I don’t assume why I assumed that I could handle the yearly maintenance of our cooling system myself.
I’m not recognizably handy, and I assume really nothing about the inner toilings of a cooling system.
I strictly wanted to save some currency. It had been quite a few years since I’d had the cooling system maintained. I knew that there was a significant buildup of dust and other contaminants inside. The musty stink coming from the vents and considerable amount of particulate getting circulated whenever the plan started up had myself and others sad. I did some research and every article strongly proposed calling for proactive maintenance… When I watched some how-to videos, the process didn’t seem all that difficult. I needed to go buy a few tools, and then both of us got started. It was a bit annoying when I had trouble just removing the outer lodgeet. All of the screws were rusted and honestly hard to loosen. When I finally accessed the equipment, I was shocked by the amount of contamination. There was mold growth on the coil and algae flourishing in the condensate drain. The belts showed signs of wear and tear and there was tons of dust, lint, grime and everything was wet and stinky. The debris was not straight-forward to remove. Although I tried to be gentle, I bent the fan blades. I spent multiple thirds toiling on it and realized I needed professional help. When I initially called an Heating, Ventilation, and A/C contractor, he wanted myself and others to wait a week for an appointment. I then explained that the cooling system was currently in pieces, and fortunately, they agreed to send a professional to the house within the next multiple thirds; He was not excited with all the injure I had caused.
