Summer was a glorious time for us as a family! My brother and sister would send their kids to us for the whole season.
We lived in a large house out in the country and didn’t mind having them, our kids loved having their cousins around, and there was always so much joy everywhere, however about 2 years ago, my husband decided to build a treehouse for all the children.
When it was complete, they spent hours playing. Because it was so hot, we all got a mini-split AC for space. I called up some AC vendors in the neighborhood and got an excellent offer. The ductless AC had many smart features that the kids could operate with ease. All the kids loved taking turns controlling the a/c unit with apps on their phones. But last Summer, we had a problem with the HVAC unit, and suddenly, it stopped working. My oldest son had come to inform me in the living room. I went to the treehouse and tried to turn it on, however it wasn’t responsive. The only option was to phone an AC repair guy to come to take a look. When the HVAC mechanic came, he observed the main issue was an operation error. The AC wasn’t powering on because the kids were using incorrect settings. Instead of setting it on ‘cool,’ the heating and cooling unit were on ‘hot.’ It seemed like an easy issue, however it was why the AC wasn’t powering on, and he checked the thermostat and reset the AC settings. After a few hours of ductless AC repairs, it started working well again. He recommended that we only have a few people control the cooling system to avoid similar problems in the future. All the kids were happy since they didn’t want to leave the treehouse.
