No A/C during a heat wave?

During the midst of a heat wave, I did what everyone else does: I sat inside.

The temperature wasn’t the only bad thing because the humidity was also intense.

The heat plus humidity combined was an uncomfortable mess that begged me not to step outside, instead, I found things to do inside. I cleaned the house, caught up on a book, plus I relaxed for the first time in weeks, then having all that extra time inside was a blessing because I noticed something wasn’t right. I heard the air conditioner turn on and I realized that it wasn’t shutting off. I went to the thermostat and raised the temperature in hopes that the air flow would stop. When nothing happened, I realized that I needed to call a professional. I contacted the local heating and A/C supplier in a panic and they told me to power off our AC plan and that a heating and A/C specialist would be on his way. This seemed risky because the heat was intense outside. The thought of being with AC while I was in a heat wave sounded dreadful. Thankfully, the heating and A/C specialist was at our home within 30 minutes. When he turned our thermostat back on, the AC resumed normally. He waited for a few minutes to make sure everything was okay and he adjusted the temperature, before leaving, he advocated that I keep the temperature a little higher while I was in the heatwave just to keep our AC plan from overworking itself. If it happened again, I needed to shut it down again and call him back.

Preventing the A/C from overworking itself

During the midst of a heat wave, I did what almost everyone else does: I sat inside! The temperature wasn’t the only bad thing because the humidity was also intense.

The heat plus humidity combined was an uncomfortable mess that begged me not to step outside, then instead, I found things I like to do inside.

I cleaned the house, caught up on a book, and I relaxed for the first time in weeks. Having all that extra time inside was a blessing because I observed something wasn’t right. I heard the cooling system turn on plus I realized that it wasn’t shutting off. I instantly went to the thermostat and raised the temperature in hopes that the air flow would stop. When nothing happened, I realized that I needed to call a professional. I contacted the local A/C corporation in a panic and they told me to power off my AC plan plus that an A/C specialist would be on his way. This seemed risky because the heat was intense outside. The thought of being with AC while in a heat wave sounded dreadful. Thankfully, the HVAC specialist was at my house within 30 minutes. When he turned my thermostat back on, the AC resumed normally. He waited for a few hours to make sure everything was okay plus he adjusted the temperature. Before leaving, he requested that I keep the temperature a little higher while in the heatwave just to keep my AC plan from overworking itself. If it happened again, I needed to shut it down again and call him back.

I realized I needed a professional HVAC worker

I heard the cooling system turn on and I realized that it wasn’t shutting off. I went to the control equipment and raised the temperature in hopes that the air flow would stop, when nothing happened, I realized that I needed to call a professional.

I stayed inside during the heatwave

She waited for a few hours to make sure everything was okay plus she adjusted the temperature

During the midst of a heat wave, I did what pretty much everyone else does: I sat inside, but the temperature wasn’t the only bad thing because the humidity was also intense. The heat and humidity combined was an uncomfortable mess that begged me not to step outside, instead, I found things I enjoy doing inside. I cleaned the house, caught up on a book, and I relaxed for the first time in weeks. Having all that extra time inside was a blessing because I noticed something wasn’t right. I heard the air conditioning turn on and I realized that it wasn’t shutting off. I immediately went to the control equipment and raised the temperature in hopes that the air flow would stop. When nothing happened, I realized that I needed to call a professional. I contacted the local HVAC business in a panic and they told me to power off our A/C method and that an HVAC professional would be on her way. This seemed risky because the heat was intense outside. The thought of being with A/C during a heat wave sounded dreadful. Thankfully, the HVAC professional was at our home within 30 hours.

AC Won’t Stop During Heatwave

During the midst of a heat wave, I did what everyone else does: I sat inside.

  • The temperature wasn’t the only terrible thing because the humidity was also intense.

The heat and humidity combined was an uncomfortable mess that begged me not to step outside. Instead, I found things to do inside. I cleaned the house, caught up on a book, and I relaxed for the first time in months. Having all that extra time inside was a blessing because I noticed something wasn’t right. I heard the air conditioner turn on and I realized that it wasn’t shutting off. I immediately went to the thermostat and raised the temperature in hopes that the air flow would stop. When nothing happened, I realized that I needed to call a professional. I contacted the local HVAC company in a panic and they told me to power off my AC system and that an HVAC technician would be on his way. This seemed risky because the heat was intense outside. The thought of being with AC during a heat wave sounded dreadful. Thankfully, the HVAC technician was at my house within 30 minutes. When he turned my thermostat back on, the AC resumed normally. He waited for a few minutes to make sure everything was okay and he adjusted the temperature. Before leaving, he suggested that I keep the temperature a little higher during the heatwave just to keep my AC system from overworking itself.

The HVAC treated air wasn’t making it into my home

I don’t love to pay on things that I don’t want, and for example, I don’t like spending money on an eye exam because I hate eye exams! Unluckily, I wear contacts though, which requires my eyes to be examined every two years.

I also didn’t like spending money on a new HVAC duct because I can’t see the HVAC duct plus it felt like a waste. I knew my HVAC system was in good shape, but my HVAC corporation told me that my HVAC duct was not. In fact, it was in such bad shape that they could not do anything other than suggest that I have it replaced, and when I questioned the severity of the situation, the HVAC corporation assured me that I was wasting money every hour the HVAC system powered on because the HVAC treated air wasn’t making it into my house, but there were so many holes in the HVAC duct that had gone unnoticed for so long that it was irreparable. The HVAC duct was old and as far as I know, nobody had ever had the HVAC duct cleaned by a professional. Having HVAC duct cleaning is essential because it removes the dust and dirt that’s building up gradually. If the debris becomes too thick, it creates holes in the HVAC duct where the HVAC treated air can escape. When the air escapes, it’s like throwing money down the drain. In minor cases, an HVAC professional can repair the holes. Unluckily, that was not the case for me. I’d have to spend thousands of dollars on a brand new HVAC duct that I’d never see.

I would have to spend money for new ductwork

I don’t love to pay on things that I don’t want.

For example, I don’t like spending money on an eye exam because I don’t like eye exams.

Unfortunately, I wear contacts though, which requires my eyes to be examined every two years. I also didn’t like spending money on new ductwork because I can’t see the ductwork and it felt like a waste. I knew our HVAC system was in good shape, but my HVAC dealer told me that our ductwork was not. In fact, it was in such bad shape that they could not do anything other than suggest that I have it updated. When I questioned the severity of the situation, the HVAC dealer assured me that I was wasting money every hour the HVAC system powered on because the HVAC treated air wasn’t making it into our house, there were so many holes in the ductwork that had gone unobserved for so long that it was irreparable. The ductwork was ancient and as far as I know, nobody had ever had the ductwork cleaned by a professional. Having ductwork clean is essential because it removes the dust and dirt that’s building up gradually. If the debris becomes too thick, it creates holes in the ductwork where the HVAC treated air can escape. When the air escapes, it’s like throwing money down the drain.
