My personal office at work has a window air conditioner unit.
It worked pretty well for my first year with the company.
However, I will admit that it did emit a sort of faint mildew smell. It eventually started dripping condensate on the carpet. I was a bit too lazy and slow to address this problem. I simply put a plastic container under the air conditioner to catch the condensate. In reality, I should have called out for an HVAC technician pretty quickly once I noticed the leak. Ultimately however, I did not. Further complications arose, and before I knew it the window air conditioner unit was blowing out tepid air! It did not matter what I set the thermostat to, it simply was not able to produce cool air anymore, much less cold air! That’s when I finally decided to call out a heating and air conditioning specialist. The repairs were costly, despite the fact that it was simply a window AC unit. The HVAC technician told me that the cost would not have been so high had I addressed the issue much more quickly than I did. I just feel that certain things should work as they are supposed to without me needing to give them much attention. I guess that pretty much means that I take the air conditioner for granted. Well, I guess I can’t do that anymore. I suppose calling out an HVAC technician isn’t all that difficult to head these things off at the pass. I mean it’s not like I’m the one fixing it!
