I am not good at taking care of our many systems plus appliances! I forget to wipe the filter on the vacuum cleaner plus clothes dryer.
I never remember to drain the boiling water tank.
I neglect to wipe the aerators on the faucets plus gutters along the roof, the oil in our automobile rarely gets changed. I don’t schedule maintenance for the furnace or air conditioning system. I finally was forced to call for service because the air conditioning system quit completely last July. It had been warning of problems for a while. It was making quite a bit of noise every time it started up plus the amount of cool air coming from the vents had diminished. I kept lowering the thermostat plus the thermostat struggled to keep up. The air also odored must plus there was a lot more dust blowing around the house; When the Heating, Ventilation & A/C business took the air conditioning system apart, he showed myself and others the inner workings, however he was really disgusted with our lack of attention to upkeep. There was a significant amount of mold growing on the cooling coils plus algae thriving in the condensate drain. The amount of dust plus debris build-up was downright disgusting. The professional told myself and others that every time the air conditioning system ran it was most likely sending bacteria plus other allergens into the breathing air. It was also running more often, using more energy plus costing myself and others more in electricity; After paying the high cost of repair, I agreed to sign up for a maintenance plan. The Heating, Ventilation & A/C dealer now calls myself and others in the Spring plus fall to remind myself and others to schedule tune-ups for the air conditioning system plus furnace.
