We haven’t used our HVAC system since winter.
The spring temperatures around here are just perfect and I see it as a good time to save on some electricity so I open the windows when it is hot and I turn on the heated blanket when it is cold.
Well it finally got warm enough for air conditioning and my family was happy about it. That is, until we noticed that half of the house is not getting any cold air at all. The kitchen, dining room, hallway, and bathroom all have cold air. However, none of the bedrooms have any air conditioned air at all and neither does the storage room. My husband called up an air conditioning company and they came out to check out the situation. Apparently we have a family of foxes living under our house. The air conditioning technician said he could smell them as soon as he opened up the crawl space. Additionally, he could heat the little kits making noise. He also said it is likely that the foxes, or other animals, damaged our ductwork under there. However, we have to get rid of the foxes before the air conditioner tech goes under the house to fix it. We could call out a trapper to relocate the foxes but I really don’t want to do that. I would rather wait a few months for them to grow up and go away by themselves. After all, baby foxes need a place to live too. We can get a strong window air conditioner for a few months if we have too.
