I had to take out a bank loan a few years ago for a 30# can of freon and a bottle of dye. The unit was froze, so I knew it was low on gas. I put 25 drops of dye in the charging hose then filled the unit. Ah, cool air, we can sleep now. Next day, the unit is froze again. The evap. unit drips outside into a bucket, it coated with red oil. I look at the evap. unit, find about 5 leaks 2 in the coil. I look at the cond. unit, about 5 leaks. Since the house is still my stepdad's I call him. 20 years ago he paid $200 for this system installed. He won't pay anymore than that to replace it. Window units were on sale at Lowe's at the time, I bought 3.

Mother built a cottage here in my backyard. The first receptacle in the kitchen area is a ground fault. It won't reset and 5 receptacles after it won't work.
Stepdad bought a used drop-in electric stove. He wants it fixed. The eyes will get a pan of 1" water deep to 105 degrees in about an hour. The oven won't heat up past 125 degrees.
