I was so embarrassed by the state of my air filter the other morning when my Heating, Ventilation & A/C pro was in my house.
I had made an appointment to get the A/C tuned up so that it would be all ready to go in the Spring months when the weather starts heating up again.
I typically try to get my A/C tuned up by the end of the sizzling season because I suppose like I should deliver it a nice long rest before I begin using it again every morning in the Springtime & the summer. Anyway, the Heating, Ventilation & A/C pro was a really nice guy & both of us were talking about how important correct service is to the overall health & quality of your Heating, Ventilation & A/C system. I was agreeing with the tech about everything & both of us were shaking our heads together at the way that some people don’t take fantastic care of their heating & cooling systems. But then when the tech went to pull the air filter out of my A/C, I realized that I had not changed it in 8 months. The fact that I was kneeling there with him as he pulled it out & it was covered in so much dirt, dust, & grime really made me suppose stupid. I stood there sheepishly & he knew that I felt like such a dummy. He just shook his head sadly, like I had disappointed him in some way. It was really 1 of the most humbling things that has ever happened to me, if you want to think the truth!
