A/C's demons now exorcised

A repair guy came by to take care of my air conditioner, which has been producing an unpleasant, moldy odor for a while. Sure enough, the guy called me over to the A/C and shined his flashlight inside the guts to show me that the innards were all covered in mold. He gave the unit a thorough cleaning and was done in about an hour.

The guy was supposed to arrive at 2 p.m., but he didn't get here until 2:40. This was an awkward time for a visit, so I went in to work early this morning to put a few hours in before returning to my place to greet my guest. Now that the guy is gone and my A/C is drying itself, I'll be heading back to the office to finish my work day, almost $100 poorer. The dude said, in parting, that I need to have the unit cleaned every two years. It took way less than a year for the A/C to get that filthy, so I'm going to look into buying an air purifier to work on whatever dust, mold, and other microorganisms might be floating around in my domicile.

But at least I'm going to have decent A/C for this coming Saturday!

Glad to hear you got your unit cleaned. You definitely want to keep that hygienic.

I didn't want you all to come away from our gathering with spore-filled lungs.
