My husband fixed the AC unit, and the HVAC company replaced it
My husband and I had been discussing getting a new air conditioning unit before summer. It was nearly time to have the old air conditioning serviced, and we thought that instead of having the servicing done, we would just buy a new AC unit. I thought the discussion was over, and I was going to call the HVAC company when I got home from town. When I got home, my husband was in the backyard. He told me he found a problem with the air conditioning unit. He had ripped the AC unit apart and there were parts everywhere. He showed me the broken fan, and said it had to be the part that was broken. I went inside to put the groceries away. My husband was fiddling with the fan and half an hour later, he announced he had fixed the AC unit. After asking if he was sure it was going to run, he chuckled and told me to have faith. He walked into the living room and turned the thermostat from heat to cool, but nothing happened. The air conditioning wasn’t working. He went outside to make sure he had connected it and turned the power back on to the AC unit. After flipping the breaker switch, the air conditioning unit still didn’t turn on. He frowned and told me to call the HVAC company. We needed a new air conditioning unit. My husband fixed the AC unit, and the HVAC company replaced it. I had to give my husband kudos because he tried. There was nothing lost, because we had already planned on replacing the AC.
