Air Conditioning!

Well, after a week of having sketchy A/C, we think it may now be fixed. I hope I'm not jinxing it with this entry, but we'll see. Last Thursday evening at 6 p.m. it started working but nothing was cooling down. By about 11 p.m. it was cooling again. The next morning I called a company who said that we were low on freon and had a leak. They put more in and went away. Friday afternoon at about 2 p.m. it started getting hot and took hours before it began cooling again. Saturday the company came back out and told me that it was again low on freon and we had a huge leak. "We can fix it for $5,000." Okay right! So we spent the weekend watching the thermostat go up and down and finally spent Saturday night at my parent's house with A/C. Monday a guy came who couldn't figure out what was going on but told us we should probably just get a new unit. Tuesday morning Bryan called our builder who called the company who put in our A/C to come out. They told us it was too charged with freon and took some out and it began working again. Wednesday it quit again and the company came back out to tell us that they had no idea what was going on so we didn't have A/C. Thursday they came out, took the entire thing apart, couldn't find anything, but put it back together with some more space in the filter for air to flow and it's working. Keep your fingers crossed for us!

It goes out each July so we are used to it but we hope it will make it through next year!
