When the spring temperatures finally get past the threat of frost at night, I get busy playing in the dirt – as my wife likes to call it – and getting my garden ready. It also means that lawn care companies are gearing up for their weekly grass mowing and that air conditioning companies get their first seasonal calls for repairs and maintenance on home air conditioning systems.
Some parts of the country can get by most, if not all, of the year without air conditioning. My sister in law lives in San Diego and she claims that the ocean breeze and a ceiling fan is all she needs to be comfortable in her house. But my nephew who lives in Southern Florida says that he needs to run his air conditioner 10 months out of the year. For air conditioning West Palm Beach repair technicians, business is pretty much year round, with a short break in January and February.
While I was working in the front yard trimming the hedges and pulling dandelion weeds, I noticed two different air conditioning repair company trucks pull into driveways across the street. All 8 of those houses were built by the same builder at the same time, so those neighbors can pretty much predict what repairs they are going to be facing. If one of those eight houses has problems with their air conditioner, it is a good bet that all eight of those houses will be having the same problem within a few months to year.
