Chuck Farrell came out this morning. Turns out it was a 5 amp fuse blown in the air handler. Fuses and capacitors can blow with our lightning storms and elec. surges. He replaced the fuse, gave me a spare, and checked the wiring inside and out. Told him my GFCI in the garage keeps tripping, then will reset after 2 days or so. He said to check the silicone caulking around the outside outlets that are on the same circuit. I'm going to recaulk them all. These wicked rains cause ground faults.

This man is worth his weight in gold. I called five other companies and they all wanted $74 - $120 just to come out. Chuck showed up first and I was charged $65.
