Here's a Tech to Tech ?

We've all come across Carrier lockout boards. LP, HP open locks out. But it also has the current loop to lockout if the compressor should be running but it senses no current draw from the...

Reversing Valve Coil?

A 20 - 40 dollar part, takes longer to get to it than to change it.

Can't cost too much.

I'd say it's a DIY thing.

Dye

No, you can't DIY unless you are EPA certified to work with refrigerants.

But, I will say that if you find a company or a Tech who uses dye you maybe in good hands. Using dye means they have a "I...

Great post Robyn

Wordy is very good here. The more info you provide helps our wheels turn in the right direction.

Ive heard of $49.95 but never $80 tune up

But, and I hate to say it, this is a scam for must companies to get thier foot in your door and "find" something wrong. They lose money paying a "tech" to show up but make a bucket load on un needed...

Fans are a godd idea

it will push hot air from the top of the room to the bottom to mix with cold air from vents, giving a cooler more even temp.

But unless you have a fully stocked residential a/c van your not going to fix this tonight.

Super Boost

Is ok, it just gives an extra kick in the butt to get the compressor started. Not uncommon with a new "tight" compressor.

Well said furd

It is much easier and cost less to recover from set back in heat than it is in A/C.

Set the a/c and leave it.

Well

Problem #1 indicates to me that you need another company. They should have changed the valve rather than tighten them.

The second visit tells me they may be trying to take you for a ride.

Cut the PVC drain line

Attach the vacuum hose and suck the clog out.

Since you'v eblow into the pipe a long time it's probably prety well packed in there. Your going the wrong way.

Use the wet dry in vac mode.
