They changed the capacitor. Checked the voltage and found out the contact is weak. Don't have that part so they have a unit for my bedroom. Starting to cool down finally. I was sweating all day. I needed it.
Got home and my AC isn't working

- Start date
Seriously, is nobody going to make a quip about how BWRhasnoAC has no AC?
Come on people, such wonderful low hanging fruit.

I think that was the last time I didn't have AC besides during Irma for a few days which was hardcore in South Florida.
AC comes back on, that will snap right back into place.
Yep, and relatively speaking, it's a very cheap fix if you do it yourself. There are some good videos on YouTube that walk you through it..
I would use the air a lot less if I was single. I will come home and almost go into shock walking into the house because the wife cranked down the AC. (I will then go close the windows, which drives me crazy). My vehicles AC went out a few weeks ago, so I go old school and just lower the windows and run the vents. Working outside, you get used to it a little more.
I always keep a spare capacitor around, cost about $10 at supplyhouse.com, and takes me about 10 minutes to get it up and running again. To have an hvac tech come out, it's $100 for the capacitor and $200 for the labor, plus I have to listen to the family continuously B$%#& about how hot it is until they can get it fixed a day later.
If the AC unit outside is not running but just making a buzzing sound, it is probably the capacitor.

I'm a carpenter and do hot yoga. I still never get used to it. Sweating in bed is hell.
The humidity is what gets to me. A dryer heat doesn't affect as much. The worst I remember was a couple years ago and it was like 50 but 95% humidity. Any activity made me sweat while working and the temperature would then make it feel like i was outside in 30 degree weather.
Ya, problem with dry heat is you don't realize how much water you're losing.
Opposite problem here. My wife keeps it at 75 and still has blankets on. I think she's missing a circulatory system. If left to my own devices, that baby is set at 68-70.
4-60 air conditioning. Unless you drive an older model truck or el Camino, then it’s 2-60.
Yeah, definitely agree on this. My air conditioner went out 5 years ago and they tried to get me to do everything at once. It would have saved me $1000. But 5 years later, my furnace is still running great and last year the same company came out to do their 'free' maintenance visit and said my furnace was running perfectly.
4 windows down going 60mph
Old joke for me that I thought was somewhat commonly known, guess not.
