My husband left for the islands on Tuesday and the kids and I woke up on Wednesday morning to a house that was totally hot and completely uncomfortable.
I knew that the air conditioner wasn’t working at all, because there wasn’t any air coming out of the vents. I didn’t hear the machine running at all. When I looked at the alarm clock, I knew exactly why the air conditioner wasn’t working. There was no power in the house. When the power came on a couple of hours later, the AC unit did not automatically trigger and start working. I turned the thermostat to the off position, we did 90 seconds, and then turned the setting back to the cool position. Nothing seemed to help the AC unit come on, so I decided to contact the repair shop. I had to wait until later that afternoon, because there was a long list of people with AC problems. It was a very hot and humid day, so I decided to sit outside with the kids. We’re lucky to have a pool at the house. In times like these when there is no cool air in the house, it is nice to have a cold and refreshing pool of water in the backyard. The kids played in the water and I hung out by the pool until we had a technician that was available to fix the problems we were having. Thankfully, the issue was not severe. It didn’t take long at all for the knowledgeable AC repairman to fix the problem.
