He just said something like, “Grab me another beer, will ya?” It was either something like that or he would suddenly change the subject and want to talk about who I thought was going to make it to the Super Bowl
I kept telling our brother for years that he should upgrade his old boiler with a combi boiler, and then he could just get rid of that old water heating system and free up some space in his basement. He always said that he wasn’t going to maintenance anything that didn’t need fixing and all that mess. He didn’t seem to care back then when I told him about how much more energy efficient these boiler systems are. Some 5 years later, his water heating system started leaking. That’s when he finally asked me about these special boilers again. I told him they were called combi boilers and he should ask his local Heating and A/C company about them. So he reached out to his local company and he said he was impressed reading all about the combi boiler systems. They handle all your warm water needs and they supply heating to the home in the cold season. He had the nerve to ask me why I didn’t tell him about how much cash these combi boilers could save him. I had to remind him that I kept trying to tell him about the incredible energy efficiency, even though he wouldn’t pay any attention. He just said something like, “Grab me another beer, will ya?” It was either something like that or he would suddenly change the subject and want to talk about who I thought was going to make it to the Super Bowl. So he ended up having the combi boiler installed and he was truly cheerful about his new investment. When the people I was with and I finally got into the winter, I was enjoying football at his location, admiring the excellent heating in his home. He smiled when he showed me how much he was saving compared to his old boiler system.
