My HVAC technician called me to inform me of the shallow temperatures.
He wanted me to be on the lookout, mainly because he had a central heating and cooling unit with one of the AC on the exterior.
He worried that if discontinued, I would end up with bursting pipes that would be too expensive to fix when the weather restored to its normal state. Unfortunately, he was a bit too late with the information as I rushed to the back to check the status of the pipes. It seems as though the snow had formed inside the pipes and forced them to burst open. The outdoor AC unit seemed intact because of the rail cover, but we couldn’t tell it for sure. When he called again to ask about the situation, I explained my findings, and he said he would be there early the following day or as soon as possible. The weather subsided, and he came by noon the next day to assess the damage. There were many plumbing messes that he was able to fix since he worked as a handyman and HVAC expert all in one. He knew which pipes to buy as a replacement and even carried his HVAC toolbox just in case he needed to get to repairing any of the AC components. Once the plumbing was one, he turned to the AC to check what needed to be fixed. It turns out that there were a few loose wires that had affected the heating and cooling units functionality. He tightened them and replaced a fuse that had blown due to the power surge from last night. I was glad to have everything back to normal despite the financial dent it put in my pocket.
