While it took a call to the after-hours line and a super high weekend diagnostic trip charge, I did get a serviceman from Webb Heating and Air Conditioning Company, Inc., of Advance out to look at the downstairs HVAC system that is currently failing to provide any heat. (Webb is the company that came through and replaced the faulty coil in the attic-based air handler, that the original installer Barnette Heating & A/C of Mocksville refused to fix.)His finding: the variable air blower motor has ceased functioning and so the heat cannot be delivered to the downstairs areas that it services.
It was 62 cool degrees downstairs when I got up this morning, and this evening it is only 65. It will take several days to get the part ordered, and the hope is (and the expectation, frankly) that it is still under warranty.
In the meantime, I am living in a house with a brand new HVAC system installed less than two years ago which has been plagued by problem after problem after problem. I'll spend the next few days sleeping and showering in a guest bedroom upstairs. I'll try to cook meals in the kitchen that involve the oven and the creation of a lot of heat.
That's apparently what you can count on if you have your HVAC system installed by Barnette Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc., of Mocksville, NC.
