My central air is finally working again! Happy Dance!

Due to a delay on one part that had to be ordered, it took nearly a MONTH to get it repaired. It was a big fix, the regulator was out, as well as some other problems and parts. It took the technician nearly 5 hours to fix it, and he is experienced and good. He had to pull out some parts to replace others and then put the other parts back in, if that makes sense. He blew out the water lines, put in new filters, etc. , and when he took out the coolant to replace one part he said too bad, this should have been replaced long ago, so he put in all new coolant. All I can say is what a huge difference it makes! We were fortunate to get a good window unit from a friend--it was even brand new in the box. I was so thankful, it really helped a lot. But when all was done and the central AC was finally up and running, we just couldn't believe how cold it was in here. I had it set on our old settings, but it works so, so much better with the new coolant and all the fixes. I still think it was foolish that the corporation that runs this complex didn't just replace the unit. The fix was way over $3,000. I've lived here 13 years and it was a new complex then, so everything was new. It seems foolish to put that kind of money in an old unit, but hey, it's not my choice. They replaced the compressor, a few years ago with a big fix and it was about the same amount. So they have over $6,000 in fixes for the AC in 3 years. I think that's insane. But I'm so, so happy it's fixed! Yay! Pinterest picture. I love Snoopy's happy dances!
