My central AC went out in the summer just a couple of years after I had
it replaced. (It was still much under warranty.) A part had failed.
The technician said they'd gotten a spate of calls about the same
problem in the span of a few days. The warehouse couldn't get the part
for about 4 days. Miserable!

If the company hadn't loaned me a portable AC to cool down the bedroom,
I would have had to check into a motel with my cat Persia. I could
suffer (would rather not) but I knew Persia would get very ill.

My neighbor offered me the use of her guest bedroom, which was very nice
of her. But at the time she had two cats and Persia simply would not
tolerate being around other cats. (I doubt her cats would have been
happy, either; they only tolerated *each other*.) I was so very
thankful the technician brought over a portable AC unit.
