Once upon a time, there was a heat wave that came unto the land... that was this summer. It was an…read moreunbearable time to be without the comforts of air conditioning. It had been about 15 years since I've grown accustomed to the luxury of the advent of this artificial climate controlled environment.
For most of my life, I've not had the benefit of this at home. I would only be blessed with this amenity at work, for most of my adult life. I'm not sure how I was able to survive the sultry(yeah, during those Indian Summer nights, toward the end of summer) and dry summers(That's all the time) of Southern California. Born and raised in Los Angeles, and moving out to the SGV, I've seen my share of Summers here.
But, this year with the weight of the Pandemic 2020, and the Safer at Home orders. I have not been able to escape LA, on vacation as I usually do these past years. I was chained to the abode and the Air Con was going all the time. Although, this A/C unit is pretty new, it was getting a run for the money.
Lo and behold, just 10 scant days ago, the unimaginable happens! My A/C didn't turn on! Luckily, I was a subscriber with Fidelity Home Warranty, they dispatched an work order with A&M. However, I was one of the many! It took 4 days (no fault of A &M) for Shaun to get the time to come by.
Shaun was a trooper! He gave me the straight scoop, no malarkey. On his first visit, he was up on that 3rd story, in that hottest of days of the current heat wave! He gave it his best shot, but had to order some parts. Troubleshooting, he remarked, we won't know if it'll work when the parts come in....
Today, Shaun was able to make it back with the parts needed, he was up there on that 3rd floor roof again, in that hot sun, it was touch and go, but Shaun came through like gangbusters! Even though, the part was replaced, Shaun had to do some heavy duty troubleshooting to find the culprit. Needless to say, I have now regained my humanity!
I am back in the land of the living! A/C has been restored and all is well in my Kingdom again!
All hail Shaun of the Alive!
