Ah the AC went out in my house!

[Busaman5000]

Ok, update.

The guy just came back by and we think we have found the problem.  The fan motor on the outside unit was cutting off after a few minutes.  Which in turn caused my compressor to over heat and kick off. He replaced the motor at no charge.  So far so good. I have cool air again (though its still hot in here at the moment).  Hopefully it will stay that way this time.  (fingers crossed)

i have never used the home warranty crap for ac unit yet.

Really? Would not be without one myself.

Cost $400.00 for ten (10) years parts and labor. Compressor was lifetime already.

Like I said. They work to death out here in Arizona.

what i meant was that i do have it but i have never used it for air condition. the couple homes i bought in the past were fairly new.

GREAT!! Glad you got it going for now. I went through A/C hell back a few months ago. 12 year old system finally died. I didn't have $10,000 bucks to replace the ENTIRE system. (YEP,....compressor, air handler, all ducting under the house, all boots at the registers, electrical,...etc) Everything had to go,.........because my old system was an 8 SEER unit. Everything these days is high efficieny,.......so an upgrade was needed.

Needless to say,.....10K was not in my budget,.....so by the graces of GOD,.......an A/C buddy helped me by getting everything at a reduced rate,.....and helping me by instructing me to do it all myself. I saved $7000 by doing it myself. Took several weeks,........and I think I lost about 10 years of my life (stress),...........but I'm sitting in a 70 degree house on 100 degree days!!

If he was a drinker,.......I'd owe him about 12 kegs of beer. Cheers!
