Yes, I'm still out here. So, title says it all. Seems these are small units sized just for small inlaw apartments or garages (my use) and other than an electrician to move the unused 120/240 for the dryer and an HVAC tech to do the final hookup...seem pretty painless. Very small and overall have good reviews on Amazon (not just one liners either...seem legit). Note...not Panasonic...which is one of the better brands I know.....Pioneer., 500sf garage that is unusable in summer heat for most projects...and would be nice to be able to heat if needed (other than a tank top propane) in colder weather. Thanks folks! (I'll be back more often when the monsoons start...if they start...ever...again...)

[left]Hi everyone. I’m a relatively new home owner and new to the forum. I’m having some serious cooling issues and am not having much luck with AC techs. i purchased the house in October and experienced no cooling problems until recently. Now I also happened to install skylights in my living room in May but they are high end energy efficient velux with solar powered blinds. I was concerned it would heat the house but assumed the effect would be minimal. Fast forward to july and I the house won’t cool below 80 degrees until maybe 4-5am. Then it climbs back up regardless of the temp it’s set at. I have kept the skylight blinds closed all day and night and it doesn’t make a difference. The blinds are thick heavy duty fabric with aluminum and they block out all light. when I investigated my handler I noticed massive amounts of sweat and condensation. I initially was worried I had a clogged drain line so I went to look for the exterior clean out and it didn’t exist. The tech that came also was never able to find it. He did however determine that I was low on refrigerant and filled it back up. A week or two passed and it was still an issue so he came back out and determined there was a leak of refrigerant and repaired that. Now two weeks later and It feels even worse at night. He came back out and said there is nothing wrong with the unit and it is blowing cold air. i can’t imagine that this is only because of the skylights but I am not sure what else to blame it on. I had skylights in my last house that were ancient and I never experienced anything like this. The tech even said it should be cooling regardless of the sky lights. The condenser is fine and the unit is relatively new- only a couple of years. The tech did say that I had ‘old brown insulation’ but this didn’t seem to be an issue in the spring. Does anyone have any any thoughts or advice? I really appreciate the help. [/left]
