Cool Again

After a steamy weekend — and I don't mean the fun kind — the house is nice & cool again. On Friday evening, we noticed that it was getting a little warm in the house; we usually keep the thermostat at 80°. The thermometer inside read 84°, so something was obviously not quite right.
I checked out back, & the heat pump was running, but no cool air was blowing inside. We opened the windows & enjoyed (as much as possible) the evening breeze, & on Saturday morning, I called to have someone come look at it — on Monday, as it turns out Exclamation Mark

We sweated through the weekend — again, not the fun kind (mostly ), & I took the morning off to wait for the man.
It only took a couple of minutes to diagnose the bad relay that needed to be replaced (and 30 minutes for him to go get one!)
Upon his return, it took only 10 minutes for him to install it, & then about 20 seconds to realize that it wasn't quite the correct one No No.

Three hours & $125.00 later, the cool air was blowing again. The part, btw, was only
$20 Exclamation MarkExclamation Mark
