At noon Saturday, I wrote on Facebook: “Hmmm, the fan on my central a/c seems to have stopped working. At 77 degrees, it’s cool enough in here without it for right now. I checked the circuit breakers and flipped them. Nothing. In August 2005 I got the new a/c. It has a ten year warranty on the compressor and coils.” Several friends suggested it might be the capacitor, but we checked and the capacitor was fine. I arranged for American Air and Heat (who installed it) to come out at 9:00am on tomorrow morning. In the meantime, I wanted to have everything opened up and ready for the service dude to look at once he got here. I opened up the unit in the hall closet inside the house and the central fan motor thingy on the pc board was not lighting up… I turned the unit and breaker off and unplugged the fuse.
Saturday evening, we had the windows open and listened to a gentle rain fall. A mildly cool breeze blew all night. I set my bedroom fan right in front of the open window so the air would be directed on me. I love to feel the air on me as I lay in bed relaxing into sleep. It was a breezy night and I slept comfy and grateful! Today, Sunday, it even stayed coolish during the heat of the day since the house is under a canopy of oak and pine trees. I have to laugh, I have such a comfy life that this feels like a camping adventure to me, having no a/c. Yes, we’re really roughing it over here. Fingers crossed, we’ll see what I attract! So far, Donna with American Air and Heat, who did the original installation, has been awesome with me by phone from a customer service point of view, letting me know exactly when someone can come out and answering my myriad of questions. I feel I’m in good hands. Fingers crossed, I’m thinking a/c by 10:00am Monday and an invoice that pleases me. Today was, start to finish, a wonderfully satisfying and pleasant day. Good food, good company, good music, good work. I live in Paradise and I love my life.
UPDATE: They had to replace the blower and module, to the tune of $1109. I love it when the Universe makes me stretch my boundaries to allow more good to come in!
