So the HVAC (heating and cooling) went out Sunday night. It was nearly 90° Saturday night and no cooler Sunday or Monday. I spent Sunday fiddling with it, and finally called for a repair appointment. No thank you I would wait and pay $99 on Wednesday afternoon rather than $165 immediately.
So this afternoon at 12:45 PM a very nice man came out and looked it over and about 1 PM, said the system had a short, it was the blower motor and it would be over $800 to fix it. Well, it had to be done, and I set about figuring out if I could put that on my credit card. I could.
At nearly 2:30PM he said it wasn't the blower motor and he was calling his supervisor to come over and help because he didn't know what it was. At about 4, he said they had figured it out, and at 4:30 turned it all on and it blew warm air or cold air, whatever was requested. He wrote up the bill and I got out my poor little credit card and asked if they offered a senior discount. They do.
The bill, presented with the discount at 4:48 PM, came to $193.24. Turns out blower motors are expensive, and they didn't charge me for the time they spent putting a new one in and taking it out.
Whew.
