I went through that 2 years ago. It was 80 degrees when it went out. Had to wait a week to get it installed. The morning they came it was 27 degrees.
That happened to us last year, Ed. We slept in our air conditioned camper to escape the heat... turned a lousy situation into something of a lousy vacation
Luckily the temps here have dropped to mid 70's for a few days
That is a possibility, but seeing we were just in there for 10 days in Wyoming, it's going to have to get pretty warm in the house for me to go back to it right now.
Argggh! That sucks. Been there, done that. I feel for you.
What exactly is going on with it? For example if the outside unit fan comes on but the compressor doesn’t fire up right after it could be the contactor or start capacitor. Both common points of failure and easy diy fixes.
Man, that sucks, hope they can get it fixed quickerer. Last year both our 16 year old heat pumps went out 2 months apart. Cheaper to replace pumps and air handlers than refill with older refrigerant. Similar happened at our business, except some meth head in the neighborhood cut the refrigerant line. Hoping the huffer burnt the crap out of his nose!
Just "borrow" some equipment from work and convert it to r1234yf. If it dies then no harm since you are replacing it anyway. If you were closer I might know of someone with gauges and a bottle of r410. On a side note, did you know you could buy r410 from eBay a few years ago. And some yellow jacket gauges as well.
Damn! Yeah, it’s best to upgrade. If you get an efficient enough unit it’ll pay for itself with electric savings. Try to switch to something with R34 or R454b and 20+ seer efficiency.
Send Cuban Cigars. Thanks
Heck back in the early days of eBay you could still get r12 and 22. It was stupid expensive but you could buy it on there.
Home now, I can source them here, don’t need to be travelling to get those.
