Good Morning FMily,

I need to vent. I don't know how much of this is genuine frustration or how much of it is anxiety so maybe you guys can help me with a reality check.

When I moved into my house five years ago, I had it remodeled. One of the most important things to me was having central air because I am really intolerant of heat and cold (probably because of FM). There was no exsisting duct work, so it was a big job ($11k) and it took nearly a month to complete. Aside from some minor hiccups after I moved in, the a/c worked fairly well for the first three years. Then 2009 rolls around and I go to turn on the a/c - no cool air. So I called in the company the originally installed the system and they tell me that I was out of coolant. Really? After only three years? I ask them to check for a leak, and they said they can't find a leak. So I pay the bill, nearly $700. One year later, 2010, and again - no cool air. Again, I need coolant. But this time I can't afford to pay another $700 so I call my uncle who puts another charge on the coolant. 2011 comes and for the third year in a row - no cool air. Now I am a single mom so I really don't have the money to pay a repairman - my uncles charges up my coolant. TWO WEEKS go by and now there is no cool air again.

At this point, it is obvious to me that there is something is wrong with the unit that was installed. Why should it need to be repaired four times in five years? I'm angry that I'm not being heard by the company that installed the unit not to mention that I'm miserable in the heat. It's 86 degrees in my house and I have my elderly mother caring for my two year old daughter in my home during the day. Can my frustration and discomfort really be causing me this much anxiety? I feel like I am ill equipped to handle stress and I can't calm myself down.

I have called the original company that installed the system and they are supposed to be calling me back today. I will be very surprised if I get any satisfaction from them but something must be done - there is no way I can spend all summer in the heat and humdity without air conditioning. I'm frightened by my moodiness and know that I can't sleep well, which will only make things worse.

Thanks for letting me vent.
