When you work as an HVAC technician, you are always seeing odd things.
People think they are going to save themselves some money by doing their own repairs, but ultimately they have to call the HvAC company.
I know it sounds odd, but I have already seen where people have tried to hold their HVAC equipment together with zip ties or even paper clips or duct tape. Trust me when I tell you that none of that works. I thought I had seen just about everything when I was called to this house because of lack of airflow. I take this serious because lack of airflow can destroy an HvAC system. I got to the house and I began to ask questions of the homeowner. By asking questions, you can get an idea of what is happening. The first thing I looked at was the air filter which is usually the problem when there is a lack of airflow. I started to laugh when I looked inside the air conditioner. I went inside and I asked the homeowner if she was aware that there were two air filters in the AC unit. She told me she was trying to stop the dander from her dogs from getting into the air conditioning unit. I explained to her that all she was doing was blocking off the airflow by doubling the air filters. I told her about the air filters that are made for pet owners and I even gave her one that I had in my service van. I don’t know if she’ll buy them, but they will work well and be just as cheap as her putting two air filters in at the same time.
