Hassan contacted the Heating & A/C business and asked if they could tell him what’s wrong with the gas furnace? The man laughed, and then he said that was what the Heating & A/C business was for.
Hassan took a breath and said that wasn’t what he meant to say.
He wanted to know if they had an Heating & A/C specialist available that could tell him what’s wrong with the gas furnace. He said they had 3 that were on the road, but neither were close to his beach house. If Hassan didn’t mind waiting an hour, he had another Heating & A/C specialist who would be on duty, and he could send him to the beach house directly. Hassan thanked him, and provided him with all the information so the Heating & A/C specialist would know where he lived, with the full name and address. When the Heating & A/C specialist arrived, he told Hassan he was there to diagnose his gas furnace. The dispatcher had told him this was his first job for the day. Hassan showed him to the gas furnace room, and he told him the furnace would not turn on. He said it wasn’t frosty outside, and maybe the temperature control temperature was set too low to trigger the furnace turning on. Hassan told him he knew nothing about gas furnaces, and if he could do something to get some heat in the beach house, he would be cheerful. He went downstairs and looked at the gas furnace. The specialist told Hassan he found the problem. He didn’t know why, but the breaker switch had flipped, and the gas furnace wasn’t getting any power. He fixed the breaker and said everything should function well now.
