I woke up this morning to my bedroom being unusually warm.
I was not sure if I had turned the AC on the night before, but I knew that something wasn’t right.
My second thought was if I had developed a fever overnight. Maybe I was just warm and there was nothing wrong with the AC. I walked over to the window unit AC and tried to turn it on. There was nothing happening. I unplugged it and plugged it back in. When I did I noticed that the green light came on, but there was no noise or air coming from the window unit AC. I didn’t panic immediately until I realized that it was the beginning of a holiday weekend and that there was a heatwave coming through. I immediately called my landlord and told her what was going on. After a long time of back and forth, my landlord told me that she would send someone out that day. I could tell that she was not happy about this because she kept saying how the rates for an HVAC technician would be much higher because it was the weekend. She knew that I would be without AC and she still tried to save a few dollars by sending her brother out first instead of a real HVAC technician. I was so frustrated with her at this point that I told her not to worry about it and I would go stay with my friends and she could prorate my rent.
