I did the smart thing right away and called the HVAC company
I could kick myself for a lot of the things that I do. However, abandoning the HVAC maintenance was one of my more stupid moves. A few years ago, I decided that I’d save the money on the HVAC service from the HVAC professional. I figured that since I had been so consistent with heating maintenance in the fall and an air conditioner tune-up in the spring, I’d be good for a while. How I came up with that twisted logic I’ll never fully understand. So of course, here we are enduring the mid-summer heat and the air conditioner breaks down. And this isn’t just a quick recharge or something like that. The HVAC equipment is damaged and there are parts that have to be replaced. Of course since it’s mid-summer, there is a great demand for HVAC service and parts. That means, I’m going to have to get accustomed to a hot house for a bit. The HVAC professional told me it could be a few weeks before they are able to repair the HVAC cooling. You can imagine the scene when I had to tell my wife and daughters that we’d be without air conditioning for that long. It did not go well. I bought a few window air conditioners to help but it’s far from sufficient. And of course, the HVAC technician told me that had I gotten the air conditioner tune-up, I would not be having this problem at all. While that wasn’t easy to hear. I did the smart thing right away and called the HVAC company. I’m now signed up for the HVAC service plan so this won’t happen again.
