When we bought our house, I knew I'd be lucky if we never had to replace the AC unit. Today is a great indicator something is up. Here's the scoop...
The AC kicked on at 74 degrees inside today. It's now 83 in here. We have a new thermostat, new filter, I shut off all unnecessary vents, and did my best to find the drafts and seal them. I finally got soffit vents installed today, one per hundred square foot of living space. I walked out to see the unit and found it like this...
The air coming out feels cool at best, but nowhere close to cold. Even the medal vents are not cold to the touch. My thinking is we are out of freon. Right or wrong?
Also, the old farm house at the farm has a "newer" unit that has been sitting for 6 years unused, and only had two years of use prior to that. It's twice the size as my current unit. What are the chances you could pull that bigger unit, recharge the freon and install it at my house? I'm thinking electricity could be the biggest obstacle considering I'm only a 100 amp service.
Any help here is greatly appreciated!
