Hi -
My wife and I are temporarily in an apartment situation while our insurance company decides what to do with our Hurricane Katrina-damaged
house.
This is an old house and the blower unit for the A/C (which I guess is usually aligned with the furnace in most homes) is outside with the A/C. In the
past week we've had the A/C repair guys out here five times. All are related to the blower quitting - the A/C unit itself is still going but the actual blowing of air is nonexistent. Everytime I or the landlord call the A/C guys, all they do is replace the blower unit, which then works for approximately 10-20 hours and then quits. Not only that but the air that is being blown in is redolent of a stiff breeze on a summer's day on Lake Michigan, not the cold quasi-Arctic blast I am used to. I have pleaded with these guys time and again to check the freon or the line pressure or some other thermodynamic jargon, but something just happens while I am at work and it's "fixed" when I return.
I have also noticed an unusual burning smell when the blower decides to commit suicide.
Any hints or things I should get these guys to check?
Thanks,
JMK
