I am super tired.
I haven’t slept in about 36 hours and it is all because of my air conditioning system.
Tuesday started out as a regular day: I went to work, got home, had dinner, and started getting ready for bed. Just as I lay my head on my pillow I heard a terrible screeching noise coming from my air conditioning system outside. I bolted out of bed to check it out. That is when I started smelling smoke. I turned off my air conditioner at the thermostat then I ran outside in my pajamas. That was when I was greeted by smoke coming out of my utility shed. I could also see flames through the cracks in the door. I knew better than to open the door and cause a flash over. Instead, I called the fire department. They arrived in just a few minutes and got my air conditioner fire under control. Needless to say, my air conditioner is completely ruined. Apparently it seized up, caught fire, and the fire spread to my hot water heater. So now I don’t have air conditioning or hot water. Thankfully my home was saved and there is almost no damage outside of the utility closet. Needless to say I got no sleep last night. Today I spent the whole day calling up repair companies. I got a plumber out this afternoon to replace the hot water heater. I then got an HVAC company out to replace my air conditioner. That cost quite a bit of money. From now on I’m going to have my HVAC system service regularly so this doesn’t happen again.
