Warming up

[soc_puppet]

My parents managed to find a repair person to come by and fix the heater before noon today, yay! The house is mostly back to normal temperature now, which is even better 😁

That said, the repair person did say that the company that made our heater is no longer making parts for it, and it was lucky that he had what we needed already; we need to start contemplating saving up for a new heater over the next few years.

But still! Warm house now, at least!

well at least you got warning that they aren't making parts anymore, while the repairer still had parts!

Whew! Very relieved on your behalf, because daaaaang, it is *not* fun out there!

Hooray for a warm house! I'm glad it was fixed so quickly. Bummer that you probably have to get a new heater in the not-so-distant future, though.

I just hate planned obsolescence. I had a clever little space heater for my last apartment and it worked perfectly until it didn't. I bought another one of the same model, and it too gave up the ghost a week after the guarantee expired. I didn't buy a third one.

I count "not making this type anymore, and the new type is completely different" as planned obsolescence, too. Both are geared towards making you buy a new device instead of fixing the old, which isn't very sustainable.

But yay, warm house!
