When it comes to placing bets, I never get to win anything.
Taking chances and winning is just not my thing.
This is why when I chose to risk my warm season comfort on a central air unit that I had a feeling could fail, I still don’t get it. That was a loud reminder that I do not have the winning touch. See, I took that big gamble on that old central air unit and it sure failed me. I knew better than gambling on anything much less the quality heating and air of my house. This was during the warm season, so the heating wasn’t a priority. My Heating and A/C expert was out to do the central air tune up last Spring. This is when she told me that the central air unit was on its last leg. I did my best to pin her down on how much time I had left but of course she couldn’t be that particular. She let me know though once it broke, it couldn’t be fixed again. That was sensible and it would have been better to just substitute the heat pump. I had started saving for a Heating and A/C substitute years before. Unfortunately, that money got reallocated to other priorities. In order to save up, I opted to roll the dice on the old central air unit last summer. I did my best to lessen the load on the heat pump. I made it all the way to mid August before the thing gave out. The worst part of the whole thing was I had to wait a month and a half before I could get a new central air unit due to supply chain issues. I’m sure glad to have the new central air not have to risk that sort of Heating and A/C comfort again.
