When the Heat is On, Thompson Keeps Their Cool

In the sweltering battlegrounds of Petersburg, Dundee, Ida, Britton, Ottawa Lake, and Lambertville, MI, there’s a group of unsung heroes who brave the elements to keep us all comfortable. They are the intrepid technicians of Thompson Plumbing, Heating & AC, and boy, do they have some stories to tell!

The Case of the Frozen Flamingo

Picture this: It’s a scorching summer day in Petersburg, and Mrs. Johnson calls in a panic. Her prized plastic flamingo has frozen solid in her front yard. How, you ask? Well, her overzealous attempt at DIY air conditioning involved positioning her unit to blow directly out the window and onto poor Pinky the Flamingo. Our AC repair team arrived to find a confused flock of real flamingos trying to defrost their plastic cousin with their breath.

The Great Dundee Igloo Incident

In Dundee, we once received a frantic call from a homeowner who claimed his house had turned into an igloo. Turns out, his new smart thermostat had a glitch and decided that -20°F was the perfect indoor temperature. Our HVAC installation team not only fixed the issue but also helped chip the homeowner out of his icy cocoon.

The Haunted Air Ducts of Ida

An Ida resident insisted her air ducts were haunted, claiming to hear ghostly wails every time the AC kicked in. Our brave technicians investigated, only to discover a family of raccoons had taken up residence in the ductwork, throwing their own little AC-powered rock concert.

The Britton Blizzard Bonanza

During a heatwave in Britton, we received an urgent call about indoor snowfall. The culprit? A overly creative homeowner who thought connecting a snow machine to his AC unit would be a great way to beat the heat. Spoiler alert: It wasn’t.

Ottawa Lake’s Tropical Transformation

In Ottawa Lake, we once installed an air conditioning system so powerful, it turned the client’s living room into a tropical paradise. Palm trees sprouted from the carpet, and a family of toucans took up residence in the curtains. Okay, maybe we’re exaggerating a bit, but it was pretty cool (pun intended).

The Lambertville Luau Mishap

Last but not least, there was the time in Lambertville when a client insisted on having their air conditioner play Hawaiian music. We politely explained that’s not quite how AC works, but we did leave them with a lovely lei as a consolation prize.

At Thompson Plumbing, Heating & AC, we’ve seen it all and fixed it all. From frozen flamingos to indoor blizzards, we’re always ready to tackle your HVAC challenges with a smile. So next time your AC is acting up, give us a call. We promise to keep our cool, even if your AC isn’t!
