60 Years Are Too Many: Home HVAC

     13 Sept 2026

        At some point the "It's always me!" mantra becomes real.

       While I have no AC in 233 at work, my AC at home died on labor day.

       Just...turned itself off.

       Of course it did.

       The lovely company we use, Cooper, sent a tech on Thursday, between 11 and noon. So I had to take a sick day. Which, we've established previously, are few and precious. But somebody has to be here to let him in.

        Yes, the HVAC computer board has a fried element.

        He was able to reboot the system---I like to imagine he used jumper cables.

        But it's fried and we need a new one.

        We also have to buy a power surger to attach to it.

        Because it is highly likely all the rolling power outages are the cause of the board fritzing.

        It's not even a long story, not even worth telling.

        It'll cost about $1500 to get the whole thing fixed.

        So I got that going for me.
