An icy situation

My buddy called me the other day to tell me that he was having problems with his air conditioner and asked that I take a look at it. Normally I tell people to just call the shop and make an appointment but he is one of my best friends from college so I agreed to check it out. The way I look at it, it is like asking your auto mechanic friend to fix your car for free and I don’t like it when people ask me to look at things without paying for it. After all this is my livelihood and I would like them to respect the fact that I work as an HVAC technician. This is my livelihood and I don’t mind helping people out in a pinch but as a normal thing it cuts into my families income. The same can be said if you hire someone on the side to work on your HVAC system. You not only void the warranty that comes with your system but the work is not guaranteed like it is when you hire a reputable company to come in and do the job. This can end up costing you more in the long run. At any rate, the reason my buddy called was because he said that his air conditioner was coated in ice. The most common reason that this happens is the lack of refrigerant or small leaks. It can be an easy fix if caught early and hiring a professional is usually the best course of action to address it.
