OMG My Central Air Died

[Dubbin1]

This is gonna be a LOOOOOONG day without A/C

No one and I mean no one in the AC business is working today

[So.Cal.]

No one? I would have guessed it would just have been like weekend call out rates to get someone out.

Dude, I absolutely hear you. We're in south Texas. Ours went out last week, $165 later it was fixed, next day went out, day later it was fixed, couple days later went out; all this time the family is fighting something like the flu. Found an electrician yesterday who found a couple of shorts, paid him $100 and all is good.

Well I hope mine is that cheap but I have a feeling that it isn't going to be. What I think happened is the fan took a crap and in return burned up the compressor. If I give the fan a spin it will start running but the compressor wont turn on.

Mine went out last summer. I had someone come out on a Saturday, cost me $250 bucks to swap out a $30 dollar capacitor that had blown. Which reminds me I need to get the part # of that and get a spare for 'just in case'... easy to swap out and I could have done it myself if I had the part handy.

Ours died on Thursday and we had a guy come out on Friday to replace the fan motor in it......

[Dubbin1]

Well the guy should be here anytime now. Getting a little worried about what hes going to say.
