The Great Alabama Cold Crisis
Let’s face it: when temperatures in Tuscaloosa drop below what we consider “shorts weather” (anything under 65°F), we Alabamians tend to lose our minds a little. Suddenly, that furnace you haven’t thought about since last winter becomes the most important appliance in your home, right up there with the blessed invention of indoor heating itself.
Signs Your Furnace is Having a Midlife Crisis
Is your heating system making sounds that remind you of your teenager’s attempt at starting a garage band? That’s not a good sign. If your furnace is throwing what we like to call a “mechanical tantrum,” it might be time to call Bradberry Service Company before things go from “slightly concerning” to “why is my breath visible inside my living room?”
The Great Heating Migration
From Northport to Cottondale, from Brookwood to Coaling, we’ve seen it all. There’s nothing quite like the annual migration of Alabama residents from room to room, clutching blankets and following that one working heating vent like it’s the last slice of pizza at a Super Bowl party.
Why Professional Installation Matters
Sure, your cousin’s friend’s neighbor who “knows about these things” might offer to install your new heating system for the price of a case of beer, but let’s think about this logically. Do you really want your winter comfort depending on someone who thinks WD-40 is the answer to all of life’s problems?
The Truth About DIY Furnace Repair
Here’s a helpful list of things you should NOT do when your furnace acts up:
- Hit it with a wrench (it’s not a jukebox)
- Pray to the heating gods (they’re on vacation)
- Ignore the strange noises (they’re trying to tell you something)
- Use your oven as a backup heater (just… no)
From Coker to every corner of our service area, Bradberry Service Company is here to ensure your winter comfort doesn’t depend on how many layers you can physically wear at once. Because let’s be honest, nobody looks good in seven sweaters.
Remember, when your furnace decides to go on strike in the middle of winter, we’re just a phone call away. We promise to arrive before you have to resort to huddling around a candle for warmth like it’s 1823.
Stay warm, Alabama. And please, put down that wrench.
