As I sat in my living room, sweating like a pig in the middle of summer, I thought to myself that I really needed to get my HVAC system fixed. I realized that my air conditioner system needed professional attention, so I made the decision to call an HVAC tech. When the HVAC expert showed up, he appeared to have just finished doing another job, he looked like he was sweating and it was a long day for him as well. I tried to do my usual, turn on the fan and eat a popsicle to stay cool while the HVAC tech went to work. A loud crash indicated that the HVAC tech exited from my basement. He came to me moments later, with dust and he was covered in cobwebs. He showed me a section of ductwork that appeared to have been attacked by raccoons and the HVAC said that he thinks this is the problem. I got nervous and to have the thought of raccoons in my HVAC ventilation system was scary. The cooling expert said it was more common than I thought and he said he would have to replace this section of the ductwork and clean it out. He went back to work and after a little time, he came back to me with a smile and said that everything should be back in working order. The HVAC tech turned on the air conditioning and the feeling of having cool air conditioning once again felt great. The thought of raccoons left my mind and now I just want to lounge in the coolness. The HVAC tech took off and I was back to relaxation.
