Does that mean that you're praying for the continued health of the Goodman, or holding a vigil for its passing?
Only 101 here at the moment, but we still have an hour to go to get to the hottest part of the day. Looks like around 104 in the Waco to Ft. Worth corridor, 102 in Dallas and Austin. The 10-day forecast ain't lookin' so great, either. Definitely on pace to have the hottest June
and July on record. We already had the second hottest May. This is tough stuff. I'm waiting for my lawn to spontaneously combust.
CenterPoint, once again, is broadcasting notifications all over the place for everyone to conserve electricity use. Is this just a result of the February Freeze? So that they can say, "See, we
knew outages could be coming. We warned
all y'all. It's
your fault for not listening and continuing to burn electricity for stupid things like your refrigerators and your air conditioners. Your Texan ancestors back in 1880 got by without all that stuff! You're just coddled over-consumers..."
That's not my unit so I don't know for sure which it would be, but I do have a Goodman 5T condensing unit. It was supposed to be a Trane when I signed up with a guy my brother recommended. I wasn't home when he installed it and I wasn't exactly pleased, but he said there wasn't a Trane available from his supplier and figured I didn't want to go without AC any longer than necessary. He cut the price for the Goodman. I had to replace the compressor after a couple of years. It failed about two months after we had a lightning strike. We were out of town and got home and all sorts of weird problems occurred with TV's, ceiling fans, DVD player, microwave and a couple of light fixtures, so maybe something was affected on the AC unit that took a while to go bad.
