Project 365 Day 144: Freon Aint Free


This past week we experienced another first in our home: the air conditioner stopped working! We were about to call the landlord and demand they get it fixed ASAP when we realized that we are the landlord. Darn.

The fine folks at C&K Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing in Ames sent a technician out this afternoon and he discovered that we had a freon leak due to a bad seal of some kind. We were glad that he was able to fix it and refill the freon today, as we were not looking forward to trying to sleep through another nearly 80 degree night. But that freon, man, it's expensive!

While the temperature on the thermostat in the picture above looks a bit on the warm side, it was already down from the inside-the-house high of 80 degrees earlier today. By bed time the house should be a cozy 67 degrees.
