Well, I ended up flipping the breaker. Pretty comfortable in here this morning. I just had the thermostat for the heater replaced a couple of months ago. Now I guess I'm gonna have to get the AC checked out.
We have water seeping up near a main line so I'm afraid that might be where our next few paychecks go. Would love to donate to your new center instead. /s
Sounds like a bad thermoswitch to me.
But I don't know AC well enough to troubleshoot it like that.
