I've known this HVAC service person since they were a zygote. Drove an hour to me, popped open the broken AC, took some readings with I swear a tricorder, replaced a capacitor(!) and cool air doth issue forth. Then proceeded to inspect every bit of the house, drew a 3d model of it and sketched 2 different replacement systems.
Good little zygote.
@b4cks4w I've heard that caps are frequent offenders in AC units! Nice!
@Ironworker229 I was surprised because the unit is ancient, has leaked refrigerant before. pleased that he didn't reach for the Freon right away. I've budgeted for the replacement and at least for now there's an energy efficiency tax credit. Will try to get through this hot part and then swap the AC/furnace for a heat pump.
