View Full Version : 82° today and I get a no heat call!
Little old lady with a busted ignitor on her Carrier. Wouldn't ya know, I didn't have one. Had to drive through 3 miles of Chicago rush-hour traffic to get one from another tech. Just charged her the minimum service call and for the part. No extra travel time or anything. We're Carrier dealers. I should've had this on my truck.
Oh well, all's well that ends well :)

Me too, broken pump coupler. I still haven't figured why the boiler was on. Mabe they got cold from the a/c.
had one last week, 85 out the warmest day so far of the year, we where swamped with no ac calls, some delayed ign, from a spark pilot that only light one side of the pilot. of cource they left it off when done. but the area i live now, it could snow in may, so i can't say i blame them for calling

It is funny the the little old lady wanted heat on such a warm day, but maybe she has poor circulation. I would have done the same thing if I were in the business.
I live in Indiana adn drive to Chicago for my Stationary Engineer job and there are days I hate the traffic.

it was 87* with a 74* dew point, hotter than haties. I got a call from our area's low income weatherization program, the damper on a Whisperheat won't open :rolleyes: . I am going to fix it Monday a.m.
They weatherization guy must have been inspecting 'cause I'm sure the lady wouldn't have turned it on because she was cold.
well, sometimes that's what ya gotta do.
