We actually had two problems with our central air. One we knew we had: the compressor was giving us warm air, which we fixed the other day; and one we thought we had but wasn't 100% sure: the fan is leaking. We informed our a/c guy about the possible leak. His suggestion was to run the system to see if we had the leak, which made sense to us.
[Back story: we bought the house in may of 2009 and did not run the a/c last summer due to it not working and it not being too crazy of a hot summer like this one. When we brought the home inspector in in April 2009, he said it was too cold to test the a/c.. b.s., I know]
Anyway, our system ran, and because the fan part of the a/c system is up in our attic, we were expecting the water to leak through the ceiling of our second floor. Well it never did. We were thrilled... until two nights ago, Jeff went into the garage to a nice sized puddle of water. Great. Now the challenge is to see where the leak is coming from and see if we can fix it without getting a whole new a/c system, which is what we don't want to do at this point. Oh well. Off with the central air for now, until monday when we try to see where the leak is coming from. At least it is only 81 today, the house won't get beyond 95, which is what happened last week.
