Be Prepared for Unexpected Repairs

When things break, they always break at the worst time.You know, on the weekend, during a party, etc. 

When our well pump stopped working it was in mid shower on the weekend.  After a tirade of colorful language, my husband did the smart thing.  He turned off the well pump. We had enough hot water stored in the tank for the necessities until morning.

Happily, we had the phone number to the repair person on a magnetic business card on our hot water tank and he came right away.  Even though I have numberous resource numbers in my database, it was comforting to not have to rifle through names and numbers while under the stress of no water.

The take away?  Have your repair service contacts at the point of the problem; electrician at the breaker box, HVAC person at the air handler, etc.

By the way, turns out a fuse caused our problem.  My husband saved our pump by turning it off.
