Why did he leave? DId you write hime a check?

i guess he thought it was working- he checked the temp from the vent - said it was 59 degrees and left-

it was covered under home warranty - I turned the unit off for 8 hours thinking it may have been frozen (still) - turned it back on a few moments ago- it is 81 degrees on that side of house-will see what happens- I will call the warranty company this morning if doesn't  start dropping. 

came to the conclusion new units needed... ouch

We just put 2 new units on our house. Be prepared for the “new” prices and possible delays in finding one.

Good luck

So decided to go with AC Kings - 2 brothers own the company (younger gents) - they installed it on Friday and it has been fantastic.

I highly recommend them - they offer a very competitive price, cleaned up as they were not here.  The price they quoted was the price we paid. - I am no AC expert, but the install looks very well done.   

thanks for everyone's help - this was an unplanned event - but glad we got them replaced! 

For the one unit that broke - the coil had a leak, home warranty is a joke- glad we decided to replace- below is the email we got - I cashed out. The only reason I kept the stupid home warranty was the age of the AC systems.  Needless to say not renewing

And lie and try to up sale you..... I had one try to strong arm me and say he wasn't going to do the warranty work on my unit unless I paid him cash for a cleaning of the coils when he came back to put the compressor in.
