Hang in there Drez. We take utilities for granted, I know. When you have no lights, no web, etc. it's like living in a cave. I can't imagine being someone who works to restore utilities over a wide area of storm damage, flooding, ice, snow, etc. It must be slow and deliberate work and meanwhile everyone is standing around tapping their foot like COME ON!!!!! When I worked storms most people were great and thankful you were there helping them get their power back on. That said there were a few that were argumentative and the linemen would just drive away to the next call. Don't piss off the person you need... Lol. Of course all of this was over 10 years ago now and the world is a much different place now. I really enjoyed most storm work. There was a nice feeling of comradery that did not always exist.

Just wanted to provide an update. Have had multiple new systems quoted from $7k to just replace the A/C all the way up to $18k for full HVAC system upgrade. Ended up finding a company willing to try to repair the surge damage...happy to report that the A/C is now working and it only cost $235. Fingers crossed that the fix buys us some time to do our research on a new system. It's 12 years old, builder grade so it may be approaching end of life anyway.
