One For All Air Conditioning

I was anxious for the HVAC technician to arrive.

We were going to discuss a new air conditioning unit for my house.

When he got there, my antennae were up and I was ready for him to leave immediately. When he was introducing himself to me, all I could smell was alcohol. The HVAC technician smelled 90 proof. I was thinking he could have had some cough syrup before he came into the house, but he didn’t appear sick. Maybe someone offered him an iced tea. It was really hot out. It could have been a Long Island iced tea.No matter what scenario I could come up with, my conscience was asking if I really believed it. I talked to my husband and told him what I suspected. He said he would go into the kitchen and talk to him. If he called me by name, I should call the HVAC company and tell them, but first say I would be there in ten. Two minutes later, I heard him call to me and he called me Nancy. As much as I hated doing it, I had to call the HVAC company and let them know their technician could be inebriated. The owner of the company soon got on the phone. He told me to keep him there by asking HVAC questions. He was going to be there in five minutes and he would be bringing another van. The HVAC tech would fix my air conditioning unit, and he was driving this one to the HVAC company. I hope the guy doesn’t lose his job.

When my HVAC technician was at the house, he told me we needed to have the air conditioning repaired.

We already knew that, but we wanted to know what was wrong with it.

He explained about the fan motor, and how it had seized, which was why we had diminished airflow, and less air conditioning. I thanked him for the explanation and asked him when he could have the parts. He said he had parts in the HVAC service van. He just had to make sure they were the right parts for my air conditioning unit. He headed out to the service van, and was gone for almost fifteen minutes. He told us the parts we needed weren’t in the service van, and he was talking to the people at the HVAC company, to see if they had the parts in stock. He was going to head to the HVAC company and pick up what we needed. All we had to do was sit tight and he would be back in an hour. My husband stopped the tech and told him we had dinner plans and asked if he could come back the next day? After apologizing for his assumption we would stick around and wait for him, he called the HVAC company again. He had to get a time when they had an opening for him to return the next day and do the repair on our air conditioning unit. It ended up with us going back and forth trying to find a time that would work for all of us. He ended up telling he would come and make the repair after his last service call.

I love my mom and dad, and I knew they were going through some rough times.

What I didn’t know was that they needed someplace to live.

They had been given six weeks to move out of their house, because they were being evicted by the government. Mom and dad had held out as long as they could to keep the house, but eventually they couldn’t. They had paid their taxes in years, and it caught up with them. When I talked to my husband, he frowned. He couldn’t believe I thought I had to ask if my parents could live with us. He said they were always welcome and he was glad we had just remodeled the basement. We were thinking it would make a nice apartment for our daughter. Now, it was going to be an apartment for my parents. When I talked to mom and dad, mom told me they would love to live in our basement, but it had to have new HVAC. I couldn’t believe she said that until she told me why. She said the last time they were there, they were sleeping in the basement on the pullout. It was so humid down there, they felt like they had to take a shower several times throughout the night. I told her it had been remodeled and there was a new HVAC system, and a brand new full bath. She thanked me for the invitation but thought she should refuse, but she really had no other choice. She told me what was going on with their house, and said we were their saving grace.

It didn’t mean there was anything wrong with it, but it wasn’t covered under the warranty.

Last month, I bought a brand new air conditioning unit, and had it installed. The HVAC company asked if I was interested in a maintenance and repair agreement. I was hesitant at first because it had a full warranty, but when he said it covered the maintenance fees for all my annual work, it would save me money for the next two years. I agreed and put the cost in with my payment plan. Six months later, I was using the maintenance and repair plan for the first time. My air conditioning unit was not working. The HVAC technician arrived and asked me why I purchased a used air conditioning unit. I told him it wasn’t used. I had the air conditioning unit installed six months earlier. It was brand new, and I showed him the sales receipt. He showed me the tag on the inside of the AC unit. It clearly stated it was a refurbished AC unit. He said if people couldn’t afford the AC unit, or it was only slightly used, the AC unit would be cleaned and serviced, and sold as a refurbished item. It didn’t mean there was anything wrong with it, but it wasn’t covered under the warranty. I called the HVAC company and told them what the HVAC technician said. They assured me it was a brand new unit, until I put the HVAC tech on the line. They backed off, and said they would replace. I wasn’t going to pay for the air conditioner until I had a new one sitting in its place.

I called the manager, and told him he had to come down here immediately

When I was moving, I had to put the house furnishings into storage while waiting for the moving truck. My house sold immediately, and I was living in a hotel for a month. My main concern with the storage unit was whether it had climate control. My clothing and personal items were all that were staying with me. Everything else was going to be in the storage unit. I asked if there was climate control when I rented the unit. I knew how hot and humid it would be in the storage unit without climate control. I didn’t want my furniture to mold or mildew. The person who was at the counter assured me they had excellent climate control, and my belongings were safe, but I was hesitant. I asked about insurance on my property. I was willing to pay extra for insurance. She showed me a clause in their contract that guaranteed full replacement of my property if there was any damage from the lack of climate control. A month later, I was with the movers when they went to the storage unit to load my property. I was shocked when I opened the store, only to have extreme heat and humidity blow into my face. It was hotter inside the storage unit than it was inside. I called the manager, and told him he had to come down here immediately. They followed through with paying for my damaged furniture, but now I had to buy a new bedroom set, mattresses, carpets, chairs, sofa, and my winter clothing. The only things not ruined were those that were metal, and hidden beneath other items.

I told my husband the car needed to be cleaned last week.

We had a wedding to go to, and we were picking up my parents. I didn’t want cookies and other debris from the children, on the seat of the car, or anywhere they may have touched. He groaned because he said he wasn’t the one who drove the car all the time, but I was stuck with the kids all the time. I told him he needed to clean the car while I got the spare room ready for my parents. They were spending the remainder of the weekend with us, so they could spend some time with the grandkids. My husband graciously offered to vacuum the bedroom, do a quick dusting and make the bed with fresh sheets, while I cleaned the car. I didn’t realize how hot it had become while we were inside talking about who was going to do each chore. I realized my husband was going to be inside with the air conditioning while I was stuck outside with the heat. I wasn’t happy with this turn of events, but it was my own fault. I should have just gotten the bedroom cleaned, and then asked him to clean the car. He probably would have turned on the radio and air conditioning while he was stuck inside. I would have had time to shower and start getting ready for the wedding. I was sweaty and grungy by the time my parents arrived. They were grateful for the clean room and private bath. They thanked my husband for turning on the air conditioning so it would be cool, then asked what happened to me.

I never thought what would happen to the fish if we didn’t have air conditioning. I thought they would be fine, because they don’t have constant temperatures in the wild. I woke up one morning, and the air conditioning wasn’t working. The water in my fish tank had risen to 85 degrees, and there was a massive kill off of my fish. I had two fish left out of eight. I wasn’t sure if it was the hot water, or just something wrong in the fish tank, but I was upset. I called the HVAC company and told them my fish were dead, and I had no air conditioning. I had to have air conditioning, or I would lose my last two fish. The woman on the phone asked me if I was all right. If the fish tank had warmed up so high the fish had died, I could be suffering from heat stroke or something else that could be worse. I had a headache, but I wasn’t sick. I just wanted an HVAC technician to come to the house and fix the air conditioning unit. I’m not sure if it was a hysterical plea to keep my last two fish healthy. Maybe she reacted as she did because she thought I was suffering from the heat. She told me she would send an HVAC tech to the house immediately. I didn’t realize I would need to pay extra for an emergency HVAC call until I saw the bill. They had my air conditioning running again, and my house was comfortable. As far as the fish goes; the heater had malfunctioned, and all of my fish were electrocuted, and it had nothing to do with the temperature in the fish tank, or the air conditioning.
