Narrative: Had another busy day. Church was disorganized but we got through it. The biggest struggle of the day was the Air Conditioner. Best guess, it is low on Freon and is pulling too much heat out of the house. I took the evaporator coils apart yesterday and they didn’t get abnormally cold with the additional air flowing out the access panel. The air flow didn’t seem to be centered on one area of the coils so I doubt we have an issue with dirty coils. Also the drip pan was spotless, there was no material in it.

I set the fan on circulate hoping the additional air would keep the coils thawed when the compressor was not running. It almost worked, but I can watch the temp of the air drop below 60 degrees where I assume the icing started. It got cloudy in the afternoon so the problem with the evaporator coils got worse. (I assume as the outside temp drops the volume of the refrigerant also decreases.)

I’ve raised the speed of the air handler in hopes of keeping the evaporator from freezing, I probably won’t know until midday tomorrow whether that worked.

White Fragility: So are we in the middle of a reformation or a transformation?

Feelings:

Tomorrow: Monday, Instacart groceries in the morning.
