My partner and I moved into our home 6 years ago.
The Heating, Ventilation plus A/C component was around 10 years old.
That is a long time, but not too much in the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C world. I read that with good maintenance it could live to be about twenty years old. Rather than hire out Heating, Ventilation plus A/C service, I took care of the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C upkeep on my own. I cleaned, oiled and tightened all loose parts. I mucked out the condensate drain, washed the cooling coil and lubricated the fan belt. I did it all plus the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C worked wonderful. Last year my partner decided to have a Heating, Ventilation plus A/C professional do the service. She saw an article on the importance of Heating, Ventilation plus A/C service done by a real licensed contractor. She insisted that the job needed to be done by someone other than me. I finally gave in plus let my partner have the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C professional come in. The Heating, Ventilation plus A/C guy came and went. The Heating, Ventilation plus A/C no longer worked after he left. On a 90 degree afternoon all of us did not have AC. I tried to fix the concern and I couldn’t. I then had to call the guy back into our home plus he told me our Heating, Ventilation plus A/C device was totally shot. He couldn’t make a repair to save it. I needed to buy a brand modern A/C system. I was not happy to say the least. I ended up paying for A/C service, a brand new device and babysitting the replacement job because I didn’t trust the guy. I have a brand modern A/C device plus nobody but me will touch it.
