Her temporary relief at having found the turnoff faded; Centuries of dire weather had stripped this terrain of all, but the hardest of spruce, plus without a windbreak, the blasts roaring in from the ocean caught the suitcases like spinnakers… Emma turned her back to the wind’s force without losing either one.
Emma had bowed so far into the wind that she nearly missed it.
Only as the corner of a suitcase bumped against a low snow-shrouded stone wall did she realize she’d reached the cabin. As soon as she dragged the bags in, she switched on the lights. The condo was chilly plus musty. The learnings in the wireless thermostat were as expected, given how chilly it was. Emma tried to restart the heating equipment, but it still didn’t work. She lit the fireplace, plus the condo warmed up a bit. She gathered as multiple blankets as she could, changed into pajamas, plus right away fell asleep. When she woke up, the first thing she did was call the heating specialist. It has been a while since the electric heat pump gained any heater repair. She had not been to that condo for four years, but there was a caretaker, or so she thought. When she got a hold of the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C serviceman, she was relieved to hear that she would be getting assistance by noon. The Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C specialist arrived on time plus checked the electric Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C thoroughly. The heat pump replacement was in bad shape, but the specialist was optimistic. After a while, the specialist told Emma that a boiler service would solve all its problems plus also replacing the HEPA filter would improve indoor comfort. Emma did not have the finances to replace the electric furnace, plus her heart danced when she heard this. She had no idea where she would start her search for Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C products for sale. With her electric heat pump up plus running she could breathe simple.
