The colder temperatures are almost here. The user has done everything they can to get the home ready. Insulation’s been added; windows and doors are sealed, and finally upgraded to a smart thermostat. Everything looks great, so let’s bring it on, winter.
Except, the furnace just quit. The user’s sitting in a cold home and staring at a potentially gigantic problem.
