Its Africa Hot, and I'm gonna kill someone...

Just as an update. The temp upstairs where all the bedrooms are is warming up about a degree every 20 minutes. Called American Home Maintenance, our contract folks, and they said it is probably the air filters that are clogged and have thus iced up the unit. Iced up an air conditioning unit when it is 106*?? Are you kidding me?? Well, low and behold when I go out to check said unit, the fans are sitting still (as opposed to the downstairs unit whirlling away like a jet engine) and there is water around said unit. Yup - looks like its iced up.

Now, if only I had not had CLEAN AIR FILTERS on DH"s TO DO list for the last two months...

Guess whose head might just roll about all of this.....

Sam, our AC did this once, too. It was weird. I accidentally left a pot on the stove ALL NIGHT LONG and by morning, I had shorted out our dishwasher (don't ask me how - stove was gas, dishwasher, electric) and shut down our AC. The home maintenence people didn't know what I did on the stove & fixed the AC right up, but I saw it icing up! Weird how excess heat can cause it to freeze up.
