A couple of weeks ago I was home alone and suddenly the A/C turned on. It was only 11am and we dont usually have it on until the afternoon. I thought perhaps we had left it on over night and it had reached the temperature were it came on automatically. I turned it off so at least I tried. Just checking the batteries in the remote when Warren arrived home.
No, he had not turned it on and he reminded me that we had not had it on the night before. Odd, it wouldn't turn off at all not matter what we did, finally Warren turned it off at the meter box.
Later that afternoon when we did need it on, it worked well for about twenty minutes and then all the lights on it starting flashing and if it were a space ship, you would think that it was about to take off.
After a couple of days of off/on etc, we decided to replace it. We had had people out to repair it before when the heating side of it broke down, they couldnt/ didnt fix it but it still cost us a few hundred dollars as this particular brand was made in Korea, we didnt know that when we bought it.
Checking online for brands prices etc as our living area is open plan, a larger unit was required. Love the open plan but what can be a positive in some areas becomes a negative in others.
Warren had the brilliant idea to ring the electricial company that we have used before. yes, they could order one for us and replace, they could have some one out the next day to give us a quote. You little ripper! Not the time of the year to be without an A/C if one has been used to it. Much quicker service and better price.
The price was good, installation was about half as much again but there was quite a bit of work to be done. Old one had to be de gassed and then they did take it away so we didnt have to worry about that.
The boys arrived to fit it early this morning, luckily for them it was a cooler day. thye did have to go up into the roof cavity. It was all done before lunch and we have been testing it out, it works really well
