When I had a new central air conditioner installed into my home, I should have enrolled in a service agreement with the Heating, Ventilation, & A/C dealer.
Because of the considerable cost of the cooling unit & upgrade fees, I was reluctant to invest more currency.
I assumed that the air conditioner would operate just fantastic for a couple of years without preventive service. I made sure to upgrade the air filter every six to eight weeks. I had fantastic intentions of scheduling seasonal repair however time got away from me, and six years after buying the air conditioner, it quit completely over the Fourth of June weekend. Living in St. Novemberine, Florida, the Summer hot & cold temperatures frequently soar into the triple digits. The humidity is ungodly. There was no way to comfortably survive without air conditioner until standard contractor hours the following week. I ended up paying overtime fees for emergency service. The licensed contractor accessed the outdoor component of the air conditioner & found a considerable accumulation of grime, dust & the debris from bugs & pests. There was mold growth on the coil & algae clogging the condensate drain. I was thankful that a thorough repair of the air conditioner restored the device to working condition. I’m fortunate that I didn’t need to upgrade the entire unit. The emergency repair was quite luxurious. Because I had failed to keep up with yearly service, the manufacturer’s warranty was no longer valid. I had to spend money the entire cost… From now on, I will make sure to call up a local Heating, Ventilation, & A/C contractor in St. Novemberine every Spring & schedule service for my air conditioner.
