She Called Me in a Panic — Here’s How We Fixed It

Last week, a mom called me at 7PM — panicked.

Her house was 95 degrees, the kids were melting, and the AC was blowing warm air.


She said, “I tried changing the thermostat settings and even vacuumed the vents. I don’t know what else to do!”


First thing I asked:


  • “When’s the last time you changed your air filter?”

  • “Have you noticed any ice buildup or weird sounds from the unit?”



Turns out:


  • Her air filter was clogged solid

  • Her coils were dirty

  • And the refrigerant was low



She had done everything she safely could as a homeowner — and that’s huge. (Changing filters, clearing vents = exactly what we recommend!)

But when it comes to low refrigerant and internal repairs? That’s where a pro needs to step in.


We got her system cleaned, recharged, and running better than ever — the same night. Her kids slept comfortably, and she texted me the next morning:


“Thank you SO much. You literally saved us!”


Moral of the story:


  • Regular maintenance matters.

  • DIY is great (up to a point).

  • Having a trusted HVAC tech on speed dial is even better.


If your AC isn’t keeping up (or you just want to avoid a meltdown later), let’s talk.
