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, and the only thing that kept me from turning on the air conditioning, was that it wasn’t maintained and inspected for summer.
I had been told the air conditioning unit had to be updated this year, and I wanted to put that cost off as long as possible.
I called the Heating and A/C company and they estimated me a price for a current 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 current air conditioning unit. I called the Heating and A/C company that afternoon, and asked them to come out and wash the old A/C unit! When the Heating and A/C worker arrived the next afternoon, he said it was going to be hot, and it was a fantastic thing I was having the air conditioning cleaned and maintained. I agreed and said nothing about the need for a current air conditioning that had been told to me last year, however he made a few minor repairs and told me it should keep it going for a while, although 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 current one before next summer.
