My area frequently gets hurricane warnings.
Typically they never really amount to anything. When I put my business in a flood zone, I never really thought anything would happen to it. Well jokes on me because after one year of operation, my entire business was flooded with water. Debris also fell onto my roof, damaging it. I thought I was going to lose my business. I had to buy a new roof, update the flooring and get all brand new wiring installed. I had a ductless heat pump for my space that was no longer functional. The cold season was coming and I had no heating option. Since I spent most of my money making updates though, I couldn’t afford to purchase one. Thankfully I found a company that does boiler and chiller rentals. I got an emergency boiler rental for about half the price it would be to just buy one. The boiler rental was used the entire cold season while I accrued enough funds to get an air conditioner and update my business for the upcoming spring and summer season. By the time the heat came, I could afford my own cooling system. I didn’t worry too much about buying a heater though. It was nice knowing the industrial boiler rental company would have my back. They were great about installing, servicing and maintaining the machine while it was in my possession. At one point I was loosely thinking of just keeping the rental boiler rather than buy an actual one. They do all the work and I have it for a fraction of the price.
