AC Issues

Jose the AC Guy scratched his head on his third visit. I made it through yesterday with no problem (other than some unusual humidity), then today it got clammy again and the temp started rising despite the unit chugging away all day. The unit is putting out cold air, but it's only noticeably coming out the vents on the furnace side of the house. Unfortunately, the attic ends where the vaulted ceiling divides the house and there's no separate attic opening on the ferret side of the house. I'm a bit scared to start carving on my ceiling at this point. We couldn't feel anything blowing from the guest room vent, but when I closed the door to minimize the area to be cooled, I could feel cool air rushing through under the door. I don't know...maybe since I've never spent a whole summer hanging out in the house, I never noticed the AC getting behind the temp curve in the afternoon. Or my AC is dying. Damn, house, don't make me get a job just to fix you!

I am this far away from taking Lenny up into the attic with a fiber-optic camera stuck on his harness and send him through the duct work. I heard they used ferrets to wire ICBM silos....

Update: Oh, great! Now it's blowing room temp air! I'd put a remote thermometer sensor up on the kitchen vent (closest to the furnace) yesterday to ensure there really was cool air being generated. There was...yesterday! I changed the filter on the first of the month but don't see anything coming out of the drop faucet outside. I might have to make my own venture into the attic-space.

It Only Comes Out at Night - No, not the Edgar Winter Group album, my A/C! After turning it off for a few hours, it's now blowing at 77 degs F which might get the house down to a sleepable temp by the time I pass out from too many rums and lemonade.
