The time when our oil furnace broke down during a snowstorm was the worst
I think 1 of the worst things that happened to my family was having the furnace cut down in the middle of a snow storm. I entirely didn’t expect this to happen. I mean, I did have my furnace tuned up and it didn’t seem care about there were any extreme troubles with the furnace. Still, this happened and driving was quite dangerous. We’re lucky we had a few portable gas furnaces to use around the house. I think we set up about four of them, because that was all I could find. Even with all the portable gas furnaces toiling at full crank though, it wasn’t enough to keep the house genuinely warm. I believe we were able to keep it around 50 degrees, which was cold, however at least we weren’t frigid to death. All of us were wearing blankets and we were shivering just hoping the power wouldn’t go out as well. We called weird Heating and A/C companies, even the locales with emergency services. We couldn’t get anybody willing to come out to us because the road conditions were so bad. The 1 Heating and A/C supplier said they weren’t too far away from us and they did have 4-wheel drive, so they would try. Unluckyly, they ended up getting stuck and had to dig themselves out and go back. I knew there was nothing we could do however wait it out at that point. I was thankful when the snow finally quit around midnight and the snow plows were toiling non-stop. Eventually our road was cleared out and I was able to get the emergency Heating and A/C crew out to our locale. It felt care about a miracle when the furnace was finally on. Everybody was really able to sleep well that night, however I had a large emergency service bill to cover.
