When I heard my son was going to try to repair the air conditioner himself, I almost spit out the water I was drinking! That was a horrible idea, I told him.
I told him that he made a mistake on the heating and cooling component, he could easily electrocute himself! He was very quick to dismiss my worries, and assured me he would do it all just fine.
He watched a few videos online, and in his words, it looked easy. He thinks that it’s as simple as watching a few videos and he suddenly becomes a HVAC professional? I don’t think so, if that was the case, everyone could repair their own HVAC devices. I don’t even know much about heaters and air conditioners, but even I saw how bad of an idea that was. He was wanting to try to repair the HVAC machines to save money, but I asked him, is saving money really worth it if it costs your life? He was still very dismissive and kept reassuring me that he would be fine, and I was over worrying. No, no no, I was not having any of that. Regardless of whether he liked it or not, I called every local HVAC business in the area until I could find one that would send a HVAC technician out to his house today! Thankfully the HVAC repairman intercepted him before he could work on the air conditioner, and even though my son was really mad at me, I would rather have him be alive and angry then have him fried and dead.
