Turn down the thermostat. Does the outside unit come on? If so, is the inside blower motor turning? If not, it may be the capacitor for your blower motor. You can remove the access door to the blower ( and filter). You can use tape to hold the microswitch in the on position. Then carefully with the end of a tool like a screwdriver you can try and give your blower fan a little push. If it then comes on, you know it's the capacitor. Close the access door. Go to your thermostat and turn your fan on manual so it is always on. Then set to whatever temperature you like. You will now have cooling til your A/C company can get to you. Btw, I would use Chuck Farrell, not the installer -- he is one of the best -- he is honest and won't rip you off! Good luck!
