A/C has been out since thursday. And more record heat on the way today. And my A/C guy is out of town.

My humble diagnosis is compressor. I better fertilize the money tree quick!

But we have plenty of fans... not so bad after awhile...

[C'mon, winter!]

I grew up in central FL without AC in our home.......you'll manage.

^ but that was before Global Warming...

Terrazzo floors & jalacy windows --- that was the norm here when I was a youngster.

andy, yeah, I did too. Got spoiled.

We're accommodating, adjusting. Taking more cool showers, more dips in the pool. Electric bill oughtta come done pretty good, too.

#4........yep.

Standard issue for most plan houses built 1960s Florida.

Keep the palmeto bugs outside...........

Do you know how much a set of evaporator coils cost?

+ labor & R-22?

C'mon winter. Can't come soon enough...

Gonna buy another fan...

I'm guessing $1000+. We just had to replace one, luckily the coil itself was under warranty. The freon and labor was $400.

RE #8

So is it the evaporator or the compressor/condenser? The evaporator is the part inside your house, the compressor & condenser is the part outside.

If it's the compressor/condenser, be glad it went out now. On January 1st, it becomes illegal to manufacture any R-22 equipment in this country. You'd have to have an A/C company search around for old stock hiding in a warehouse somewhere or be stuck having to replace the entire system with an R-410 based system.
