I suffered from an a/c breakdown in a heat wave

Life slowed down severely while the people I was with and I were in the height of the pandemic, but some of us were able to work from home, which created a better work/life balance… But personally, I enjoyed being at the condo because I was able to work in a comfortable environment! While working from home, I used our cooling system more than normal, however it was on every day especially while the people I was with and I were in the Summer weeks… Then everything worked great with it until a single day, I was in our yard, and heard a noise coming from the heating and A/C that didn’t sound right. I listened keenly, and as the noise progressed, I knew something was wrong with the unit. I instantly contacted our heating and A/C repairman to schedule an appointment, but due to the high volume of calls, she was unable to schedule myself and others for 2 days. I didn’t suppose I could go many days without an actual cooling system in that kind of weather, so I pressed our heating and A/C worker on the reason for the delay. She mentioned that she had an overwhelming number of service calls, however apparently, there were several clients who were having heating and A/C problems while the people I was with and I were in the Summer. It could be because the people I was with and I were in the middle of a heat wave, and the cooling systems were laboring overtime to keep up with the demand. I was upset about not having an air cooler for many days, although I was able to make it through, and when Steve finally checked our unit, she replaced a broken capacitor that she said had malfunctioned. She mentioned that she was seeing this issue a lot and equated it to the intensity of the heat from the sunshine that Summer. I am just glad it wasn’t a major issue, and I was able to keep laboring in a comfortable environment.
