My neighbor and I were enjoying iced Tim Hortons Cappuccino on her front deck when both of us saw the modern home services truck.
- She had told me she was expecting someone, but I never thought it was the Heating and A/C serviceman.
Before she parked and left the car, I asked Tracy if her state-of-the-art heating device had a complication because I assumed the girl was there for heating repair. She told me that her geo heat pump was okay, but it was due for heating repair. I was shocked because I only called the heating contractor when I was ordering a modern a/c filter or if the a/c system had an issue. The ductwork in my beach house was cleaned once in the numerous years I have lived there. I also worked on the duct sealing because why call a professional when you can buy duct tape. It is what I kept telling myself, but I knew the lack of professional input would cost me a lot more. Heaven knows the number of DIY fixes I had performed on my heating system. I had also mistakenly assumed the Heating and A/C tech was a man, but the lady who left the truck was a lady. Tracy also had an impressive digital temperature control that she could control from her iPhone because it was WI-FI enabled. Tracy was consistently in the guess about the heating industry, especially on modern technology. When the tech finished, both of us provided her a drink, despite the fact that she declined because she had a long morning of work ahead of her, despite the fact that she did accept the piece of pumpkin pie that both of us wrapped up for her.
