Something that I almost learned the hard way is that it is very important to change out your A/C filters.

But I will get to that in a bit.

About a year ago, I was struggling in a lot of ways. After a painful break up, I moved away to a new city, for a fresh start. It was harder to adjust than I thought, and while I am usually good at getting a lot of new friends, I just couldn’t connect with anybody. I had never felt so alone in those moments. It didn’t help that since I was in such a rush to get away, I wasn’t picky with the place I bought. A stupid choice for sure, but now I live in a small and crammed home. I was so busy stressing about all of the above, that I began to slack on my responsibilities, and it almost cost me a lot. One of the things I started slacking on is proper care of my cooling and heating units. I used to get routine HVAC maintenance twice a year, but I gradually stopped. So when my HVAC system started presenting issues, that should have been my red flag to get the cooling component looked at before it was too late. I went ahead and called the A/C specialist, and the guy came over and looked over the cooling device. He told me that there was a part that was close to failing in the air conditioning system. Not only that, but he told me the A/C filter looked like it hadn’t been changed in 6 months. He was right, I had completely forgotten to change the HVAC filter. I am so glad I called the HVAC tech out now, because I might have been paying a really heft bill soon.
