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.


5-8% is unheard of. I've only seen dryness like that in my (duct tape)
wallet. But then again, that's why it's called the desert.

Here in summer, temp/humidity more synchronized 90/90, 95/95, 100/100. AC
drain actualy trickles vs drips.
