How Mobile Home Parts Store saved me and my Coleman Furnace this winter!

If any of you live in Northeast Ohio, you know how cold it can get. Doors freezing on cars, wet hair freezing outside, lotion freezing in the bottle: you get the story. Not having heat in your home isn't just uncomfortable, but it’s also dangerous. The temperatures can be in the negatives, which is unhealthy for you and your family and even cause frostbite. Frozen pipes also can cost upwards of $1000 if they burst, which unfortunately isn't uncommon in Ohio winters. I even had it happen once in an apartment complex during college—during winter break, some students didn't leave their heat on and the pipes in the entire complex burst. Now that was a mess. Nobody wants to deal with that—between the flooding, cost, and stress, you want to avoid burst pipes at all costs. So, when my Coleman furnace broke this past winter, I was understandably in a panic. Not only did I have to deal with a four and six year old whining that “it’s too cold in here,” but I also had to set up space heaters in the basement to make sure that the pipes didn't freeze. It was a nightmare, to put it mildly.

Luckily, one of my husband’s best friends is a furnace repair man, and he offered to take a look at our broken Coleman furnace for free. He told us that the electric motor was shot, and that he could replace it, but we had to order it first. I did a quick online search, and Mobile Home Parts store came up with the Coleman furnace part that I needed. I was able to order and get same day shipping, so the part arrived in just one day. Our family friend was able to install the part, and we were able to have a heated house. I’m just thankful that none of my pipes froze and burst! If the part had come much later, they definitely would have, because a huge cold front arrived later in the week, with temperatures dropping into the negatives for several days. Thanks to Mobile Home Parts Store, I just had to order the part, which was inexpensive in itself, and then enjoy my toasty warm home. Next time a part breaks on our Coleman furnace, my husband and I have vowed that we will order from Mobile Home Parts Store. Their speedy service can’t be beat! And, hopefully, the next time this happens, we can get our family friend to repair it again for free! (:
