was stepping out of the shower into the cold air. Even when you dry all of the water from your body, you still feel pretty cold in the air.
A repair man came and gave the heater a diagnostic and determined that a motor had worn out and needed to be replaced. He pulled out a motor from his truck and immediately got to work. The repair man got a lot of dust on his face and clothes working around in that old garage to fix the heater. He looked like he had come out of a dust storm when he was done making the repairs. My brother turned on the thermostat, and the heater was as good as new.
While the repair man was still there, my brother asked him if he could install a new thermostat into his home. He wanted something a little more up to date than the old dial he had been using for so many years. He bought a thermostat that can be controlled by a smart phone and even through the Internet. The repair man installed the thermostat and then went on his way. My brother loved the new thermostat, because he no longer had to get out of bed to control it. He could just pick up his phone and start the app.
