It was eighty-two outside and the temperature was supposed to be close to ninety the next day.
I was looking at my air conditioning and considering turning it on.
The only thing that kept me from turning on the air conditioning, was that it wasn’t serviced and checked for summer. I had been told the air conditioning unit had to be replaced this year, and I wanted to put that cost off as long as possible. I called the HVAC company and they quoted me a price for a new air conditioning unit. I almost fainted when I heard the price. I told them I needed to keep the old air conditioning unit running, no matter what it cost. The costs of repairs couldn’t be nearly as high as the cost of the new air conditioning unit. I called the HVAC company that afternoon, and asked them to come out and clean the old AC unit. When the HVAC technician arrived the next morning, he said it was going to be hot, and it was a good thing I was having the air conditioning cleaned and serviced. I agreed and said nothing about the need for a new air conditioning that had been told to me last year. He made a few minor repairs and told me it should keep it going for a while, but he wasn’t sure it would last the season. I thanked him for his work and paid him. I had four months to keep the air conditioning unit running, and hopefully I could save money for a new one before next summer.
