TITC - RELATIONSHIPS - MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY AC

Fort Worth, TX

My AC and I are not on good terms right now. Not all relationships are good ones! LOL!

What was supposed to cost $65 because of insurance cost me $315 due to the fact the coils were dirty....the AC guy told me that I should clean them regularly which means taking the stupid thing apart! You gotta be kidding! He spent 10 minutes cleaniing the coils and then replaced a part that the insurance did pay for but $250 for cleaning the coils????? Give me a break! So, yesterday, was not a good day until he left I decided it wasn't worth getting upset anymore over. I'll be complaining to the company, of course.

Great action shot! V I think I'd complain to the BBB...sounds excessive for cleaning...

Although your image is great-I do not like your story Cindi!!! Our's has been out for 3 days now and the repair man is set to come this afternoon. I was excited because we were told there was only a minimal service fee! I hope that once he comes today we are not given the same story you were!!!

Ottimo work...Brava

If you were a beer drinker I'd recommend going out for a 6 pack.
Much cheaper and probably keep you just as cool for the short term.
: )
Barbara Heide29-May-2009 06:50
I fully understand you...!!!
Kerry Tingley29-May-2009 04:25
Well thought out Cindi! We've all been there with fine print/

I can't imaging summer without AC in Texas. Terrible.
Take it easy, you're a wonderful woman.

LOL this is too funny (but serious) I like the pp treatment and this could turn out to be a movie!
Greg Christie29-May-2009 01:58

Glenn D.29-May-2009 00:36
Can we buy tickets to take a whack at it too? What a great 'living out feelings' shot Cindi! BZ-V!
Guest 29-May-2009 00:26

mathilda williams28-May-2009 22:48
Absolutely not all relationships are good ones :)
Hope you managed to knock some sense into it!
Guest 28-May-2009 22:08
Gosh. It has a real 'Shining' feel to it. (Heeeere's Cindi.....) Great shot!
Phillip Normanton28-May-2009 21:53
I'm thinking that giving it a good clobbering with an iron bar probably isn't covered by insurance either - LOL. Great job!!
CreativeWiseGal28-May-2009 20:33
What a story. Love the dramatic photo. Great photo journalism :-D
Robbie D7028-May-2009 20:26

'Just do it'!
Wonderfully angry --- Great shot. I feel the fury.
Ron Gile28-May-2009 18:38
Here in Juneau Alaska we will hit a high temp of 61 today( scorcher). We might see 75 degrees this weekend though. Should be the hottest weather of the year. I couldn't live in the hot climates like you guys down there. By the way our air conditioning is free here. Cheers, Ron
Nancy Good28-May-2009 18:05
LOL ... brilliantly dark treatment to match your peeved mood!!
Sabine Stetson28-May-2009 18:03

LOL, a little maintenance goes a long way.
Laryl28-May-2009 16:39
oh my! my a/c is on the roof.. anyone tells me I need to clean anything and they are going to get slapped LOL
J. Scott Coile28-May-2009 16:35
Wait... wait... wait... PAY :-(
Ed Preston28-May-2009 14:28
Looks more like your cleaning it's clock than it's coil! Great idea Cindi, and post the address of the company, we'll bombard them with letters!
Ann...28-May-2009 13:47
Oh Cindi.... these things are truly frustrating when they don't work, when they do we hardly notice them!!!
Carol Rollins28-May-2009 13:40
LOL! You left it in tact didn't you Cindi? The insurance company will not cover this!
Guest 28-May-2009 13:37
Yeah, cleaning the coils aren't covered under the warrantry. I paid over $300 to do mine. Remind me to show you how to do cleaning on your own..I can even do it with one arm! Just remember how happy you are going to be when it starts getting into 100 degrees and your house is nice and cool!
Mike Stobbs28-May-2009 13:34
LOL....you may need to replace the coils if you keep that up.....fun shot Cindi.
BleuEvanescence28-May-2009 13:24
As crazy as always...You are sooo too funny!
Yes..it is not worth loosing energy over this...energy.
Good luck with the company and..."cool" image ;)
Walter Otto Koenig28-May-2009 13:23
Cool shot of you in action. You show that AC who is boss.

Does look a little hostile here. Did it ever come around to your way of thinking?
Guest 28-May-2009 11:54

Guest 28-May-2009 11:47

Wow, is it that bad??? Great shot.
