Leaving it to the pros
Leaving it to the pros
There seem to be a multitude of instances when I wish I could just stop what I’m doing, consider the implications and then stop before I do something stupid. But, that’s just me. There is just this section of myself and others that leds ego and pride to get the better of our wonderful judgement. And no, I’m not a big macho type dude, not in the slightest. I just periodically get out over our skis and it ends badly when it doesn’t need to. For example, take what just happened to our Heating, Ventilation, and A/C. I had noticed that something was up with the heating & cooling plan for almost a month straight. And each day, it appeared to get just that much more noticeable. It wasn’t even full on Summer heat yet but the cool air just wasn’t certainly blowing from the vent. This was odd and I should have just called the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C professionals right away. But, being the way I am, I decided to investigate the situation on our own. I started by having a peak at what I could find on the internet. It appeared to myself and others that the concern was a low refrigerant level. Then, I chose to have a try at a fix without the help of a certified Heating, Ventilation, and A/C professional. I went to the hardware store and bought an Heating, Ventilation, and A/C recharge kit. I still really had no idea what I was doing and of course, I overfilled the compressor and damaged it. Now, I did finally make that call to the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C professionals. I was just far too late with it.
