A couple of years ago, my niece posted on her social media all about how she did her own a/c repair. I was shocked, to say the least, as it would never occur to me to fix my own air conditioner. When I asked her about it, she said that’s what happens when you don’t have a bunch of extra money lying around – you try to fix your own a/c! Anyway, she was really able to do it, without even getting help from her husband, who is basically useless. She did online research by putting in the symptoms her a/c was experiencing, and an a/c doctor website popped up. That led her to an online video that explained what the problem was and how to fix it. There was even a link to order the necessary parts from that famous online retailer. So, she ordered the a/c part, paid for one-day shipping, and got to work doing the a/c repair the next day. She said it was very simple. She just watched the video all the way through one time, and then she turned it back on and did the a/c repair step by step, pausing the video as she went along. At first, I was just flabbergasted, but lately I’m beginning to think that the next time my a/c stops working, I might just decide to have a DIY a/c repair myself. I will put the “symptoms” into the a/c doctor website, and depending on what it says, I will decide whether it is something I think I can do or not. If all that it entails is unscrewing one part and screwing another, I should be fine.
