For Amanda, the fact that summer was here meant it was time to get ready to gather a few things from her trip.
She could not wait to head to the coast with her friends for the two-week vacation.
They had been planning and talking about the trip for quite some time. But it was never aligned with their busy work schedules. Finally, they all agreed to take some vacation days during early summer. Two days before it was time to leave, Amanda came home to find her AC unit had problems. For some reason, it was making a funny clicking noise which had Amanda worried. She had no intention of turning off the unit. Instead, Amanda wanted to leave it on a more cost-effective vacation mode. Amanda knew she had to handle the AC issue before leaving for her big trip. She did not waste any time and called the AC business in town to book an appointment. Since she was not heading into work the next day, Amanda would wait for the AC repair person to arrive. The AC professional came by her house to inspect the faulty HVAC at midday as her appointment. He heard the clicking sound and told Amanda he suspected the HVAC had a loose part inside. The AC professional had to turn off the AC unit to find out. After turning it off, he opened the air conditioner and noticed that a fan blade was breaking but had not dislodged completely. This was brushing against other parts of the system, causing the clicking noise. Amanda was lucky because if the blade broke off and started flying everywhere inside the unit, it would end up causing so much more damage.
