I really wish my mother would get yearly HVAC maintenance.
She does the bare minimum for her air conditioning system, like changing out the a/c filters.
I don’t think she ever gets HVAC maintenance, but yet she has the air conditioning unit running almost 24/7, at the most, she might turn it off for night, but even then, I don’t think she always does that either. There’s also been multiple times that I would go outside and see the a/c unit working hard on keeping the house cool, and I would see a ton of sticks and leaves piling up all over and inside of the cooling unit. I am not an HVAC technician, but I’m sure that’s not good for it. Anyways, during the summer when it hit its peak of heat, that’s when we started having problems. It was over 90 degrees outside, and now the AC was not giving cooling air. At best, the air it gave was cool, but really it was more warm than anything. My mom then tried calling 3 different local heating and cooling companies, but all of them were busy with other appointments because other people’s A/C components were also breaking down. They aren’t able to come out and fix the air conditioning device for 3 days, so that means 3 days of pure hell and living in an overheated house with awful sweaty nights. I wish my mother would get HVAC maintenance more often, because this wouldn’t happen if she did. Even lizards which are cold blooded and love heat, have been taking cover in the shade. You know it’s bad when that happens.
