This past week has been the hottest week on record. When enjoying the news the other day I thought the meteorologist was exaggerating. Sometimes weather people get the weather wrong, especially where I live. During the winter season they’ll call for a large blizzard but then it’ll just be two inches of snow on the ground. Last year they called for a large rainstorm with flooding. Needless to say, their prediction was wrong once again. Therefore I thought this large heat wave that was supposed to be coming wasn’t really going to happen. Well I was wrong and the meteorologist predicted right. I was rather impressed by their predictions this time around. It was an unblessed event that my HVAC system decided to shut down on me during this really hot week. I called my HVAC provider and asked if I could get an appointment that day. Unblessedly he told me that I couldn’t because he was so swamped with other appointments due to the weather. Two afternoons later he showed up at my house. At this point I was covered in sweat, bought portable fans and had my windows open to circulate air. The HVAC supplier checked out my system. It turned out the evaporator coil on my A/C unit was not filled with refrigerant. He told me that this crucial since the evaporator coil is what swings the refrigerant from a liquid to a gas as it absorbs heat form the air. After he fixed the system, my house was back to its normal temperature and I wasn’t covered in sweat anymore.
