Central A/C - Help, I'm Melting!!?

Question

My digital thermometer is not registering my room temperature below 80 degrees and my A/C keeps running non-stop.

I have changed the batteries, checked the filter, and reset the thermostat and nothing. nada. zilch! I have had no choice but to shut the unit because I can't have it running continually nor do I want a zillion dollar electric bill.

I am thinking that the thermostat may not be working right - I can't imagine how my house is hotter than it is outside. Somethings not right and I am tearing my hair out!

Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

sounds like your A/C has lost its refrigerant charge. You will need to get the leak fixed and the system recharged

Answer 2

Ah me too. Plugging it in and off. I was told 3 things. Either the thermostat is broken, a line from the unit to the thermostat is shorted out, or the sensor above the heating plate/burner is broken and not telling the fan when to kick off.
