[QUOTE="wgamble, post: 518215, member: 7808"] I first say that I did not read every post prior to mine so if I am repeating someone else then my bad. I just went through this with a rental property: If your evaporator coil is leaking: you need to change the air filter AND go to the outside unit and take the outside metal cage off and wash the crap out of it (make sure the unit is turned completely off) Also if your evaporator coil is frozen over, turn your fan only on for about 3 hours, this will help defrost it. If your A/C is having a hard time keeping up and it is not freezing over then I guarantee you it is the CAPACITOR. My tenant swore up and down that the unit was out of Freon. The unit ran, coil was not frozen or anything. When I looked at the filter that his wife put in the bottom of the trash can because she knew she lied to me about changing it monthly, it was horrible. 2 things I learned from the ac man: 1) do not turn your thermostat down lower than 70 degrees ( your unit never has a chance to turn off) 2) if you have any animals in the house (especially a cat) then change your filters every 15 days. Last but not least, go to your drain line and pour Clorox in it to kill any algae in it. [/QUOTE]
