our ac is broken...ugh

Well, noticed the air was running but not blowing cold air out, so when H came home he took a look at it. We thought it just needed free-on so we called the maintenance guy. Well, just our luck and it is broken beyond repair, they will be out to replace the whole thing tomorrow. In the meantime, H and I will sweat to death while we sleep.

  • Yeah, I am about ready to hop in the shower right now to cool off and then head to bed. Might have to take the advice about sleeping naked bc it is hot as balls in here

  • A/Cs don't take freon, they take refrigerant. Sorry yours broke! My husband fixes A/Cs (and heaters) for a living, so ours is never broke for long. :) Plus he taught me how to do it, so I can fix it most times too! Nobody gave some good ideas! Good luck til tomorrow! On the plus side, your electric bill will go down with the new unit.
  • Yeah, I guess it is refridgerant (or gas as the maintenance man called it). We live in an older apt, I am so ready to get out of here when our lease is up. Our unit was making these awful noises yesterday when he was trying to fix it and he told us the whole thing has to be replaced. I just hope he knows what he is talking about until the heating & cooling people get out here.

  • Yikes I wouldn't have been able to sleep.  I cannot stand being warm when I sleep.  I hope they are able to fix it soon!
  • Missy- You're not alone! Ours is also broken and I have been shopping around all week to get a consultation and see what's wrong. We have been roasting for the past week and a half. :(

  • It's good to know someone else knows what this is like bc it sucks! Guess it just shows us how much we take AC for granted.

  • sw- you've let it go a week and a half?!? You're crazy! LOL I definitely understand it all, since that's what my man does, but I'd never let it go that long! (And most people don't either) Most places charge a diagnostic fee, and they're a range, but don't go TOO cheap with it or you'll end up with a company who doesn't know what they're doing/cheats you. Go with a well-reputed company (not necessarily HUGE, but good recommendations!). Even ask on your local if you don't know of one! But get it done ASAP! Cuz sometimes it can be fixed right away, easy peezy, and sometimes they have to send out for parts, etc.

     

    Missy - sometimes it's easy to diagnose it, and if it's a larger motor (there are generally 3 major motors in most units) it may not be worth it to fix the motor, as they can be really pricey. Or if there's a leak in the coil or somewhere tough like that. hahaha gas? I've never heard anyone refer to it as that! :) Most A/C guys I know (and I know a lot!) are pretty particular about using the correct terminology! Good luck!!!

  • zora: gosh, you do know a lot. I am amazed. The maintenance man just fixed it about an hour ago. It is slowly but surely starting to cool off in here. I am just praying we get through the next three months without anything else happening to it. We had heating problems in the winter as well. Our lease is up in three months and I will be so glad to get the hell outta here.
