Looks like my A/C Heating unit may be toast. (1700 sq ft house, natural gas, Austin TX)
I was already warned my a/c was on it's last leg because we had to put in
4.5lbs of Freon this summer.I went to turn on my heater this morning and it wouldn't come on. It just made a buzzing noise. I felt the blower motor and it was hot so I turned it off, spun it and it came on but with a new grinding noise and water (!) came out of the vent! So I immediately shut it off.
I'm pretty much resigned to buying a new unit and I have the money saved for it.
Where would you start? I've read horror stories about incompetent installers. I want a licensed professional and I don't mind paying for it.
I've seen some ads for Goodman's starting at $3750 installed. Is that too cheap?
TIA
