My AC went out today. I just had the darned thing fixed in June. I called but no one's answering. Hope they get back to me today or by morn. It's 85 in here right now, and the AC is set for 76..

WOW  I'm really sorry Maw.  I've got a spare room that 's cool but its a long drive.

 

Come here, maw....a lot closer.

 

 

America, we are better than these last eight years. We are a better country than this.

Here's a thought:

Is there a filter in an opening in your ceiling? You know what I mean? Often, the filter will be in the uptake register in your hallway. If that gets a little clogged, it can cause your AC to shut down.

All you have to do is replace the filter (take your old one to Home Depot and they'll give you a new one). And then you have to push a restart button on the outside AC unit.

It's worth a try.

True. Acs have an internal therm that shuts down the compressor to keep it from overheating.

Thanks all. My son in law just replaced the filter a little over a week ago. I really keep on top of that.

I hope I need a new AC since I had the previous owner buy a warranty covering this house for a year. The AC went out in June and they came and did something to it, but it's out again...

My daughter lives less than 3 mi. if it gets unbearable. It is now 86.....I have all the ceiling fans on though. I tested the circuit breaker outdoors and it is fine...This house is only 8 yrs old. The AC should last longer than that one would think.

Hey, if you do go for a new AC system, I hope you can buy it and then bill the seller. If you do that, you should get a lot of discounts and tax credits.

You don't want him to benefit from it.

There are a lot of deals, incentives and tax breaks out there for replacing AC... At least, I say that judging by the amount of junk mail I get about ACHV systems.

It was 48 degrees here last night.  Today it was a wonderful 78 degrees....with a nice breeze.
