The cost of the bill was obscene.
For years I would reliably call my local Chicago A/C repair company for seasonal service. I would have an appointment every Spring and allow them to clean the inner laborings. They would wash, wipe, scrub, and then leave. There was never an A/C repair or anything major. I started wondering what I was paying for, but you can’t really see it, just tak ethier word for it. So I then made the home to no longer do A/C service. After two years of missing service my component got back at me. The system totally shut down and would not turn on. It was the middle of my summer time celebration where I had a whole crop of people. I had to call for Chicago A/C emergency service on a weekend. That added cost alone made me all sweaty and nervous. I then had to navigate an A/C professional during a celebration, on a weekend, in a tepid house. It was horrible. The guy showed me how gross my system was inside. There was also a worn part that had given out that needed replacing. The cleaning, lubricating, oiling, and fixing all took hours to repair. By that point most people had left because my home was so hot. The cost of the bill was obscene. The guy said I could have prevented it all with routine A/C service. I immediately made sure to enroll in cooling service again so that an emergency repair never happened to me. It would have been cheaper to pay for service for two years then that one repair. It was a dumb decision on my part.
