We Got A New Furnace

We’d been having trouble with our furnace for months, culminating in eventually having to manually turn it on every two hours. So, we finally just bit the bullet and had it replaced. It cost a pretty penny (and then some), but Paragon Mechanical came through for us again – completing the job in just under a week, getting us back up and running in time for the cold weather. 

First, they had to remove both the old furnace and both hot water heaters, one of which was in the Laundry Room. That was quite the job and resulted in a huge pile of copper pipes that we will now sell to a recycling company. I believe Bryan is planning on buying some new fancy thermostats with the money we get, to be placed in Mother’s side of the house so she can more easily regulate the heat to her comfort levels.


Then, they installed the new furnace and all the associated pipes and valves and whatnot as well as the new hot water tank. I love that the installer was just as OCD as we are – he did a great job of making it all look “pretty” as well as being quite functional.


We now have several holes in various walls that need to be addressed – Bryan is working on that as we speak. The Laundry Room will get new shelving for our canning jars, and the garage now has a bit more room for the snow blower and various shovels, brooms, and whatnot.

Overall, I’d say it was a Job Well Done!
