Yesterday I had a AC man come out and check my AC.. HE said my Drip line was clogged and so he blew it out and made a huge mess in my bathroom because the trash in the line came out my bathroom sink and all over the entire bathroom. He also said I had 3 LBS. too much Freeon So he allowed that much to excape. Today I am burning up It is soo hot in here still!!! I called them and they can not come back out until tomorrow evening. Both outside unit and inside unit are running but the air is not cooling the house. The maker is Trane. The filter is clean the line was blown out... What else could this be?

You should check if the compressor is starting, if not there will be no cool air. Did the Technician tested the a/c after cleaning the drain and removing the excess Freon? Was the a/c cooling?
Ask him to inspect the a/c again and prove that it works.

ha ha - Call a different company after this jack leg replaces your Freon- go to the Furnace and feel the large Freon line, see if its cold, if not he removed to much freon- and did he let it out or did he recover it , its against the law to let it escape in the air. Make sure you Filter is new, and clean the Coils on the outside Condensing unit- The dumb *** blew the gunk in your P-trap up the sink drain- not all that crap was in the condensate line- probably nothing was unless the backup line was dripping.

it could be a lot of things, but If I had to make an intelligent gues, regardless of the fact he said you had TOO MUCH FREON - Its shounds like your sort on Freon. Perhaps he let out too much. As well - if your line was clogged, and your filter dirty, there is a thermo-coupler/thermostat that internally can get burnt out from the overheating. Those are the best two ideas without actually coming over and fixing it for you. Call your local Gas Provider/Electrical provider - they usually have emergency repair that they can then bill you for over a period of months...

Just out of curiosity....was this guy showing a lot of buttcrack?
I think I saw him on Saturday Night Live.
Seriously, there is a hint in your information that may crack the code. Dave Lennox released refrigerant claiming the system was overcharged. He probably came to that conclusion when he saw a high head pressue on his guages. What bone-head didn't stop to consider (or didn't want to) is that a plugged evaporator coil will also convey a high head pressure. I think your evaporator coil is plugged solid. Reinstalling additional refrigerant is a temporary solution, at best. Good luck, and for goodness sakes, change companies. Crack kills!

Here's an idea. You said the technician let the Freon escape. I'm taking this to mean he vented it to the atmosphere. If you witnessed this get with the EPA. There is a reward to you ($10,000) and a penalty to him. Loosing his license is just one. Hang this over their head until it is fixed properly. By the way, did he guess at how much he let out?
Section 608 Universal Certification

This a/c guy sounds like a real doofus, perhaps your coils need to be cleaned. We have had the same problem two times and both times it was the coils being dirty, it cost us around 80 bucks to have them cleaned. Good Luck

A bad AC man. I would make him come back out and tell him that you aren't paying for another service call. Apparently he didn't do his job.
