Follow-up...

Turns out I had a leak in my condenser and a blockage in the lines to boot (don't recall where exactly). Hmm... blockage discovered after leak-stop added... a little suspicious you think? Of course, nothing conclusive, so take that little bit with a grain of salt.

Anyway, now it's the old two-trip repair... bring it in to diagnose and order parts, then bring it in again to get it fixed.

Monday... S/C install!!!
