The upgrade project was expensive.
Chicago is well known for cold, snow and high winds. My pal and I are rather famous for our brutal winter time weather. However, the conditions are a challenge all year long. When Spring finally arrives, the snowmelt and rain can cause major complications with flooding. My pal and I often get hit with thunderstorms that knock out power lines. Last winter time was especially snowy and cold. When the weather warmed up, my buddy and I still had large piles of snow. Losing power due to a large storm was super inconvenient. Without electricity, the sump pump doesn’t run and my basement flooded, but plus, my buddy and I were separate from running water, lights and air conditioner. The strong winds knocked down trees and branches and caused harm to my outdoor AC unit. Even when power was restored, the cooling system wouldn’t start up. The Heating and Air Conditioning contractor I called for repairs checked out the device and told me that it would be less expensive to replace it. I doubted his honesty and hired another Heating and Air Conditioning contractor for a second opinion. They also advised investing into a up-to-date air conditioner. I wasn’t able to get my homeowners insurance to cover any of the cost because it was considered harm from a natural disaster. The AC’s manufacturer’s warranty was no longer valid. The upgrade project was expensive. I had expected the cooling device to last another five to ten years. At least the up-to-date model is more energy efficient, makes less noise and is compatible with a smart control unit. The Heating and Air Conditioning contractor I dealt with was entirely helpful and handled the upgrade quickly and smoothly.
