I sold my house a week ago and am renting back for two weeks. The A/C quit on Saturday and its been upwards of 90 degrees inside the house. My "landlord", the buyer of the house, called an A/C repair guy on Saturday, he futzed around for 1/2 hour and changed the capacitor and it still didn't work. I asked if he had power to the compressor, checked the voltage and bingo, a bad breaker, old style breaker and my electrician is sourcing one out.

A/C guy presented me with a $329 bill which I reluctantly paid, figuring I'd back charge the new owner of the house. Talked to the new owner later and it turns out he gave the A/C guy a visa card number for $120 to "Show up" on a Saturday service call.

I'm not an A/C guy, nor an electrician, but the first thing I would have done is see if the unit actually had power, he did that last on my suggestion.

So around $450 total for a service call that he didn't fix anything. I've called the A/C company twice this morning and left voice mails.

I'm thinking I should put a stop payment in with my credit union.

I just wanted the A/C to work since we're packing to move in a week and it was so freaking hot and humid, I couldn't stand to be in the house.

We've been living in the RV with good A/C for two nights.

Thoughts?
