• jjsmom06 Posted : 7/12/2007 6:41:00 PM Oh man.. I feel ya!  Ours was broken too and we spent all last week sweltering. Turns out the compressor on a 2 year old unit went out and we just missed the warranty date.. cost us a PRETTY PENNY!

• cakana Posted : 7/12/2007 7:02:46 PM Ours went out last year when it was 100+ here and on a weekend.  It took 3 days to get it repaired.  Same as Shelly, it was our compressor.  So this year we noticed when it was super hot (95-100), it never shut off and wouldn't get below 82, so I had DH call them to come check it.  They were supposed to do that today and I'm hoping the found something to fix.   Our warranty runs out July 24th [8|] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Nic Posted : 7/12/2007 7:26:04 PM My house is hot too.  The swamp cooler was leaking through the ceiling so I had to disconnect it.  I called for estimates on central air and they are running about $1000 over winter rates.  I gave up and bought a room air conditioner from Home Depot.  It's not great (big & loud) but it has lowered the temperature about 7 degrees.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• fuzzy_dogs_mom Posted : 7/12/2007 7:34:33 PM I have AC but I haven't turned it on in so many years that I wouldn't know if it was working or not - or care. I am sitting under a ceiling fan, though.

• cakana Posted : 7/12/2007 8:24:00 PM I am seriously keeping my fingers crossed for you Cathy, If we had caught and solved the problem a couple months ago.. it would have been over $1000 worth of savings to have that warranty cover it.   Home now and DH said the AC technician checked it and said it was 1 1/2 lbs low on freon and apparently that's a significant amount.  He refilled it and said to call for a recheck in a couple months.  It's already cooler in here and I'm thrilled.  It does mean that the electric bill will be even higher than it would've been thru a heat wave, but such is life, right?   Joyce - how do you do it without using the AC?  You can't be much cooler than I am and there is no way I could sleep without it.  You are one tough lady [] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• rwbeagles Posted : 7/12/2007 8:48:16 PM of course DH is proud that he got it working. He cleaned a bunch of "gunk" off some "coil"? Heck if I know...I am still thinking a visit from the a/c guy might not be a bad idea...but for now it's working. The house is cooling slowly...it's only EIGHTY EIGHT in here now.
