My wife and I had a brand new AC system installed in the beginning of may.
Last year was a hard summer for the machine due to all of the storms.
There was a ton of humidity in the air and the air conditioning system had to work extremely hard to keep up. In May, I had a brand new AC unit installed including an air compressor and new evaporator coils. I never anticipated that I would have to replace the system so quickly. Sadly, last week there was a hurricane with wind gusts up to 80 miles an hour. A tree in the backyard fell over the fence and right on top of the outdoor AC compressor. The tree was so heavy that it smashed through the roof and the side of the house and down on top of the AC compressor. There was so much damage that we had to call an emergency contractor to put a tarp on the roof and cover the areas. I was worried that water damage would cause even more problems. After the tree fell on the AC compressor, I had to contract my insurance company to see if they would cover the damages. I was thankful that they would cover the damages including the new AC unit, roof, garage, and patio. The insurance company also covered the costs of brand new shingles for the entire roof. The old shingles have a different color than the new ones that we picked so they had to pay for shingles on the entire roof of the house.
