We had bought the best thermostat on the market, but that was as far as we had gone when it came to new air conditioning equipment
Nothing is more annoying and frustrating than a mini-split air conditioner that fails to work in the middle of bad weather. There was a winter when the ductless heat pump broke down the day we held our engagement party in our home. When I called the cooling specialist and explained my situation, they were prompt, and I was grateful for their quick response. That morning was awful because apart from the HVAC malfunction, I almost lost my ring loading the dishwasher. It fell and rolled to God-knows-where, and I spent two frustrating hours trying to find it. After inspecting the unit, the cooling expert gave me even more bad news. He told me that no heating repair could fix the mess that was my heating device. I tried my best to keep up with the air conditioning tune-up, but that unit was so old Teddy Roosevelt must have been in diapers when they installed it. I was planning to replace it with almost similar technology, but that was in a month. It was the only way to salvage the indoor air quality and our gateway to a zone control system. We had made arrangements with the new contractor from the local HVAC business on the date for the new installation. We had not even considered any equipment that involved an HVAC duct or duct sealing. The only thing we would not replace was the temperature control system. We had bought the best thermostat on the market, but that was as far as we had gone when it came to new air conditioning equipment. The party went on without further hitches.
