Its funny how these things fail. Somehow it know its the hottest day to quit just like smoke alarms. Batteries goes out in the middle of the night like 3:30 but never during the day or the weekends when people can simply go up and swap out the batteries with plenty of time to do so. Somehow, I think mfg programmed that in their products to piss us off.

Murphy's Law....lol.
You don't have the severity of heat we have here but given your Mom's situation - this still applies. I put a small window AC unit in one of my windows, so in situations where the central air is on the frtiz....I can still run some AC and buy some time to get repairs done.
I can also run it off a generator during power outages. Even if you just keep one in it's original packaging/box and pull it out for emergency use only - it's a nice Plan B to have.
