After reading your messages, and your replies to the
tradesmen who have commented. It's obvious to me that you're
a hard core do it yourselfer. And that if a tradesman writes
"Well, your service guy needs to.... A, B, C..... that you
will take the covers off, and do your own version of what
the service guys do. Which may help, or it might not.

I've been servicing refrigeration and AC systems long enough
to know that there are a lot of things that are not obvious
to the untrained eye. I'm in the rapid learning part of my
career, it seems that every time I service a system, I learn
somthing new. I've only been in the trade for 15 years. So,
I encourage you to ask your friends and neighbors, and see
who they reccomend.

It sounds like you are going to keep coasting down the road
of "well, it's working....". Which might be successful for
you, or it may lead to an early failure. I guess we'll never
know.

Which is exactly what I've heard and why I've avoided having
anyone
"service" it. I've gone under the assumption that since once
fired up
it cooled the house off quickly and could easily get it
colder than I
needed, things were working as they should.
