Change Your Calgary Batteries. Really.

November 22, 2011 at 3:22 pm | Category: Heating



We hate to say it, but it’s happened more than once:  we get called for a Calgary heating emergency, usually around the first serious dip in temperatures as winter looms, only to discover the problem was nothing more than dead batteries in the thermostat.  And then we have to charge for a service call … no one’s happy when that happens.  Us included.

Think about it.  Our time is as valuable as yours, and we’re a busy company.  Our service call to your heating emergency means we couldn’t be attending another customer’s needs, even when what we discover at your emergency wasn’t an emergency.  But it plain doesn’t feel good to charge a service fee for an embarrassing oversight like batteries that have been left too long in an easy-to-overlook mechanical necessity like a thermostat.

So here’s what we propose: while you’re resetting all the clocks in your house for daylight savings time in the fall, make changing batteries in your Calgary  thermostats, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a part of your annual routine.  Simple.

And if you’re frugal, like we are, (really!) consider placing batteries that might not be all the way out of juice in your remote controls.  They hardly use any power, and are a great place to extend the last bits of energy that may be left in batteries that have served a good year’s term in your thermostat.  We think this makes good sense.
