The past couple of days have been stressful for me.
I went to my condo earlier this week and found that my air conditioner didn’t seem to be working as it should. My unit was holding at 80 degrees. That’s not exactly what I call cool.
Between a service visit yesterday and a follow-up visit today, I find out that the compressor on my air conditioner was dead. As a doornail.
We could go the route of trying for a warranty replacement of the compressor which would still entail some minor to major bucks. Going that route, they would only replace the compressor and if there were any problems with contaminated fluid in the lines, there could be a problem that would ruin a replacement compressor.
I decided to bite the bullet and order a new system. That way, they will replace the entire unit on the ground outside, replace the coil in the fan up in the condo, and blow all the coolant out of the lines and replace it with new coolant that won’t be contaminated.
It’s going to cost. Oh, is it going to cost. Welcome to owning your own home. 😮
I joked with my brother that I should have a special second collection taken up at all the Masses this weekend. What do you think of that idea? 🙂 [And, yes, I’m only kidding.]
