After waiting all day for the repairman to show, we find out it's something he can't fix. You see, our electrician (we've already had some faulty wiring in the living room) apparently didn't read the numbers printed on the side of the AC unit. It was to use a minimum of a 34.5 amp breaker (best if it used a 60), but instead was wired to a 30 amp breaker. That means, when it gets hot, it trips. Nothing you can do about it.
I started calling at 7:30 and told them someone better come out immediately. They sent the guy on call, and he came out and fixed it. I think I'm going to make Gehan Homes pay for an independent inspection before our warranty is up. I just know something else is wrong, and I don't want to wait around for it to break to have them fix it.
But, I've chilled out and can sleep in comfort tonight.

I remember this happening to y'all in your old house.
ReplyDeletePoor Erika! She's pregnant! But you're tall and heat does rise to the top so I guess you have every right to complain. :)
