Dad wasn’t sure why the air conditioner was leaking moisture

Dad and I have always been close.

  • This didn’t change even when I hit puberty and became a different person.

He’s always made it a point to maintain a close relationship. When I was in college, dad would fly out to see me every 2 months, and I was quite happy to see him. But, he slowed down traveling after falling ill. Last year, dad planned a trip to see my new home, and my step-mom was driving him over. I was so happy to show them my new space and even made up their guest room. On the day they were due to arrive, I was experiencing a problem with the AC in my home. It started by blowing out warm air from the vents despite being set to cool the space. I wasn’t sure why my AC was acting up since this was the first time I owned one. When dad and mom arrived, I was happy to welcome them, and they got settled. Later, I asked dad if he could take a look at my AC unit since it wasn’t working properly. Dad did inspect the air conditioner and noticed moisture leaking from it. However, he wasn’t sure what the source was and asked me to contact an HVAC worker to take a better look. I have a service and repair agreement with a nearby HVAC business, so I called them. All their HVAC workers were out in the field, so we had to wait for 2 hours for someone to pass by. At exactly 2 pm on that hot summer day, an HVAC worker repaired the faulty air conditioner at my house. The moisture was leaking out because of a clogged drain line.

Mom was happy with the new cooling system

My mom is one of those people who hate change. She says it’s better to stick to what she knows than try new stuff. But, we always try to nudge her from her comfort zone. For instance, my sibling and I made a pact to help mom upgrade the house. Even after offering to pay, it’s taken mom time to change the wallpaper in the kitchen. We understand that this gives her anxiety, but we also see how much she admires the new features in our homes. Last year, mom came to visit me and see the grandkids. We had just installed a new cooling system, and the house felt much better. It was summer, and mom always commented positively about the cool air. She said her old AC was still working but always felt uncomfortable in the house. After a week of experiencing our home’s amazing modern cooling system, mom was willing to change the one at home. She asked me to come over and help find a reliable AC business to take care of the installation. Mom wasn’t sure she’d go ahead with it if one of us wasn’t there with her. I went home on my day off work and got in touch with a nearby AC business with amazing reviews. About an hour later, an HVAC technician came by the house to inspect the old AC and recommend the best unit for my mom’s home. We got a quote, made the payment and a few days later, the HVAC technician returned to replace the aging AC. Now, mom is happy enjoying the new cooling system in her home. She’s even speaking about changing the thermostat from the old dial unit to a smart one.

We had to get duct cleaning and sealing done at the house

It was quite a shock when my uncle’s lawyer called with some news.

We had just attended his funeral a week before and went back home.

My partner and I made sure we visited him in the home before he passed away. My uncle was all alone after his only son passed away a year before, so we ensured he felt lots of love. I was in the backyard when my partner said there was a phone call for us, and the lawyer insisted we listen together. He said my uncle had a house in a lovely neighborhood that he’d been renting out to cover costs at the home. This house was ours, and some money was available to renovate it. It was my uncle’s dying wish we move into the house, renovate it and make it our home. After discussing this, my partner and I decided to honor his dying wish and went to work upgrading the home. Some of the work to be done was upgrading the ductwork in this home. We also had to purchase and install a new HVAC system since the one available was almost 12 years old. My partner has a friend who is an HVAC expert, so he came by to inspect the heating and cooling. After the complete HVAC inspection, he concluded we needed urgent ductwork that involved cleaning and sealing before installing the new HVAC system. We were thankful we had the money to pay for the extensive HVAC work in the house because it wasn’t cheap. For instance, we paid almost $5500 to buy and install a modern energy-efficient HVAC system.

The HVAC company had a 4.9-star rating

My sister recently bought her first house, and I am so proud of her. Ever since we were kids, my sister has had some health issues. For a time, it was touch and go since the doctors weren’t sure she would make it. There was a time she was in the hospital for 8 months, which took a toll on my parents. But, they’ve always been a strong team and managed to keep things together as we faced tough times. Eventually, my sister’s condition changed when she hit puberty, and she’s been doing great ever since. Once she graduated from university, she stayed with me in the city for 2 years and recently moved into her place. Among the issues, I needed her to handle as a new homeowner was finding the right service companies for matters like HVAC. We live about 20 miles from each other, and this area has hot-hot summers and frigid winters. This means we must get the best HVAC systems to cool and heat the house, depending on the season. My sister and I researched the best HVAC companies in the area and found one with great reviews. This HVAC company had a 4.9-star rating which was quite impressive. We noticed they had a 25% discount for first-time clients calling for HVAC maintenance or repairs. Since my sister was yet to have an AC tune-up before summer, we opted to contact them. An hour and a half later, an HVAC expert at the door was ready to get to work inspecting the cooling system in the house. He also spoke to us about their different HVAC repair and service agreements that my sister could consider.
