Next Door Neighbors by Pat Sandy for July 24, 2024

After moving into the home we’re currently living in after just 2 years in we had to get a repairman. This went on and off for several years, it finally died and we replaced it with a fantastic company and they guaranteed their work. So my husband and I took their policy (very cheap for a year) and if we ever have a problem it wouldn’t cost us to have them come out if there was a problem.

my ac unit failed, needed a startup capacitor maybe $100, but the repairman said the entire unit needed to be replaced. $10K. The repairman was just a sales person .

Ok, how about third Friday in November?

AC goes out in the summer… furnace goes out in the winter. Yep, right on schedule.

It should be no surprise that companies can’t suddenly “staff up” when a heat wave is predicted. But it is.

Let’s see…we do have a technician available this Saturday, for quadruple overtime rate.

I recently had a/c issues. We called a guy on Friday and he showed up on time the following Monday. $173.00 to charge freon and clean out water blockage. I’ve had guys who charge $200 just to say hello. There’s a lot of competition in Florida. I use someone who’s been recommended by friends. Good luck and stay cool.☺️

True that. It’s nearly impossible to get on the schedule before one has a heat stroke.

Their AC guy works on Labor Day?

I’ve occasionally been without air conditioning in the summer and occasionally without heat in the winter. IMO, the latter is preferable.
