Corey, that house isn't that old! Its pretty much brand fuggin new man! Surely its covered under warranty?!

Joys of living in campus apts w/ all bills paid, 68-70 degrees ALL DAY LONG, and a fan to keep the cool air circulated! Oh, plus all the college chicks! lmfao

 

Corey its like 62* here this morning and I'm getting tired of all the rain!

 

2 ton unit in your master bedroom......dude....how big is your master bedroom!!??!??!

 

^^^^^^^what he said!!!

 

who did you call, and how much did they charge? I think mine is low on freaon too. if I got it on 70, it can only do 78...

 

Well my master bedroom is decently sized but it also cools the master bath and closet.

David i will get you the number once i get the bill. Just so you know what you may be in store for

 

I had mine looked at today too since I felt it wasn't cooling enough. I keep the stat on 74 all the time and when I get home in the evenings it's creeping up to 82-85 in the house with 105-110 ambient temps. The unit runs from about 10-11am until 9-10pm non-stop. Had a good friend of mine who owns a local service company come by and take a look and he says the coil is clean and it's charged correctly and everythings in good working order despite it's age (unit is probably 20+yrs old) it was just sized too small for the house and is probably a full ton too small. Were looking to add on to the house in the next couple years so something going to have to be done about the unit asap...

He quoted me a humidity control system that's plenty big enough for the house now and our future plans...... To the tune of $8500.... And that's getting the unit for his cost and a pretty large discount on the labor as well..... I've been sick to my stomach all day

 

Yep my parents just installed a new 6 tin dual stage unit a few month ago it ran them 10k+. Depending on the house size i would look into a dual stage unit. It is like 2 compressora in 1. Depending on the load determines which stage(s) run. Pretty cool

 

Yep, that's basically what he quoted for me... Very efficient way to run the system too.

 

Btw my parents dual stage unit is whisper queit. Standing next to it with both stages running you can barely hear it. Also it is fairly tall. Twice as tall as my 5 ton
