jd asked:


The air conditioning unit in a reo home we are looking at is missing. Possibly the heating unit as well since many are now combined and this home was built in 2005. Will this home pass FHA inspection without the unit/s? And if not, is there any way the buyer can put in the unit and still get FHA financing. The seller is refusing to replace the unit.
I do want this home! The previous owners took care of it but when they left they took or sold parts of the house!
Things missing are the air conditioning unit, all kitchen appliances, pantry door, front door (replaced recently), gates to all the fencing( 5 total), water heater, and the landscaping bricks around the flowers!

I believe they had a huge sale before they left and sold anything that could be moved out!
I will have to look into the 203k loan because I know the home must also have a water heater that the seller is also refusing to replace.

My wife calls me at work and says our a/c isn’t working. When I get home, I check the circuit breaker. It hadn’t tripped. I flip it anyway. I turn the thermostat back on (which I had asked her to turn off) and then it works. So I thought. House began to cool but it kept reading 80°. I had set it to 77°. I faced two fans on the thermostat and it still remained at 80°. I go outside and realize that the unit isn’t even running. I set the thermostat for 80° and it cuts off on its own. As it starts to warm up in the house, the a/c cuts back on as it should. However, the unit outside is still not running. What gives?
My thanks to everyone who responded. I was not home when the repairman did his thing but this is what he wrote on the invoice (may be a little inaccurate as his handwriting is a little difficult to read): “Turned on ac when arrived. Outdoor not running. Only 120 volts to contactor. Found blown 30 amp fuse in disconnect. Replaced and checked amps & freon levels. Ac is ok.”
Cost was $85 total. $35 & $50. Not sure exactly what cost what. Anyway, all is well. Just in time for Hurrican Hanna to knock out our power. Thanks again to everyone.

Got a new ac unit installed about 7 years ago, has worked perfect all this time and then about 2 weeks ago it stopped working. I opened up the removable panel on the unit itself, which is in the basement, and there was a single fuse hanging off a bunch of wires. Upon closer inspection the fuse was blown, it was a 20 amp brown fuse. I went to the store, bought a box of new ones, same thing, 20 amps and brown and replaced it. Within a minute it kicked on again and has worked great. Now, last night it stopped working again, so I opened the panel again to find that this 2 week old fuse I just put in is now blown also. Took it out, replaced it, and ac kicked right on and is running great. Both times I checked the circuit breaker first and it was not popped so that is okay, anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?
Ok so after about 3 hours of the new fuse being put in today and the ac running perfect, I came home to an 82 degree house while it was set to 68…I felt air coming out of the vents but it wasnt cold, went down to check the fuse again but this time it wasnt even blown. I have just air coming out of the vents not cold air. Also, the fuse that I have been talking about is an automotive fuse, there is a bundle of wires inside the panel and hanging off them are 2 wires with female connectors, this is where the brown, flat, 5amp fuse was plugged in.
Anyone have any ideas now that we have some new info?

Replacing a 19-year old central air conditioning unit . The quote from Home Depot was $20K for 3 Ton SEER 16 Trane unit (all work and warranties). This seems outrageously high, but they would not leave paperwork behind to justify this cost.
- Can you help. Rough idea of equipment costs and labor.
——————————————
I see equivalent Goodman units online for less than $2K. I know this is an inferior equipment and it uses Freon, but I don’t have a good idea how to adjust for better equipment. The high end manufacturers do not put their prices on-line.

It is in Las Vegas and a 2000 sq. foot house with high ceilings. But this estimate was for one of two units.

The unit is about 3 years old. I have the thermostat set to 75 but it is staying at 77. I have already cleaned the filter. What could this be?
