Summer is approaching and my A/C is still broken
Much to my surprise living without an air condition for the last three months has been pretty tolerable.
The weather has been much more temperate than usual, which was a pleasant surprise. I open up the windows for a crossbreeze, and while the days are a little humid, the nights have been lovely. As a big bonus, my monthly utility bills have dropped by more than half. This has enabled me to set aside a little money, so that I could get the AC checked out before the temps start rising any further. Hopefully I also have enough money to get the A/C fixed, but that all depended on what the technician had to say. The man came over last weekend and spent about thirty minutes doing a full HVAC system inspection before talking to me about the results. I don’t speak HVAC, so most of what he told me sounded like gibberish. I asked the HVAC tech to cut to the chase and tell me how much it would cost. When he said it would cost two thousand dollars to do all the necessary HVAC repairs, I thanked him kindly and asked him to leave. It might as well have been a million dollars! Instead I will invest a small fraction of that money into a small, portable air conditioning unit. This device is only powerful enough for cooling down one room, but for a summer this hot that will be better than no cooling at all. Maybe when I win the lottery I can afford to get proper A/C repairs done.
