Hillary was gone longer than he expected.
But, there was a disaster where he visited, which halted flights and all access routes out of the country.
What was meant to be a 1-week vacation lasted 3 weeks! Hillary longed to sleep in his bed by the time he got back home. He had left his AC unit running on vacation mode since he knew he wouldn’t be gone for long. But, one thing Hillary skipped before leaving was getting proper AC maintenance. He assumed the unit would be fine since he was only going away for 7 days. When he got home, the smell from inside the house was enough to alert him to an issue. The AC unit had stopped working during his long stay away from home. There was a muggy and foul stench in the house that he didn’t like. Hillary flung all the windows open as he spoke on the phone with someone working at an AC business in the city. He booked an appointment for later in the day so that his AC unit could receive some necessary inspection. The AC expert who came was professional, and Hillary told him about leaving the unit on vacation mode. He also explained his delayed return and how he found his house without any air conditioning. The AC expert checked the entire system and came across mold and mildew in the ductwork. However, the air conditioning had stopped working because of a clogged air filter preventing proper airflow into the house. The best thing to do was to conduct thorough AC maintenance and ductwork cleaning to restore proper function.
