My wife decided to have an a/c guy come out last night. She got the recommendation from someone she works with. I spent nearly 4 hours with him while he cleaned and serviced my unit. (Not nearly as fun as it sounds). In the end, he filled it with refrigerant even though I told him there was a leak at the coils in the handler. Then he tried to start it up and it started short cycling. He told me to go out and buy a new capacitor. I successfully replaced the one on the other unit last year. I'm crossing my fingers that this will work. Wish me luck. Otherwise, I threw away about $315 dollars. Waiting for an estimate to replace the coils. That's IF today's operation is a success. I guess it's better than replacing the whole darned thing. Sheesh.
