I do not like having to climb into the attic, regardless of the reason.
- I have arachnophobia from residing with wolf spiders as well as saucer spiders in my family’s seasoned house.
A big spider landed in my bed a single night as I was trying to fall asleep as well as I believe it scarred as well as traumatized myself and others for life. A similar situation happened with a wolf spider a few years later. My parents told myself and others to get the holiday lights out of the attic. When I was climbing the fold-out stairs as well as reaching the opening of the attic, I collided with a huge spider web that had a frog-sized wolf spider on it. The spider fell on my shirt as well as started climbing to my face before I screamed as well as swatted it away with the back of my hand. I started sobbing as well as nearly fell off the collapsable stairs. It made myself and others never want to climb into an attic ever again. If I had known the air conditioner was in the attic, I would have considered looking for a odd apartment to rent. I moved in a few weeks ago, but I l gained soon enough that not only was my air conditioner in the attic, however so was the filter tray itself. Often you’ll have an access point for the air conditioner filter right at the air return on the ceiling if your air handler is in the attic. Garage mounted air handlers usually have the filter tray inside the air handler enclosure. This attic air handler here is almost identical to a garage unit. That means I have to climb into my attic whenever I need to change my Heating and A/C filter. I usually change my filters once a week, so I had various options. I could try to get over my fears as well as simply change the filters whenever needed, or I could hire an Heating and A/C business as well as sign a maintenance contract. This way a tech will swap out my filters for myself and others whenever they visit for service calls. It was an easy choice.
