I woke up at around 3 am this morning and it was pretty warm in the room even though the A/C has been running all night. It felt like there wasn't enough air coming through the registers. So the first thing I checked was the filter which was just replaced less than 20 days ago and it looked fine. I went outside and noticed a sizable chunk of ice on the A/C unit, indicating that there was some sort of blockage someplace. After this professional diagnosis I figured I'll get up in the attic and poke around. Spent about 15 min without knowing WTH I was looking for, except for some obvious duct work that had burst open. I didn't find anything was ready to give up and call the A/C guy tomorrow.
I turned the fan on again just to see what would happen and all of a sudden, it appears that the air flow is back! Now, the A/C's seems like it's working great, but I can't sleep and have to get up in about 2 hours to go on a run with DW. Which would be fine, except for I don't have the satisfaction of knowing that I did something to fix the problem.
I'm going to bring this thread up during the next "rent vs. buy" thread.
So any guesses as to why the air flow was blocked? Everything seemed fine last night when we turned on the A/C.
