Ditto....

Called Sun Kool at 12:20 yesterday (7/10) and I made the Will-Be-Out-Between-5-and-9PM List. Temp inside the house was 81°.

I tried resetting HVAC breakers and checked all the other breakers in the panel. Nothing wrong. Guy at Sun Kool told me it might be clogged drain line. Not sure how since we closed on new home in March and I have used the 1 cup vinegar every month since we moved in. (I used the same schedule on our home in Orlando with two HVAC units for 15 years and no issues).

I attached wet vac and sucked out about 1.5 gallons of water. No snot or clogs. System came back online but Sun Kool still came out to check it and said everything looks good--must have been a clogged line.

I have seen neighbors' clogged lines in a wet vac before. Lots of slime and snot--maybe a frog or lizard. There was nothing in our exhaust line yesterday.

My wife mentioned numerous other reports on the neighborhood FaceBook page. SK Tech told me I was his third call in Well Point today. Same problem; but no clogged lines.

Seems so odd to happen to so many on a single day. Maybe a batch of bad floats from Carrier? According to the Sun Kool sticker on our HVAC the unit was installed 1/25/25. Anybody else have a similar install date?
