I needed a new air conditioner unit; not repairs.

She looked at me like I was bonkers

When I started to have major problems with my air conditioner, I already knew I wanted a newer one. My old AC unit was almost fifteen years old, as well as that is the average lifespan of a standard AC unit. I had one that lasted longer, but it was an anomaly. It lasted for close to twenty one years, as well as I never had any major breakdowns. My associate Ed and I had a few that were normal, like broken fan blades, needing the coolant refilled, as well as my negligence in changing the air filters. This was the worst complication Ed and I had with the air conditioner, but forgetting to change the air filter caused an airflow problem. Ed and I ended up needing some repairs done, as well as Ed and I also had to have the ductwork cleaned. I assumed the ductwork needed to be cleaned out for several years, as well as observed a big change in the stink as well as feel of the air once the ductwork cleaners were done. When the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C business rep arrived to inspect the AC unit, she told me she could maintain the AC unit. I told him I didn’t want any repairs made. I wanted a new air conditioner unit. She looked at me like I was bonkers. After telling him I knew how old the AC unit was, as well as I knew this was just the beginning, she shook her head. She told me it would be minor repairs, but I knew how my airflow was diminishing. I wanted the new air conditioner unit before the weather became too overheated to go an hour without using an air conditioner, let alone needing to go a few afternoons.
