Charlie:
Patrick, in Katy, has sent us one, Tom, about his air conditioner. He says his Trane XR13 is now just humming a happy tune, but the fan is no longer spinning. In other words, it hums but it has no fan, kind of like when I hum.
Tom:
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Charlie:
Nice. So…He’s looking for advice on troubleshooting.
Tom:
Absolute Comfort Air. Call them. It could be a lot of things. It could be the fan motor’s out. That could make it hum. A hum is just … it’s got electricity running through it, but nothing’s happening. My first thing would be the fan motor’s out, but it could be capacitors. It could be a lot of different things. It’s time for an air conditioning checkup.
Charlie:
This is not open the hood and figure it out yourself stuff.
Tom:
No air conditioning system is today. Right up to the control boards, they just have a lot of different things. You know, some of the new air conditioners, today … Charlie, you’re going to love this. They’re actually going to troubleshoot them with iPhones. You just put it up to it and, “Gzzch,” and it’s going to tell them-
Charlie:
That is very cool.
Tom:
-exactly what is wrong. We’re getting those systems at HCC now, so we can train our new young men and women to use their iPhones. Now, the flip phone that I have won’t work.
