A/C Guy finally came back today with the new sensor module, installed it, made sure it was working and also added a manual damper in between master bedroom and the other bedrooms (’cause of the heat load we have in the master bedroom from the East/South facing the Sun.) He tweaked things as well, to allow the right cooling without freezing. So far today, better than ever. He was done around 11am-ish. It’s been really warm today and all areas staying right on target and that feels great, I can actually turn the thermostats to 69 happily (sometimes), only have to bump them down if I’m “excercising” or moving around so much that I’m started to overheat.
So finally it’s working. I’m not so happy about it though, anticipating the sensor mucking it all up by dying on us. I have the same feeling about other things that have gone bad, like the motherboard in my Nutrimill Grain Grinder, it went totally dead all of the sudden. I had to send it in and have that replaced, and I’ve been waiting ever since for it to happen again, but it hasn’t, but I KNOW it CAN happen, since it DID already, when it wasn’t that much used. So this A/C is like that, brand new install and … somewhere along the way this part died and we’ve had nothing but trouble but didn’t do enough about it as soon as we should have (not knowing exactly what we should have expected, would it work to cool the house or not … and it didn’t and it wasn’t clear to us that it wasn’t right, not just something needing tweaked, or added, when in fact it was yes, tweak, PLUS something needed REPLACED.) So how long will it be before I trust this magical fix from today. Don’t know, but hope I can get my superstitious self to stop thinking about it and just accept it as it is day to day, not waiting for the other shoe to drop.
