Texas Contractor Talks About ‘Life Or Death' Service Call
"I received an emergency service request from a good customer of mine recently," noted Wiggins. "She said her mother is elderly and living alone in a mobile home, and her cooling will not work. Her mother has had lung cancer and an operation has taken one of her lungs. On top of that, she has asthma that can be triggered by heat, dust, grasses, etc.
"So I went right away and found the breaker tripped to the outdoor unit. The entire underneath area of the mobile home was completely underwater from recent rains. I couldn't even get to the outdoor unit to check it because of all the water. I was able to see that the indoor gas furnace was in terrible condition and very old. I did not attempt to run and check it with the indoor temp already creeping into the low 90s.
