A boiler failure in our office building

I was so late for work that walking fast from the parking lot would not make a difference but my quick march was to avoid the cold outside.

Even the two cups of coffee that I was carrying were no longer hot.

I could not wait to get into our warm offices. I handed my cubemate one cup and then proceeded to remove my coat so that I could settle in. Ten minutes after removing my coat I was freezing and that is when I noticed that my colleague was still wearing their coat. That is when I asked them what was going on and they told me that the maintenance team had told them that the boiler had stopped working during the night. The central heating system in that building was old and it’s about time they installed a new HVAC system. They had at least replaced the faulty dial thermostat with a more technologically advanced one. My colleague was the one tasked to call the home comfort business and after forty minutes the boss was on her case. She dialed the heating provider again and she was informed that a heating technician was on his way. It was so cold it was hard to concentrate on work. Since I was not even getting any work done I went to the basement to see what they were doing.They changed the furnace filter and did a boiler repair. Before he left he gave us a heater for sale list and said that it was important that we replace the heater. That also needed a filter so I went to their heating corp website to look for a furnace filter for sale and also learn more about heating because my knowledge was limited to gas furnaces and fireplaces.
