Thump musta jinxed my a/c, when his went out, last week.....about 10:30, last night, I was watching a Blue Blood re-run, when I heard a loud roar behind the house for about 5 seconds, then, total silence.....in the back of my mind, I already knew what it was because my outside Rheem heat pump unit is over 20 years old.....but, man, has it ever been a good one, and very energy efficient !!!
I walked behind the house, and sure enough the breaker was thrown, and the unit would not power up, after I reset the breaker....house started heating up, and sleep was hard to come by, the rest of the night.
My a/c guy showed up, early this morning, and sure enough the compressor is fubared.....it would be senseless to replace the compressor in a 20+ year old unit, so he's headed this way with a new one.....and, while I got him here, he's gonna replace the inside air handler, too.....it's 39 years old, and got some occasional annoying rattling in it.
I thought the price was pretty good at $4500 lock and key, including tax.....anybody wanna buy a tractor, bushog, or a date with my cook??? ;)
