Good! I was hoping you'd get someone to make sure exactly what it was before you changed the board. At least we got you through the down spell without sweating too much.

1 hr air was here today with the part

they did not need to spend hours vacuuming the refrigerant to swap the part

funny thing
my pre paid 195 bucks was not rebated at all

Call them up and ask them about rebating the charge for refrigerent recovery included in the quote.

Often there is a flat rate charged for recovery. if he didn't recover any refrigerent they should wave the charge.

Don't know what the hourly rate is but you didn't get ripped off. Just to have a guy show up and change a part will cost close to two bills around here. Is that including the original diagnostic call?

Yea, gas (auto fuel) is killing us these days. $200 is not bad. I'm assuming he added a tee to the high side access valve and put the new switch on that? Notice anything new hanging around outside the unit? Little green barrel shaped object?

I'm getting ready. they're calling for 93 Sunday and Monday... First time this year. shocked
