Serious question, did my landlord change my mind about buying a house?

My landlord fixed our heat for the 4th time in 2 years on a Sunday in January, and now I'm wondering if renting is the smarter move after all, so has anyone else had a repair guy be so on top of it that it killed your urge to own?

Think about what happens when that repair guy retires or the owner sells the building, because a good landlord today does not promise you a good one in five years. Owning means you are the one calling the shots on Sunday in January, and yeah that costs money and time, but at least you are not waiting on someone else to decide your heat matters. Run the numbers on a mortgage versus your rent plus what you would spend on repairs, and if they come out close, buy the house.
