Appreciation post: the guy who fixed our office AC last week saved my whole department

Our unit on the third floor of the Madison Building has been acting up for 6 months. Last Tuesday it finally gave out completely, 95 degrees outside and we're all sweating. This guy from Apex Commercial Services showed up at 8am Wednesday, had it running by noon. He even showed me the clogged coil and how to watch for frost buildup. I'm just glad someone finally took the time to explain it. Has anyone else had a good experience with a specific commercial HVAC company downtown?

Had a similar thing happen with our building's AC last summer? The guy from Midwest Cooling actually walked me through the whole fix too, showed me the dirty filter and everything. Made a huge difference just knowing what to look for lol.

dirty filter and everything" - yeah that's usually the culprit lol. Pro tip from someone who learned the hard way: set a phone reminder every 30 days to check your filter. I know it sounds extra but seriously it takes 2 minutes and saves you from waking up in a sweat puddle. Also don't forget about the outside unit if you have one. Give it a hose down a couple times during summer especially if you got trees nearby. Leaves and grass clippings clog those fins up fast. Another thing nobody tells you - make sure nothing is stacked against the air handler in the basement or closet. People pile boxes right up against the intake and wonder why their system is gasping for air. Small stuff but it adds up to way fewer breakdowns.
