Regular quality AC repairs were not something I was anticipating when I bought an electric heat pump from the local A/C corporation.
I fell head over heels for the HVAC system that I overlooked anything that looked like a con.
It was the brand of air conditioner setup that I had always wanted. The A/C professional had come to give a HEPA rated filter plus repair the digital control unit. It turned out that the temperature control component was okay. It was the central HVAC that needed service. I felt cheated. After the equipment upgrade, I could appreciate fine indoor air quality plus indoor comfort with little or no effort from myself. I called a neighbor who works as a cooling expert but works with commercial air conditioners plus asked if the whole thing about proper servicing was necessary or if it was just a way of getting cash from homeowners. The first thing he did was chuckle at me plus then went on to tell me that just like everything else, the component needs proper services to run smoothly plus efficiently. I was even surprised that even the ductwork needs deep cleaning, plus here I thought they would always be clean since there is an AC filter. I was then resigned to my fate of having to schedule a repair schedule with the A/C worker, not just for the components but also for the digital control unit, and from then on, I took it upon myself to learn more about air conditioners since it was a really up-to-date concept. I suppose I was embarrassed when I remembered my reaction when the tech told me about proper A/C care, plus to know it was a minor problem that happened to me when it came to culture shock.
