My dad is one of those people who can fix just about anything.
I can remember him fixing all sorts of things when I was growing up. We never hired a plumber, electrician, mechanic, or contractor. My dad fixed and built everything. The only thing that he said he did not mess with was HVAC units. My mom always encouraged him to try and fix them because she knew that he could do it if he tried, but I think he was a little afraid of the unknown. He never touched an HVAC unit until this month. The furnace in my husband’s and my house started having some pretty bad issues, and it was not keep the house warm. It was down to forty-five degrees in our house at one point. My husband doesn’t know anything about fixing furnaces, so he did not know what to do. We did not have the money to call an HVAC company, so we were sort of stuck. My dad heard that our furnace was giving us trouble, and he knew that we did not have enough money to have a professional fix it, so he came over and looked at it. He was able to figure out what was wrong, and after doing some research online, he fixed our furnace. I was so proud of him. My mom brags on him every time we see her now. She always knew that he could fix HVAC units because he can basically fix anything that he puts his mind to. I am so glad to have a working furnace once again, and I am glad that my dad overcame his fear of working on HVAC units as well.
