Never grew up with AC.. So have no clue on trouble shooting.. Tried some googling.. Can't figure it out... Fan and compressor are not coming out so I'm replacing fuses and going from there! If its not the furnace it's the AC. The unit is only 3 years old too.. Any help or opinions would be great! With a 2 month old though I need this fixes ASAP!
Thanks, craig
compressor not coming on could be the pressure switch but more likely you had a leak somewhere
Ya changed the fuses out.. Wasnt that.. I know down in the basement I get a lot of condensation coming out when it runs... More than I figured to be normal
Cofi I know when my furnace was messed up this winter it was the pressure switch...
Turn your control to fan and on, if the fan runs, your problem is most likely as stated above. Your freon has leaked out to a point that it is tripping the low pressure sensor. Heavy condensation is a sign of low pressure or very high humidity in your house, possibly caused by the drain being clogged or restricted form the collection pan to the drain line.
There are a few members here that do HVAC for a living, but I can't recall who they are, check the member owned business thread they may be listed there.
A leak is just one possibility. Pull the cover off the condenser and check your contractor.
Push the center with an insulated tool and see if it turns on. Let it run for a minute and see if the big copper line cools down
Ok I am going to bed! Just got off the phone with the guy that did my furnace the first time and he was going through trouble shooting stuff... I don't even have power to the furnace... The fan won't even kick on when I put it on fan... No noise.. Nothing... Checked all my on off switches... Made sure it was on cool.. Checked the fuses/ breakers... I swear I'm done going out of town! Last time it was in December and it was just the pressure switch... Now I leave for 2 days out of town and I get in the house and its 80 I ask my wife how long it's been like this and she says since you left.. Hmmm.. I quit for now I need some sleep but open for more ideas..

Check condensor fins (outside) if plugged, usually from cottonwood and dirt, it will cause a freeze up of the compressor and the evaporator coil above furnace.
Edit: no power, never mind
Follow the power back from the furnace to the ssu. Check the fuse under the cover (looks like a transformer) and make sure the switch didn't burn out. Also check the breaker.
