Roof Safety and Your A/C Unit

You know Murphy’s Law?  If it can go wrong it will go wrong and at the worse possible time.  Air Conditioning units are probably the finest examples of Murphy’s Law.

They tend to brake down when you need them the most.  The hottest days, when you are expecting company, when you have a big important party planned.  I looked a my dash mounted temperature readout and it told me this May 14th at just after 3pm it was 111° Fahrenheit outside.  Yes, I think that reading is under the car near the pavement.  But a good day for Murphy to raise his ugly head.

Today your air conditioner just might stop working.  Some brave souls may think that they need to go up on their roof and check things out.  That is not the smart thing to do.  Being on your roof on a hot sunny day can be the first step to the emergency room.

Actually the first wrong step can be your choice of ladders to get on the roof.  How good is your ladder?  How safe is the footing area where you will place your ladder.  Do you have a safety harness to wear while on the roof?

How are you with checking to see if the 220 volt power is making it to the A/C Unit.  Do you have the right meter? Or, do you have the right training in the first place.

I know money is tight.  Does your well meaning neighbor sue you when he falls off your roof while helping out?  Even if you both make it down safely how about the roof tiles you damaged while making your way to the Air Conditioner.  In a damaged or dislodged state they can let in rain that will lead to mold and even structural beams rotting.
