What happened to your AC, Fish? Ours caused trouble a few times a year by freezing up- which then means no AC, but then after a good long thaw, it's fine again until it has to run non-stop for a long time. Finally, this year, I was sick of it, so we had a tune-up/checkup done, and it just needed more refrigerant (plus some minor changes in the house like leaving ceiling fans on all the time and uncovering all vents and I put in a programmable thermostat, which I don't know if that has any effect or not but we're not fighting over the settings anymore, especially since BF has a real job now and is paying the electric bill so I am not always trying to conserve- now he is!!!). Hasn't frozen up since. I hope yours is something simple like that.
