Who did you hire to fix it? I like they way they work.
So I got frustrated and upened up an access hole in the ductwork to inspect the evaporator coil. I was told not to use the downstairs unit (until they cleaned it for $305.00) because the coil was so clogged and dirty it was bound to freeze up. I found that it was perfectly clean. No sign of dirt or debris or dust or cloggs - just perfectly clean. In the other unit it was the same. No evidence of leaking, but I would not know what to look for. But if they lied to milk me out of an extra 300 bucks, I am not wanting to trust them regarding the need to replace the other coil for a grand. I have decided to go with Tex and see what happens. They did add 2 cans of freon to the "leaky" unit and it works fine now. If it dies this summer, I will do some homework before I replace it.
