Where a Fayetteville cooling fault is actually found
1,531 of Fayetteville's 1,845 occupied units burn utility gas, and on almost all of those the central cooling has no indoor machine of its own. A coil sits on top of the furnace, the furnace's blower moves the air, the furnace's ducts distribute it, and only the condenser in the yard belongs to cooling alone. That is why a no-cooling call here is very often diagnosed at the heating appliance in the middle of summer, and why a fault that shows up in July can be the same fault that will greet you in January. It is worth knowing before somebody is standing in your basement in shorts explaining what a furnace has to do with air conditioning.
What ac repair involves
Narrow it from the driveway and the hallway
Two observations get you most of the way. Outside: does the condenser hum without the fan turning, click and do nothing, or sit silent. Those are three different parts. Inside: is the air at the grilles strong and warm, or weak and cold. Strong and warm points outdoors. Weak and cold points indoors, at the filter, the blower or the ducts, and that is the furnace's half of the system. One thing you cannot do yourself is anything involving refrigerant, and the barrier is at the shop counter as well as at the equipment: federal rules prohibit selling or distributing a non-exempt substitute refrigerant unless the buyer holds Type I, Type II, Type III or Universal certification or employs somebody who does and proves it to the seller. So the canister in the auto store is not a route into your system.
Feel the air before you blame the yard
Weak airflow with a happily running condenser is an indoor fault. On the shared systems typical of this village that means the furnace blower, the filter or the ductwork, and none of it is a refrigerant question.
The same blower serves both seasons
If a summer visit finds a tired blower or a duct problem, you have learned something about next winter as well. It is worth asking for both halves to be commented on while somebody is at the cabinet.
Refrigerant is not sold to homeowners
Federal regulation bars the sale or distribution of a non-exempt substitute refrigerant except to somebody holding Section 608 certification, or to a business employing a holder who proves it to the seller. There is no legitimate over the counter version of this repair.
1,531 gas-heated homes, and one shared blower

40 CFR 82.154(c)(1) prohibits selling, distributing or offering for sale any class I or class II substance and, since January 1, 2018, any non-exempt substitute for use as a refrigerant, unless the buyer holds Type I, Type II, Type III or Universal certification under 40 CFR 82.161, or employs at least one person who does and proves it to the seller, or one of a short list of other exceptions applies. One exception is that the refrigerant is charged into an appliance by a technician holding that certification, or by a supervised apprentice, during maintenance, service or repair.

Condenser running, nothing coming out of the grilles?
That is an indoor fault on a shared system. Send the Fayetteville address and describe the airflow and we will get somebody to the cabinet.

Village questions about cooling that shares a furnace
Why is a contractor looking at my furnace when the air conditioning failed?
Because on most Fayetteville houses they are one system. The indoor coil that makes the cold air sits in the cabinet on top of the furnace, the furnace's blower is what moves air through it, and the furnace's ducts are what deliver it. Only the condenser outside is cooling-specific. So weak airflow, a failed blower motor, a clogged filter or a duct that has come apart all present as air conditioning that is not working, and all of them are found at the heating appliance. With 83.0 percent of this village on utility gas, that is the normal arrangement rather than an unusual one.
Can I add refrigerant myself to get through a hot week?
No, and it fails at two separate points. Federal regulation prohibits anyone who could reasonably be expected to violate the integrity of the refrigerant circuit during maintenance, service, repair or disposal from doing so without a technician certification, and separately prohibits selling or distributing a non-exempt substitute refrigerant to anybody who does not hold one or employ somebody who does. Beyond the rules, there is the engineering: a sealed system does not consume refrigerant, so if it is low it leaked, and adding more without finding the leak spends money to lose it again in a few weeks.
