[QUOTE="MBowman325, post: 1586719, member: 6825"] So, looks like I've got something going on with my home AC. I have output from the registers but it's not cooling. A quick check of the outside condenser shows that it's not running. The motor's not seized, while I was there I did hear a short electrical noise. The lines are not frozen and there is some pressure in the line. (I have gauges for my auto AC that I've used several times, but figured I'd let someone more knowledgeable than I do that) The unit in the attic is sealed up tight - the screws which I assume are for the coil access cover have sealant over them. Once again, I figured I'd hold off on taking screws out until I knew what I was doing or had someone out there that did. I have OGE coming out tomorrow with their Energy Audit deal (scheduled back in May), gonna give them a call and see if I need to put it off until the AC's running. Otherwise, the unit is less than 6 years old - I assume I just need refrigerant, though if that were the case, I'd also assume that I'd see freezing of the lines (though it has been damn hot). Gonna try to hunt down some used AC window units to use for a day or three then pass them along to someone else. [/QUOTE]
