Man that sucks. Our central air has been gone for over ten years. We make do with a 10K BTU window unit. It keeps the majority of the house cool on all but the hottest days. I'm just praying it lasts out this season, as the control panel has malfunctioned and I cannot adjust the temperature on it. I'm kinda glad it's stuck on 70 degrees. LOL If it makes it through the season, I'll catch a new one on sale at the end of the year and donate this one to the local Christian thrift store. I wish you the best in getting yours fixed.
