Have you ever had one of "those" days? Well, it happened to me when I got home yesterday afternoon. It wasn't one of those "wow... this is bad!" things. It was one of those things that creeps up on you slowly. It wasn't until John got home from work, after dark, that we realized something was really wrong... our A/C unit wasn't working properly =/ (that's a worried face for those of you who don't text).
Being the "maintenance guy" that he is, he began to pull the front panel off of the unit to see if it had "frozen up." No, that wasn't it. We were stumped. So, we watched some of our TV series that we like to watch in the evenings on Netflix while the temperature continued to climb... all the while the rain from hurrican Hermine was pouring down, causing the humidity and heat levels to rise. Sigh... it was going to be a very uncomfortable night.
Bright and early this morning, John got on the internet, with the rain continuing to pour, and researched our A/C unit to try and troubleshoot the issue. Once the rain let up he went out and took the unit apart to discover that the fan had stopped turning... the motor had gone bad! He took the motor out, took it to the shop at work and tried to get the fan off. Fortunately "someone" was watching out for us. If the fan had come off the new motor wouldn't have fit the existing fan. He drove into town, picked up the new fan and motor, installed it and it is blowing cold air! YEA!
This entire process saved us time, money and expense because I am married to the best hubby/handy man in the world!
Thanks... and stay tuned!
