Some HVAC service calls are a little more interesting than others. 👀

There’s a reason homeowners get attached to these old systems.

Some of them have been cooling the same house for 20, 25, even 30+ years. New equipment is far more efficient — but when you see an old R-22 unit still doing its job, you can’t help but wonder how long the new ones will last.

Some service calls are quick.

Others ask a little more out of you.

Some service calls start before you ever open the toolbox.

This was one of those nights. 😅

Technically, it still is summer…

First Alert 9-Day Forecast

💨 Saturday: The heat starts cranking up. Windy, mostly sunny and 93°.

🔥 Sunday & Monday: 97° both days! The humidity climbs too, so it’ll feel even hotter. Monday morning’s low of 79° tells you just how much warm, muggy air will be in place.

🥵 September starts HOT: Tuesday through Thursday stay around 95°, roughly 10° above normal, with overnight lows barely dropping out of the upper 70s.

🌡️ Friday through next weekend: A slow retreat from the hottest temperatures, but 90°–93° is still above normal.

☔ And perhaps the most noticeable feature of this 9-Day: Not a drop of rain in sight.

September apparently looked at the calendar and said, “Nah. I’ll be July for a while.” 😎

I wonder when the last time that filter was changed…

All it needed was a little flick of the wrist and a furry second opinion.

Hot Saturday. AC running nonstop. House still couldn’t keep up.

That’s when you stop staring at the equipment and start looking at the whole system.
