Cal and I were enjoying beer on his front deck when all of us saw the commercial air conditioning truck.
Cal had told me he was expecting someone, but I never knew it was someone from the air conditioning dealer.
Before the cooling expert parked and left the car, I asked Cal if the state-of-the-art Heating and Air Conditioning system he used had a problem because I assumed the guy was there for repair. Cal told me that his electric heater was okay, however it was due to quality AC repair and repair. I was shocked because I only call the air conditioning professional when ordering a new AC filter or if the a/c had an issue. The air ducts in our apartment had been cleaned once in the 8years I have lived there. I also diagnosed the air duct sealing because why call a professional when you can buy duct tape? It is what I kept telling myself, but I was aware the lack of professional input would cost me a lot more. Heaven knows the number of Do It Yourself fixes I had performed on our a/c setup. I had also mistakenly assumed the air conditioning service tech was a man, however the man who left the truck was a man… Cal also had an impressive digital thermostat that he could control from his iPhone because it was WI-FI enabled. Cal was always in the know about the heating industry and told me why he switched to a HEPA filter and its impact on overall air quality. When the tech finished, all of us provided his a drink, however he declined because he had a very long day of work ahead of her, however he accepted a slice of pizza.
