It’s the first day of spring, flowers are blooming, birds are singing, and the temperature is rising! It’s my favorite time of the year, that is if your air conditioner doesn’t break down.
- This is unfortunately what happened to me.
Of all days, spring’s first day it had to happen? I noticed my house was getting stuffy after enjoying a cup of coffee on my back porch. The thermostat was approaching 80 degrees when I checked it. This was not the kind of weather you want to be stuck in without air conditioning. I called and begged the HVAC company to have a cooling technician come to my house asap. After a few hours, the HVAC tech arrived looking like he was just woken up. It is the middle of the day! His hair was all over the place, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was a bit grumpy. I tried welcoming him but he just wasn’t in the mood and got to my air conditioner unit. After an hour of the HVAC tech working on my air conditioner unit, he told me that my unit was done and I’d need a new HVAC system. He said he couldn’t fix my old HVAC unit and he gave me a number to call to start looking for a new one. So yeah, that’s my first day of spring. I had to deal with a grumpy HVAC tech and found out I was going to have to pay for a new HVAC unit. At least it’s the air conditioning unit, it would be horrible if it was the heater on the first day of winter.
