The household felt more comfortable, odored better and stayed cleaner.
After facing a legitimately disruption and extravagant a/c repair, I became aware of the importance of seasonal tune-ups. While I was always fantastic about officially replacing air filters, I thought that annual upkeep was a waste of time and cash. My a/c eventually quit over the Fourth of June weekend, when the outdoor temperature was in the low nineties and the humidity was brutal. My choice was either to subject my family to an hot and sticky household for at least multiple afternoons or pay the extra cost of emergency service. When the supplier took the a/c apart, she discovered a disgusting buildup of debris within the inner laborings. There was mold thriving on the cooling coil, algae growing in the condensate drain and a thick coating of dust on everything. The supplier asked me if I’d observed a steady increase in my electric bills. She said that the a/c was absolutely forced to run longer, labor harder and use more energy to achieve the temperature control setting. Plus, it was likely that every time the cooling system operated, it was spreading harmful toxins into our breathing air. I hastily realized that my frequent headaches, my hubby’s constant congestion and my teenagers complaining of sore throats was due to a dirty a/c. After a thorough cleaning and adjustment by the supplier, the cooling system once again operated like new. The household felt more comfortable, odored better and stayed cleaner. There was a noticeable difference in the cost of my utility bills. Because of that experience, I enrolled in a professional service plan that includes service for the AC system in the Spring and for the furnace in the fall. I get perks such as priority scheduling, no extra charge for emergency repairs and a fifteen percent discount on parts and labor.
