My turn for the A/C to break!

GUESS YOU MISSED THE PC/SENSITIVITY INSERVICE THERE IVAN.

I'M CHILLIN! Guess where you could hang your car keys? The NE got hammered by heat pretty good this year. For FL I haven't seen 100 degrees in THE 15 years I've been here, 98 maybe. After 95 rain isn't far off. Humidity, yeah we have that.

PC has never been my strong suit! or even allowed in my vocabulary! In fact, I like guns, God, and good clean living: I'm not allowed in the PC clubhouse!

I've also recently been a victim of a broken AC, and am about the 4th of my friends to have issues so far this summer. I came home Thursday night from a hot day at work only to find it just as hot inside as outside. Fast forward to Monday morning and the AC guy finally has the thermostat to replace the one that seems completely inoperative. I'm not sure how anyone survived in deep South Florida before the invention AC.

I say all that to say I feel your discomfort and totally understand your situation. You are blessed that you've got knowledge on how to fix it yourself. Glad you were able to get your issue resolved quickly!

Great thread. I didn't know that the head on 400 was that different from 22. learned a lot. Explains why the units don't seem to last as long as they used to.When I was working in HVAC back in 75-76 we used to use 22 to blow out drain lines in a pinch I remember those green 30# canisters very well.

Oh yeah! I use to do that too! I know a guy in the Air Force Reserve in the 70"s, When a bomb bunker got too hot they would hose the bombs down with R-12 by the semi tanker load(it was the cheapest!) to cool them down! I think that would still be better than a couple hundred 500 pound bombs cooking off!

My teachers taught me to kill wasps with R22 also! Do that now and it is a $25,000 fine! A can of Hornet and wasp spray works better anyway! I started carrying "Canned Air" (for computer keyboards) about 10 years ago to blow out clogged condensation lines. It comes in handy for a number of other things (Including reloading bench clean-up).

OI started carrying "Canned Air" (for computer keyboards) about 10 years ago to blow out clogged condensation lines. It comes in handy for a number of other things (Including reloading bench clean-up).

Those cans of canned air are actually Difluoroethane, a refrigerant (R 153 I think). Also an ODP of zero.
BTW:
If you have overheated electronics or a motor, turn that canned air can upside down so it sprays out (VERY COLD) liquid.
