Today was our 52nd 100+°F day this summer and apparently also the straw the broke the camel’s back. When I got home today my A/C was not on and the house was at 89°F. No amount of fiddling with the thermostat or the breakers has produced an improvement in the situation. I submitted a help ticket with Fox Service and called Strand Bros. and I suppose we’ll see who gets back to me first. If you ask me, six years isn’t very long for a system like that to go before failing but since it seems to me like it could just be a relay or something so I suppose I should withhold judgment. It is very hot though and I’m feeling cranky so I think I’m going to indulge myself and call it a piece of shit.
It’s not like it’s the most efficient thing in the world and if it were to be irrevocably dead it wouldn’t be so bad to get it replaced with something that didn’t use so much electricity. It’s probably not though. I think it might be dinner time. Dinner time somewhere with working A/C. Which would be just about when someone from a repair company would call me and say, “I can be there in five minutes, are you home?” I best be quick about it and then.
