A hard lesson to learn
There was way too much debris and the dust was wet like, allowing it to stick to the A/C machine
I am such an idiot every so often. My lovely wife and I have just moved into a cute little fixer upper beach house; The people I was with and I decided that we each really wanted to rip up the seasoned floors and take down some of the walls. We started working and began to realize just how tepid the lake house was; I thought nothing of it, I just whipped on the cooling system. I also started to wonder just many times in the construction process how good it was having AC. The air conditioning cools us down while the two of us were now working very hard. The dusty air kept circulating and making our breathing air good. It was a complete and total satisfaction having weather conditions control for the messy, dusty, drywall repair. After the many of us finished the job and turned off the AC, we literally never thought of it again until the next summer. Well I tried to start up our cooling system and noticed that the A/C took a lot of abuse. The dust from the construction was pulled into the system. The grime was loaded to the brim with fan blades and impossible to get off. The air filter was toast and the A/C machine could not even hardly turn on. I totally ruined our A/C system running it with that much dust in the overall air quality. It is at the level that it can’t be cleaned or repaired. There was way too much debris and the dust was wet like, allowing it to stick to the A/C machine. It was totally a bone head transfer by me. I should have done the construction with no AC, got the lake house nice and tidy and then ran a wash cooling system. A fan would have worked just as well.
