Prolonging the lifespan of an air conditioner

HVAC equipment is a considerable investment; the only way to save on the investment is to have a proper a/c care plan. My parents’ unit has lasted over its estimated lifespan. My parents had the money for a new air conditioning system since they had anticipated the old one failing. I learned a couple of lessons regarding taking proper a/c care. The air conditioner we used when growing up was efficient throughout the better part of my childhood. When the a/c worker finished the air conditioner installation, dad made a schedule for a/c maintenance at least two times every year. An important tip that the technician from the air conditioning company shared with dad was to call an a/c representative once he noticed something was wrong with the HVAC equipment. Neglecting these a/c repairs could cause a minor problem to grow into a more severe one. It would also ensure that we would rarely call the air conditioning supplier in need of new parts for replacement. During the entire process, I learned much about the air conditioning business and how to improve indoor air quality. I initially thought that a/c service was not essential and one could do without and only deal with fixing the issue whenever a problem occurred. Some of the cases were avoidable. A correctly done installation ensures that the unit will function optimally. The most important advice, however, was to always keep an eye and ear out for any noticeable issue on the machine. To prolong the lifespan of their HVAC unit, my parents also had a strict schedule for replacing air conditioning filters every three months.

Riding shotgun in the air conditioning company car

As I drove past the air conditioning company on my way from my second-day job, my car broke down for the third time that week. I was still holding on to it because it was not a classic old model but simply because I couldn’t afford another car. I had the option of selling it, but I could not convince myself that it would fetch much. An air conditioning business van stopped next to me, and the a/c worker asked if I needed any help. I told him that my car had broken down, and the distress on my face must have made him pity me because he offered me a ride since we were heading in the same direction. On the way, he mentioned the address where he was going to conduct an a/c repair. I realized that he was born in my home. I told him about all the problems I was facing with the air conditioner and how the air quality had deteriorated. He asked me how often I have an a/c representative conduct a/c care or a full a/c service. When I told him I rarely did, he told me that the lack of an a/c care plan could be why they kept breaking down. I hesitated to lead him to the air conditioner installation because my house was messy. He did not seem to notice or ignored it and went ahead to fix the system. I was so glad that he did not tell me that I had to order some parts from the air conditioning supplier because I was on my last penny. The worst would have been if the damage was so bad that I had to purchase a new air conditioning system. I promised myself to take annual air conditioning maintenance seriously.

An independent air conditioner for my inlaw suite

Waiting tables at the diner meant I got home very late. I could not wait to get to my studio apartment on such a day. The studio apartment was an in-law suite in someone’s home compound. One afternoon I came home to a hot house. The first thing I did was check the thermostat and then reset it. The best thing about my apartment was that I did not share the same central air conditioner as the main house. The suite had its independent HVAC system, which also meant a particular a/c service. I also decided to check for reminders on the regulator’s app, but this time on my phone, to check if I had missed any updates or reminders. It seemed that I had missed one that was labeled a/c care plan. I was not sure what I meant by that because usually, the landlord took care of the annual air conditioning maintenance; furthermore, I had stayed in that apartment for less than a year. I was in charge of a/c repair, buying a new air conditioning filter, but nothing else involving a/c care. They had given me the contact details of their preferred air conditioning business, but I was free to call an a/c worker from a different air conditioning company if I pleased. So far, I have only had one incident with the unit, and the a/c representative who took care of it took less than forty minutes. My previous apartment had a very unreliable air conditioner installation, and the air quality was substandard. I decided to call the landlord to find out if I was the one to contact the air conditioning supplier or if it was him.

Wannabe Thor and the stunning a/c representative

I look like Marvel’s Thor; safety goggles on and a sledgehammer in my hands.

I think the actual image was that of a deranged man, especially when I saw the expression of the a/c worker.

He had knocked on my door, but since I was taking down a wall, I did not hear a thing, so he just entered the house. I had called the air conditioning company to send a technician who could tell me the cost and size of the new air conditioning equipment. In the meantime, I needed an a/c repair for the old air conditioner for it to get me through the month. The air conditioner installation was going to be the best in the air conditioning business. When I removed my dust goggles, I realized that the technician was a lady who was almost as tall as I am, which is not so common since I’m six feet. Even with all the dust, I could still smell her vanilla and spring scent. Her well-manicured fingernails were firmly holding a toolbox, and I forgot how to breathe for a second. If every a/c representative came close to looking like her, the air conditioning business would be booming. Calls for a/c care and a/c service would be countless in a day. The lady did the air conditioning maintenance, fixed the issues, and set the digital thermostat because it gave the wrong readings. The way she went about her work was fascinating. She gave me the quotation I would present to the air conditioning supplier. She told me not to bother replacing the air conditioning filter since the air quality was not bad because I would be getting rid of that unit in less than a month.
