There are definitely pros and cons to living up North. I grew up in the north, so it is nothing to me to have to deal with the brutal winters here. My husband on the other hand, did not grow up as far north as we are living now, so he was not used to the extreme winter weather that we have here. We started having some trouble with our furnace a couple of years ago, but we had it serviced, and it seemed to work fine after that. Recently, the furnace has been giving us trouble again, and it has been quite a challenge this time. My husband thought that he knew what was wrong with the furnace, and for all we know, he could have been right, but he accidentally broke something while he was trying to repair the furnace. He tried to explain it to me, but it was over my head. Basically, all I got out of it was that while he was trying to fix the furnace, he accidentally broke it instead. He is hoping that an HVAC technician will be able to fix it so that we do not have to buy a whole new furnace, but he is a little nervous that it is not fixable. We called an HVAC company yesterday, and they are coming out tomorrow to check out our furnace. We have been looking online for deals on a new furnace just in case the one that we have now is not fixable or will be too expensive to fix. Hopefully, our old furnace is repairable, but I would not mind getting a new one since we have had quite a bit of trouble with ours over the past couple of years.
