If I had not been sitting on the other side of the wall where the condenser sits, I might not have heard the grinding noise it was making right after the power flicker
I do not like living in a region that gets blasted with rain and thunderstorms almost always throughout the Summer months. It’s strange because every one of us get yellow skies and sun throughout the remainder of the year. We’re even fortunate enough to get mild winters where the lows do not drop below 40 degrees except in the rarest of circumstances. I suppose I should be thankful for this region’s advantages, but I still can’t get past the intimidating amount of rainfall in July, September, and November. Worse yet, I live in the southeast where atlantic hurricanes are a real danger while every one of us were in the same time of the year, while extending through late October and early November. It’s scary when you see a category 5 hurricane on doppler radar with reports of an imminent landfall in your area. But whether it’s a hurricane, tropical storm, or just a light drizzle and thunder in the distance, I always fear losing our electricity. I can’t go too long in this region separate from a/c our house. Whenever it goes multiple nights separate from cool and dry air, the bathroom starts to odor considerably, even after multiple deep cleans with bleach. Even if it’s just a power flicker, I still worry about the cooling system. A month ago a power flicker caused the compressor to misfire in the cooling system condenser outside. If I had not been sitting on the other side of the wall where the condenser sits, I might not have heard the grinding noise it was making right after the power flicker. All I had to do was shutdown the idea honestly and wait a few minutes before turning it back on. It was an easy enough fix, but it could have been disastrous if I hadn’t found it instantly.
