Literary Fiction / Memoir-Style Fiction / Technical Drama
What happens when the man who fixes your heating system knows more about your life than your therapist?
Step into the worn work boots of Andrew Baines, an HVAC technician with 38 years of experience and stories that would make your pipes rattle. This isn't just another repair manual—it's a journey through the hidden corridors of American homes and the even more complex pathways of the human heart.
Through 22 gripping chapters, Andy takes us from explosive marital dramas uncovered during routine service calls to chilling encounters in basement labyrinths that defy explanation. He navigates everything from being wrongfully accused of murder to discovering supernatural occurrences in mechanical rooms. Each service call becomes a window into the human condition, where faulty wiring often mirrors fractured relationships.

Who Needs This Book:
What makes Sean Henry Hansen's writing so compelling is his ability to see the poetry in pipes and the drama in ductwork. As he puts it:
"Every groaning boiler has a story. Every rattling air conditioner holds secrets. For 38 years, I've been part-mechanic, part-therapist, part-detective in American homes. The same hands that calibrate precision instruments also type these words—because some stories are too important to stay trapped in the machinery."
You'll never look at your thermostat the same way again. Each click and whirr in your home will remind you of Andy's adventures.
You'll gain the confidence to have informed conversations with technicians and make smarter decisions about your home environment.
