The AC

So we finally had a guy come out to look at the AC today.

Which it got delayed a day as he should have come yesterday--but you know it's summer and everyone seems to be having problems with their ACs as people are busy busy busy.

But in any case.
He finally showed up to see why our AC wasn't blowing as strongly as it should be.

And he's pretty sure that our coils in the AC unit need to be replacing as when he checked the utilities closet area...there wasn't cold air blowing where there should have been cold air. So he thinks new coils and possibly that we're low on Freeon or something. 

But also, after looking at the unit outside, he gave us some rather....irritating news?

As like two years ago we'd had the AC go out on us.
And had the motor replaced in the unit so that we wouldn't die in the heat.

Only apparently.
The people who replaced the motor gave us a crappy one?
One that wasn't a good fit for our AC unit at least. And wasn't as good of quality (i.e. it would break down a lot faster than it should) 

So the guy was like "We need to get you a proper motor that's actually right for the unit."
As he believes all three thigns, the freeon, new coils, and a better motor will help our AC unit run more efficiently and will help prevent there being such a noticeable temperate difference between the basement and the upstairs because there's a good ten degree or so difference between the floors.

Unfortunately.....we can't get the AC unit fixed until Monday. You know...gotta get all the parts ordered in and such.

But at least the AC is still at a point where we can still use it to keep the house semi cool---it's just not cooling down as efficiently as it should be.

Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
