I had working air conditioning again within hours and at no cost to me
When my house kept getting hotter everyday last week, I was wondering if my cool indoor air was somehow leaking outside. I spent two hours applying new weatherstripping to all of the doors and windows through my house. I even got my caulk gun out of the tool shed and resealed the windowsills. Obviously this work needed to be done in the first place, but it didn’t solve my problems with cooling performance indoors. There was still some unknown factor that was accounting for the hot temperatures in my house during the afternoon hours. I couldn’t find leaks in my attic, nor could I find them anywhere else in my sprawling house. My only other option was to call the heating and cooling company to get a professional inspection by one of their trained technicians. Surely they could figure out what was wrong with my house and the warm temperatures inside. The technician arrived the next day and spent two hours running tests. Eventually he came back to my front door and told me that I simply needed more coolant. Over long periods of time, the coolant inside your air conditioner slowly depletes. This is something that most HVAC technicians do during routine service and maintenance calls. Thankfully the new coolant was covered by my maintenance contract. I had working air conditioning again within hours and at no cost to me. This is in part why I love having a service contract with a reputable heating and cooling provider. A lot of minor repairs and issues are covered by these contracts, which makes the annual price a lot easier to swallow.
