It had been a hot night, but we pushed through with the aid of the standing fans.
Our electric heat pump had broken down the evening before, and though we called the a/c worker, we had to tolerate the heat through the night. I was up early the following morning, as the humidity would not let me have my beauty sleep. I started cleaning the house to keep myself busy. The a/c professionals arrived around eight and immediately went to work. They began executing the air conditioner tune-up to establish the issue. After a few minutes of working on the unit, they announced that a significant part was faulty, making the entire system virtually useless. Fortunately, the indoor comfort business downtown was running a sale, so I took full advantage and purchased the ductless mini-split unit to help with indoor comfort. I had foreseen this and started saving money for the new air conditioning system. The cooling specialist removed the malfunctioned unit to fit the new system. I was involved in helping them move things around. I felt like a team member during the entire HVAC installation process. I learned many things about the air conditioner service and how to maintain a quality HVAC system. Anyone would have mistaken me for an employee of the cooling corporation when they saw me hard at work with the actual team. I got to install my digital thermostat under the supervising eye of the lead technician. After about six hours, my home was comfortable and cool from the summer heat, and to think that I had helped achieve this comfort, made my heart full of excitement.
