A couple of weeks ago our A.C. wouldn't come on. We had a new furnace installed in January and at that time they put in a new thermostat.
During the visit 2 weeks ago, the heating and air company said that there was a short in a wire to the thermostat which they fixed and everything ran fine for 2 weeks.
Last night I noticed it was a little warm and bumped down the A.C.. The unit was running but now the air wasn't cold and never cooled off. They sent someone out to check it and now he said the circuit board is fried. Apparently two wires rubbed together and fried the board.
I asked if it had anything to do with the wire he installed and he said no, that was a low voltage wire and these are high voltage. I'm not informed enough with electrical related issues. Is this something that they may have caused? The timing seems awfully coincidental if not.
Thanks in advance.
