Sadly, I agree.

Stormin Mormon wrote: I guess you didn't read my earlier post. Freon is a (formerly copyrighted) brand name for a brand of refrigerant. Saying "freon" is like saying "DelMonte canned food". There are several different kinds. Actually, it's more like saying "xerox" when you mean copy machine! (There may be different brands, but the layman generally knows only the most familiar, and uses the name as a generic.) |

Of course, that makes better sense.
Time to take a couple tylenol, with a styrofoam cup, and some kool aid. After that, I'll go check my messages on my IBM PC, and then watch my Zenith. I'll use that in the future.

oups.com... DH is gone, and it's the weekend so there's really no one to call. Something is screwy with the A/C. I set it on 75 four hours ago. It ran and ran and ran but it didn't seem to be getting any cooler. I just looked, and the thermostat is still set on 75, but the inside temperature is 87. And it's still running. Do house A/C's have freon, like cars? Is it *possible* that it's something simple like that? If it was *bad*, would the thing run at all? Any help appreciated. Sherry Yes, house A/Cs use Freon just like car A/Cs - but it's usually not as simple as that, unfortunately. And yes, the fan can fun even if the compressor is not running (go outside and see if the compressor is making noise). If the compressor is running it could be something as simple as a broken pressure hose, or something as big as the whole shebang needs to be replaced. "Stormin Norman" does A/C repair, I think - and one other person here, but I can't remember now who. But this is not something that you can diagnose over the internet. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all my masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ |

Few people are that considerate. You may be able to get a window AC from Walmart for under $100 to get you through the next couple days. Good luck. wish we lived closer. -- Christopher A. Young Well, thanks for the help anyway, everyone. I am so mechanically unsavvy it's not even funny. I don't have the brain for it....I want things to *work*, I don't care how they work. If they don't work, I want someone to show up at my door to whom I write a check that will make them work. It is dang hot. I stood it as long as I could, we do live on a hill with a nice breeze and have ceiling fans but by 3:00 I couldn't stand it anymore. I went to the matinee showing at the movies, went to Wal Mart and got a manicure. Visited people (people with air conditining, that is) . Gah. Got home by 7 and it was starting to cool off. Spent the rest of the evening in the chaise in the back yard reading. It was a pretty good day after all. I think they A/C people will send a tech tomorrow. I hope. People are telling me they are very good to respond when it's so hot outside. Sherry |

My parents don't have AC. So, when it gets killer hot, they go out to
dinner. Sounds like about what you did. Also, the AC in the car helps. (if your car has AC). I've known people to go driving just to get into the AC car. Where are you? I'm near Rochester NY. -- Christopher A. Young You can't shout down a troll. You have to starve them. .. wrote in message oups.com... Well, thanks for the help anyway, everyone.
