Today my AC stopped working correctly. The compressor was working, but the fans, while clearly getting electricity, wouldn't kick on. My HVAC man (who has serviced these units for 30 years) tested the electric coming into the fans. This is a 120 v circuit and with the fans off it was drawing about 108 v and then once we kicked the fans on, it dropped to 105 v. Thus there wasn't enough electric to get the fans on.
FYI - After the fact, The HVAC man took one fan home to test it, it worked fine.
We then tested all the other outlets in the house and sure enough, they are all drawing the same voltage. We also tested the convenience outlet at the main panel, same results.
Does anyone have an idea what is causing this? We cant get the AC operational until this is fixed and I'm concerned that it might be a much lager issue than just one circuit.
Thanks,
