HVAC guy came out today. Turns out that when they replaced the
controller unit last winter, they miswired the cooling side.
Warranty service, 2 minutes, no charge.

Great news! Thanks for reporting back.

Several years ago we owned a home that had a completely separate
HVAC for each of the 1st and 2nd floors of our house. Since we live
in the desert we don't use heat often. On our first occasion to use
heat on the 2nd floor, there was no heat. The blower worked, the AC
worked, but no heat! Called the contractor who had built the house.
When is tech came out, he discovered that the gas line had never
been connected to the 2nd floor furnace. Go figure...



Since we live in the desert

Just curious. What type of desert? Vegas is the desert (?). Then
there's a guy I knew that lived in Yuma AZ (desert?). But then again,
I don't live in the desert...but it's been pushing a 100 the past few
days and 100+ for next few days. Temps got nothing to do with desert
though. One of the dryest places on earth, the Atacama Desert, only
has summer temps in the 80's.


I live in East Mesa, AZ, about 36 miles from downtown Phoenix. Our
summer temps range from 105-120°. We have already had two 110° days a
couple of weeks ago. Since then it's been hovering between 98-102°.

It's true that not all desert regions are not. This one is.



Since then it's been hovering between 98-102°.

Exactly the same here for days and days upcoming. But this is early June
on the east coast in NC. Not the frikkin' desert! That's more July & Aug
weather.


And I suspect that your humidity is much higher in NC. Most of the year
ours is in the 5-8% range. It makes a huge difference in how the
temperature is perceived. In late July and August we have a period called
Monsoon where the humidity soars for this region. Sometimes we have rain
with it, but most times we don't. With our high temps, it's miserably
uncomfortable.
