Freon Leak

     Yesterday, two air-conditioning technicians came to inspect our outside AC unit which is a 2008 model.  It has not been cooling up to standard because we have a Freon leak in the system, and it has been slowly seeping out for a long time.  I'm afraid our old AC unit needs to be replaceed.  I was told air-conditioners generally lose their efficiency after 12 years.

     I would like to have a new, energy efficient air-conditioner installed; but, need to wait until I have enough money or find a way to get the job done.

     Therefore, we had three pounds of Freon added, plus, the capacitor replaced on our old AC unit.  There goes the money I've been saving to buy a new Dell laptop.

     The AC is cooling the house and it seems to go on less often now.  We have been keeping the thermostat at 78 degrees Fahrenheit for the most part because the temperature outside is rising as summer approaches.

     Seems, we will have to use our old AC unit until it breaks down.  Hopefully, it lasts through this summer because the temperature gets up to three digit numbers here in South East Texas with humidity making it feel hotter.

     Anyway, I'm cool now!
