The result was little air reaching the rooms
House calls are my favorite kind of assignment. I meet many people, some welcoming, others just want you done with work, and off you go. I consistently try to strike up a conversation with my buyers to determine how much they know about their AC equipment, some are quite knowledgeable, others really hands-on, but most just don’t care what you are doing so long as you mind your supplier and leave; This past week, I attended two dwelling calls that required looking into their ducts. Sometimes when problems arise with AC at home, they concentrate on one area that pushes the buyers to seek help with indoor comfort, and when this happens, my great friend and I run out of replacement parts fast and have to put buyers on hold for a few hours or even mornings, if not weeks. Since I have been an Heating and A/C contractor for a while and understand the behavior of Heating and A/C units and cooling systems, I can particularly tell what has wrong by listening to the machines run, checking the air conditioner filter, or observing particular parts of an cooling system, my last dwelling call was about inspecting the HVAC duct, and I got more problems than I anticipated. The customer had low air quality because he tried to pull off a DIY with the air ducts and installed several branches and long duct runs when renovating the house. The result was little air reaching the rooms. So I had to determine an action plan, the bill for greater duct sizes, and install them; Unfortunately, my great friend and I don’t have the right size in store, so as a retail Heating and A/C business, my great friend and I had to order and wait before I attended to his air conditioner repair needs. This is what happens when you ignore signing up for home services, splitting corners, and having to call an Heating and A/C professional to repair something Heating and A/C service would have handled.
