My HVAC system took the backburner this year and I felt really guilty about it.
I’m usually very good about taking care of my furnace and air conditioner, but I’ve been extremely busy this year. My schedule is busier than it’s ever been and I naturally left my HVAC system at the bottom of my to-do list because it was completely out of my mind. I couldn’t see my heat or air, so it was out of my mind until recently. It was the final weeks of summer and my AC system was powering through an unusual heat wave. I began to notice that my AC system was powering on and off constantly and that some of the rooms in my house were a different temperature. For instance, my bedroom was several degrees warmer than the living room and they were right next to each other. There was no logical reason for my room to be warmer than the others so I knew something wasn’t right. I also remembered my neglect towards my HVAC system and how I shouldn’t be surprised. Instead of trying to find and fix the issue myself, I called the HVAC company and asked if they could send an HVAC professional to my house immediately. Thankfully, they had someone who was able to squeeze me in before the end of the work day and they were able to repair my AC system. I had neglected my HVAC system for too long and it finally caught up with me. The HVAC professional reinforced that I had to take care of my HVAC system if I wanted it to run efficiently.
