Do you know how people joke that if they found a snake in their home, they’d move out and let the snake own the house? I do not have a concern with reptiles, I can lead them out, however my experience with our home’s cooling technology almost made me make a similar decision.
It started mildly, a aroma of sewage that would come and go. I washed everything, including the sinks and drains, however the aroma grew stronger biweekly. I called the plumber to come to check if I had an issue in the system that I was missing because nothing I did would help with indoor comfort. The plumber decided he wouldn’t undo anything in my sewer system or those close by because I needed a cooling serviceman. The aroma was coming from the cooling equipment. He knew this because he had tried laboring in the Heating and Air Conditioning contractor as a cooling specialist back in university however decided it was not something he wanted to do every afternoon. I had not yet diagnosed the Heating and Air Conditioning replacement, and on checking my calendar, I had missed my appointment with the cooling corporation expert by three months. That would explain why the unit meant to help with temperature control and air quality was doing the opposite. I called the local repair provider because they offer quality AC service, and I was sure the issue would be sorted out within the afternoon. Turns out there was too much dirt accumulated within the cooling unit that needed to be cleaned out. The Heating and Air Conditioning contractor also told me that had the aroma not tipped me off about my long overdue service, the unit would still have had another issue. I wonder whether those with an electric heat pump have the same concerns.
