Default Ruud AC Unit Not Cooling

I don't have experience yet, but I will on Thursday.

We had a guy come in a couple of weeks ago to clean the system. Well, he
couldn't clean our closet AC unit (5000 ton) RUUD because it needs to be
pulled out to be cleaned. He quoted $900+. Forget that.

Found a RUUD dealer. They'll charge $378 to pull and clean the evaporator
coils. That's more like it.

If you've never had the inside coils (evaporator coils) cleaned, do it.

I suspect that's our problem here. I mean it works but it only cools the
house 10 degrees, not 20 like we were used to. The other guy said that it
has tons of dust and hair in it and mold (which I dare not tell the others
in the house).

So perhaps with a good cleaning and getting a really THICK THICK filter
for the intake (like 6-8 inches thick, instead of the little paper one
that you get at the stores), it'll solve this problem.

I'll let you know. Pop me an email in a few days and remind me and I'll
post my findings to the group.
