[ i appreciate he never told us what the problem is ! ] Depends how old the unit is ...If it is over 10 years and has had a fair bit of use sometimes you fix one thing and then the next problem pops up ....I would fix it because I could do it myself .... If it is an electrical problem and not compressor related maybe worth a fix , if he told us what the A/C guy "told" him we may get closer...... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

M.C.A. 600 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I think you mentioned it was only 5 years old maybe it's worth fixing or what's wrong with it? I've had many technicians tell me they can't fix it only to find out it's something minor like a capacitor that only would cost 300 -600 pesos or bearings for the fan.
