Milly prides herself on being a very handy person.
Ever since she was a kid, she visited her grandparents during the summer. Her grandfather was an exceptional farmer who also did many of the repairs on their farm. He hardly ever called a mechanic over to repair any of the many machines on the farm. Since Milly was always by his side, he started teaching her to fix things when she was 4. By the time Milly bought her first house, she had managed to do many of the upgrades herself. She considered hiring an expert when it came to the HVAC system. Milly was having issues with a leak in the AC, causing it to blow out less cool air into her home. She knew the basics of HVAC repairs and maintenance but wasn’t sure about handling refrigerant leaks. Milly mulled over buying the refrigerant and taking care of the issue herself. But, even her grandfather never tried mending their home’s heating or cooling systems. Her grandma had stated that as a house rule because this was a delicate unit. Eventually, Milly saw it was better to pay the fee to an HVAC company and have the matter resolved. That way, she wouldn’t risk handling refrigerant incorrectly and causing harm since it’s a highly toxic substance. Milly phoned the HVAC company in her area, and an AC expert took care of the repair. Her AC unit had a crack on the refrigerant lines causing the leak. The AC expert had to fix the crack and then recharge the AC with refrigerant before switching it back on.
