Last week my AC went out - three days before my warranty was up. Fortunately I had renewed it two weeks prior and added extended coverage for the AC. (My house is 14 years old so I knew that things may start breaking down in the next few years)
Anyway, it was hot so I stayed at my sister's house in Rockwall Friday - Monday when the AC repair man could get there. He said everything was fine, the breaker was tripped. Ugh!! Money spent for nothing! I did not think to check that because the unit was running. Apparently the inside unit was running, but the outside was not.
Anyway, they said that I needed to call in an electrician. OUCH... more money!!! It would feel warm now and then so I would go out and flip the breaker switch and it would cool off again - for a few hours. I had to do that many times over the weekend. My handyman was at my house this Saturday texturing and painting and doing other odds and ends and put in a new breaker switch for me. It still tripped the breaker over and over.
I called the AC people again and they came out and put in a new motor and now the house is cooooooooool. Because of my renewed warranty it did not cost me anything!!!
New installment on the AC Saga...
I thought I was home free - wrong! About 28 hours later I walked into my house and it was not cool. :-( I checked and yes, I had to flip the breaker AGAIN. So, reluctantly I called the home warranty company back and told them of the continuing problem. I am waiting to hear from the AC repair company. In the meantime, I am afraid to keep flipping the breaker because that is an indication that something is wrong. I don't want to make it worse.

The AC man came back today. He can't find anything wrong, but he added something to help the compressor, just in case. Let's cross our fingers that it is fixed and that I don't have a more serious electrical problem!
