Rofl, might as well be. Was just hope after I replace it It doesn't swell again just like dell.

Everyone should get awnings instead of bruteforcing the heat away. The insulation in your walls works both ways: it doesn't let heat out in the winter and inside in the summer. However, the sun's radiation passes through windows without much holding it back (without awnings or external curtains) and directly heats your home from the inside. So your house is basically a greenhouse when there's nothing covering your windows.

Happy cake day.

My HOA would not approve of awnings.

We do have the latest version of low-E Windows. They're shockingly effective.

I really want to get motorized blinds, and motorized forced air vents, as it sits now, we more or less just leave all the windows covered. Given it's not as effective from the inside, But even reducing the direct IR mission makes a big difference.

Have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in?

Looking at the power draw from 8am to 1pm, it did that itself every 5 minutes.

replaced the cap, it's chill now.

At 98.6 it would be the same temperature in my anus as it is in my air.

Yep, if your condenser unit outside just won't turn on it's always a good idea to check this capacitor. I think it was just last year that I replaced the one in my unit installed in 2015. I went through a few capacitors with the ancient system before that!

mine went out in July in Phoenix, AZ. The 3rd closest Ace had 1 in stock for my unit.

I've seen so many HVAC repair trucks on the roads this week.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

As a refrigeration/HVAC guy, the past couple months have been hell. Most of our crew has been working over 60 hours a week for two months straight and we still aren't even close to keeping up. We're having to heavily triage calls. Hell, I just finally got dispatched to a prison the other day where aparently a whole cell block had been mostly without AC for an entire week. Normally a call like that would get someone dispatched same day but we just don't have the people. I work with guys that have been doing this for decades and even they say that the current volume of tickets is unprecedented.
