Hard to tell with so little information. Is the compressor and the fan running on the outside unit?
Not anymore ... :huh:I have Central AC in my home. ...
You cannot be serious. 10 years for a split central A/C system?? I know systems that are going 30+ years on trouble free.10 years is at the end of the life range for central AC unit.
I can understand your situation however as I quoted above I say get a contractor which it will have proper equiment to slove the issue some case it will be a simple repair or worst case senicero is replace the outdoor unit either by whole thing or just replace the compressour depending on what the legit HVAC do with it.Salvaging an AC unit is not an option unless you know someone that will recover the refrigerant, dehydrate and recharge again for free, if no leaks are present. Thier is a reason we have to get a lisence for this stuff. Not just anyone can do it. These are enclosed hermetic units and have to stay free of moisture or it will not run right. Easier said then done, hence the costs. It's more cost effective if you test the unit for easy part fixes before diving into a large ac bill. Believe me when I say, just because you get a new unit doesn't mean it will run perfect.

I apologize. You did state that, after I re-read! Correct. Whatever the option, a tech will diagnose and you can go from thier.frenchelectrican said:I can understand your situation however as I quoted above I say get a contractor which it will have proper equiment to slove the issue some case it will be a simple repair or worst case senicero is replace the outdoor unit either by whole thing or just replace the compressour depending on what the legit HVAC do with it.
