I noticed that certain rooms felt hot, & there was an unpleasant stink in the house, however my electric bill was noticeably higher, but I didn’t do anything about it until the air conditioner completely quit.
I am not conscientious about official service for our vehicles, appliances or property, i neglect to have the oil changed in our car & ignore the warning lights on the dash. I am lazy about cleaning out the gutters along the roof, draining the hot water tank & emptying the lint trap of the dyer. I wait until the pop maker refuses to operate before I wash it. I don’t schedule professional service for the furnace or air conditioner & never remember to replace the air filters, and although I set reminders for myself, attempt to be more efficient & am not cheerful about facing repairs, I just can’t force myself to be more proactive; Just recently, the air conditioner started having problems. It was making a high-pitched screeching sound & there was definitely less air coming from the vents. Although I’d needed to lower the control component setting more than 2 times, I never got around to scheduling professional service. I noticed that certain rooms felt hot, & there was an unpleasant stink in the house, however my electric bill was noticeably higher, but I didn’t do anything about it until the air conditioner completely quit. It still took myself and others more than 2 mornings to call for repair, when the Heating, Ventilation & A/C corporation took the air conditioner apart, she showed myself and others the buildup of contaminants within the unit… There was an scary amount of mold thriving on the cooling coil. There was an abundance of algae growing in the condensate drain; Dust, lint, hair & all sorts of harmful toxins created a thick coating over all of the components. The corporation told myself and others that every time the cooling system started up, the accumulation of debris was not only restricting airflow through the system however also entering the breathing air of the house. Since then, I’ve been better about changing air filters & setting up service for the air conditioner.
