I got my elbows replaced
Two weeks ago, my wife and I had some heating oil delivered for our empty tank. A technician came out to get everything working again. Once the heater was up and running he inspected the area and switched off the heater and saved our lives.
The cause was rust. A lot of it had put some holes through the elbows of our flu pipes and would have filled the house with carbon monoxide. We had someone scheduled to come out on Wednesday. I worked from home today so I could see my therapist in the middle of the day. As soon as I came home, Steve was at the door with a nice smile on his face.
He was just going to replace the cap on the chimney today and come back on Wednesday. A half hour later Angel tells me that he is doing the whole job. He vacuumed all the suit out, removed the pipes, put in new ones, cleaned up the rust on the heater itself, and gave it a tune-up.
I can sleep easy now knowing that I can turn the heat on. It’s been some pretty cold nights and it isn’t even winter yet. The job came to a total of $226.65

| 75×80B Nozzle | $6 |
