Well, HeII I went and did it. Yesterday I turned the A.C. back on in the bedroom for the first time in 7 years.
I tried to turn mine on a few years ago for the first time in about 5 years when I was feeling a bit sick with a temperature. Apparently a colony of some type of flying and stinging bug had made it their home and when the fan kicked on they weren't all too happy about their construction project getting destroyed. I had to retreat from the bedroom and suffer on the couch with just a floor fan. Never turned the AC back on after that. Careful turning an AC on after letting it sit for years. You never know what may be in store for you.
Won't your landlord get the aircon cleaned, I'd have thought it was his responsibility. If your in Valencia, just noticed the Afghan flag!
I'm sure she would if I told her about it. Not having it as an option removes my (or someone else's) option to raise my electricity bill in a moment of weakness.
