Hi All, Need some advice on what to do next. I have a house that is cooled by 3 systems (downstair Main, Downstair Bedroom, and Upstairs Bedrooms). We have had issues with the downstairs main system not being able to get down past 76 so I called an AC company, They tried to top up with 410 and their gauges went crazy so they said it needed a new TXV. We had the TXV replaced and now the system will not cool beyond 78. They told me that all the readings are good (see below / attached) and they have no idea whats wrong with the system. Any suggestions? My AC bill has also almost doubled in the past 3 months, It hot in Texas but this beats past years when temps were also as high. To make things worse my upstairs system is also behaving strange (it is not cooling to were we want and last night my downstairs bedroom system stopped working which appears to be a capacitor issue). Any advice would be great.

Hello, I have a Rheem 2ton Central AC unit that is only 2 yrs. old. I live in Central Florida and we have been breaking heat records already and it isn't even summer yet. My problem is the unit justs doesn't want to stop running. The air coming out of the vents is not very cold. We set it at 78 in the morning and after about noon it just keeps running and doesn't cycle on and off like it should. The parts are still under warranty, but the labor will cost me, and I will not call the original installer because he was a jerk to say the least. I will probably have to call someone else because in my opinion there must be something either leaking Freon or a bad part. Any ideas will help, I have already gone out and cleaned the outside unit with the hose, so it is clean. I just don't think that Freon should be gone already unless there is a bad part. Thanks for any advice, Fritoguy15
