They were able to come out that evening and substitute the broken pipe and then refill the refrigerant, an emergency visit like this was not cheap
I am so mad I could spit… The landscaping supplier that our housing development uses mowed over my a/c line… Of course, the like broke and all of our refrigerant escaped! So the a/c is not working, i did not suppose this until I got new home from work and observed that the home was absolutely hot and sizzling air was coming out of the ducts. I went outside to see if I could find the reason why. I was not entirely expecting to be able to see the problem, because I’m not a qualified HVAC specialist… However, I could absolutely see a large gash in the pipe leading from the compressor to the house. This month was law mowing day so it had to have been the lawn mowers. I called up the landscaping supplier to complain but they said it wasn’t them, then who else could it have been? This mark was either made by a lawn mower blade or else someone intentionally attacked my HVAC system with an axe. My money is on it being a lawnmower blade. I left a message for the housing manager too but I doubt that I will hear back until tomorrow. I can’t wait until then to get my HVAC system fixed so I called up my official HVAC service guys. They were able to come out that evening and substitute the broken pipe and then refill the refrigerant, an emergency visit like this was not cheap. You can bet that I am holding onto the service bill and that I intend to make the landscaping supplier pay for it.
