I thought I was getting sick last week.
I woke up shivering, and couldn’t wait to bundle up with layers of clothing.
Two hours later, I was drenched in sweat and taking off the layers and getting down to nearly nothing. This went on throughout the day, and I thought I was getting sick. Although I wasn’t feeling poorly, and I seemed fine, I knew there was something wrong. If I had realized it was the thermostat working poorly, I would have dealt with the situation differently, but I wasn’t an HVAC technician. I knew I was sick, so I just assumed it had something to do with the furnace; and I was partly right. The thermostat controls the functioning of the furnace. I called the HVAC company and told them I needed to have the furnace checked out and explained about my bouts of being cold and then hot. The HVAC technician arrived and found nothing wrong with the furnace. He did every test he could to check out the furnace, but it was fine. The HVAC technician asked if I could think of anything, and that was when I told him the furnace was on for a long time, and then it went back off, which is when it got too cold. He said he had an idea, and checked the thermostat. Once he installed a new thermostat, my furnace was once again working well, but I got sick because of all the temperature changes. The furnace was still working well, and the thermostat was working, but my fever was taking me from hot to cold and back again, for the next three days.
