I never thought that I would see a need for emergency HVAC.
I have heard of some heating and A/C businesses that offered it, but where I lived in the south, it was never really needed.
The temperatures were never really extreme enough to warrant an emergency. However, what I didn’t take into account was the fact that we do get occasional heat waves. Not very often, but when we do, it can be pretty bad. However, even during the heat waves, I was never that concerned, because I always had my cooling system working. However, when I met my boyfriend, he told me we can never be too careful, and the next time we had the A/C worker out, he agreed to pay for the HVAC service plan. I honestly thought it was a waste, but I also knew my boyfriend knew what he was doing. It wasn’t until a year later or so, that we actually ended up using the HVAC emergency plan. Before that, we used many of the other benefits like reduced prices and free HVAC maintenance, but until then we hadn’t used the emergency HVAC service. But then one summer, we had a massive heat wave, and our older A/C broke down. It was well over 100 degrees outside, and without the cooling from the HVAC system, our home quickly began to heat up as well. My boyfriend called the emergency service, and was able to have the cooling device fixed in under 30 minutes. It was incredibly impressive, and it was such a relief to have the cooling air back, the emergency HVAC really is a life saver.
