[QUOTE="John6185, post: 2887465, member: 25679"] I had a known company come out and do the maintenance and I said that it didn't seem to be cooling adequately and after a bit the "technician" said the compressor is going bad. So I told him to replace it with American Standard which they did and a few weeks later it started squealing so I called them back. They said the A coil that was in the attic wasn't matched to the condenser unit and it needed replaced-so I had it replaced. They charged a lot more than if they had done both A coil and condenser unit together and they offered no excuse other than "it should have been done." They also said on a later maintenance visit that the furnace was close to being replaced. I learned my lesson. I had the igniter go out later and I called a guy here in Choctaw and he came out and checked the unit out and said that the furnace didn't need replaced, that company is known for doing replacements that aren't necessary. So he confirmed my suspicion about the company that is quartered in Moore. Also, I have cottonwood trees behind my house and they release seasonal "cotton" that seems to gravitate toward the condenser. To prevent clogging and additional work in cleaning the condenser, I bought some fiberglass window screen and wrapped the condenser (on the outside of the unit) and it catches the cotton, grass from mowing etc and all I have to do is take a garden hose and wash the screen off.
