I finally got to shut ours off today, since that front came through last night. The heat and humidity drives my arthritis batty. I had to go out and pick up all of the land mines from the Backyard yesterday and ended up paying for it. Still hurting.
I did not realize that in over a year, since my son last cleaned up the backyard, that you could actually pick up 26 gallons of Dog crap. I should have packaged it and sent it over to Mike Madigan's office in Chicago, to remind him how his abuse of power is.
Maybe it's time to just post some "How To's"? I know there's a bunch of videos on youtube, but I've noticed that most of them are missing things.
For example when you see a video or post about replacing a capacitor, most all of them never speak of discharging it 1st and when they do speak to it, most don't give proper instruction.
If they are bad, they have usually discharged all of the magic smoke. All that it takes to drain one, is wrap a bit of #10 wire with enough of the end stripped, then connect the other end to ground in the disconnect. Any residual will be gone. Really if you go one connection at a time and follow proper procedure, there is not going to be much of a charge on one that has gone bad. It is only when they are live and you are playing with them right after you shut the power off, you will get a new perm.
$182 to get the Cottonwood blanket cleaned off of my outside unit today. Could not get Superheat, because it was in the 50's when the tech showed at 8 am.
He did laugh when I told him that I can still chill beer in my ducts.
