Too Hot!
At the end of May, my central air conditioning
unit broke. I got a technician to come to my house to check it out. We found
that the compressor, the main piece of the unit, had a shortage in the wiring.
Basically, I needed a new one, which would cost nearly $1,000, plus, the new
part or unit (if I got the outside unit replaced) may not be compatible with
the Freon in my unit. To make a long story short, I needed temporary relief
from the Georgia heat until I could figure out whether to get a new unit or the one I have fixed. I decided to replace the unit, but I didn’t have the
thousands it would take to replace it. Therefore, I had to do extensive research to
figure out what type of air conditioning would temporarily cool down my town home. I live in a subdivision with a home association; therefore, I couldn’t
place window units in my windows. Besides that, I couldn’t do it myself, and I
was too cheap to pay anyone to do it (I felt I had paid enough just to get the
problem diagnosed). So I purchased a portable air conditioner, and for the most
part, it keeps the top half of my town home cool now. The top part of the house
is not a huge space, and it is not terribly difficult to cool it. The bottom half is
already pretty cool. I have good insulation.
I’m going to purchase another portable air
conditioner, but for right now, it’s a whole
lot cooler in my town home these days! Yes! I have much-needed relief from the
Georgia heat and humidity, and that’s something I thank God for! There’s a
saying that goes, “You never miss your
water until your well runs dry.” Well, I’ve never even thought about my air conditioning unit until it stopped working on a
hot day.
Days 3-6
“I’m grateful for the small things I have
taken for granted such as cool air in the summer!”
