When Your Furnace Gives You the Cold Shoulder A Guide to Winter Survival in Napa Valley
The Silent Treatment from Your Heating System
Let’s face it: your furnace has a worse sense of timing than your mother-in-law. It’s always on its best behavior during those mild autumn days when you could practically heat your home with a scented candle, but the moment temperatures plummet in American Canyon or Calistoga, it decides to go on strike.
The Drama Queen of Home Appliances
Your furnace is like that one friend who loves attention at the most inconvenient times. You know the type – they only create drama when you’re hosting a dinner party or trying to impress your boss. Similarly, your heating system seems to develop a mysterious ailment precisely when the weather forecast predicts the coldest night of the year in St. Helena.
Signs Your Furnace is Planning its Retirement
Here are some telltale signs your heating system is plotting its dramatic exit:
• It makes more noise than a jazz band in a library
• It’s producing less heat than a teenager’s cold shoulder
• Your energy bills are higher than Napa Valley’s finest wine prices
• The pilot light is playing hide-and-seek more often than not
