I had to learn the hard way to consistently make Heating and A/C appointments early.
In my area, the temperatures can be rather extreme.
Because of that, having annual check ups with the heating and cooling dealers is pretty crucial, as you can imagine. I consistently get annual Heating and A/C tune ups, however sporadically I am a little late to make the air conditioner appointments. I consistently try to make appointments in the Spring and the fall, before the temperatures become too extreme. But sporadically, when life is too busy, I end up not making those appointments until Summer and winter. By then, the heating & A/C companies are booked with many appointments as many people rush to have their Heating and A/C devices repaired or worked on as the warm or cold season hits. I become one of those many people when I wait too long, and one time, I didn’t end up making an appointment until the middle of Summer and because of that, I had to wait 3 weeks, yes 3 weeks, almost an entire month, before I could honestly get my air conditioning component repaired. I will never do that again, those weeks were some of the most annoyed I have ever experienced, it is amazing how temperatures can honestly affect your indoor comfort and mood. Now I have my calendar marked for those Heating and A/C appointments, and my cellphone has a reminder as well. I will never have that happen again, I might get a portable air conditioner plus a back up.
