My Grandma lives outside the city and in the middle of nowhere. My mom and I go out to see her once every month. Our wish is consistently to bring her home with us. But, she is a stubborn and proud woman. She’s fought all our efforts and insists on living on her own. My Grandpa built the condo she lives in, and we all like it and adore memories of my grandad while we are there. It’s such a lovely log condo surrounded by woodland. The only issue is the home is too isolated, and grandma is not getting any younger. So, the two of us worry about her safety. Three years ago, before Grandpa passed away, he set up a gas furnace in the house. It was a better way to heat the home while in Winter time than using logs. Up until his death, it was consistently working perfectly fine. But my only complication was no furnace corporation had inspected the system since it was installed. One morning, while at work, I felt apprehensive and went to visit Grandma. She welcomed me, and I decided to spend the night. I’d brought along a CO detector and just wanted to check out the home at night. I left it by the modern indoor furnace and went to sleep. At around 1 am, I woke up to a loud beeping noise. The detector had confirmed my suspicions about the heating system. I ran and swung open all the windows to let in lots of fresh air. Grandma was awake and safe within minutes. I told her the two of us needed to call in an Heating and Air Conditioning corporation to come and repair the furnace. After making a phone call the following morning, an AC expert came and set up a CO detector next to the gas furnace. Also, he took care of the whole device and made several repairs to prevent any more incidents. Grandma and I were both fortunate that I had come to the condo that night.
