When I moved into my dwide a month ago my landlord told me it had
central ac, i guess I should have asked if it was working ac. She had
an ac man living in the neighborhood fix it or should I say rig it. He
told me to turn it on cool at the t box and then go outside to the
condenser box and push the fuse in to turn it on. Im already a little
weird messing with electrical things so I figured out which breaker it
was in the circuit breaker box and just started using that breaker
instead. One day when I tried to turn it on the breaker arced and
threw the main power breaker. Still havent seen anybody else to come
fix it properly instead of it being rigged like that. My ex is a jack
of all trades so he came out to look at it, he told me that the unit
was old. Even though the air is central it is pumped through the gas
furnace. He asked me where the return was and we couldnt find one, he
opened up the furnace panel and there was no filter in there and he
said we werent getting good air flow because there was no obvious place
for the return air to come in. Also the coils on the bottom of the
furnace were iced over and the freon tank in the condenser was iced as
well. He said it was low on freon but it just got charged a month ago,
so we figured that there had to be a leak. Also the box that has the
fuse in it that comes from the condenser to the house was no longer
attached to the house but just hanging there near the grass. He said
that was a problem and that having no filter in the furnace was a
hazard because of the dust buildup around all the wires. How dangerous
is this working the way it is.

Oh Man ! You sound like the definition of "trailer trash".

I guess you can take the girl out of the trailer, but you can't take the
trailer out of the girl.
