Ok....very new to this. I have a Trane XE 1000 and just went to turn the air conditioning on and I figured everything was fine, it sounded as if it started up ok. Went to work and when I came home the house was very hot and the vent was blowing out warm air. Checked the fuses in basement and everything seemed fine, so I called my dad and he came down and said the outside unit was not on. Unfortunately, I am recently single mom and my dad did not know what to do. Any suggestions about what could be wrong? There are fuses on the outside unit on the house, but I have no clue if they need changed or anything. Has worked fine every year that I have lived here which is 11 years and I have never changed fuses or anything.

Please help female in distress about air conditioning.

If you no nothing about electricity you can get hurt bad from just trying to replace a fuse. If the system is not running it may be line voltage(240v) or low voltage(24V). Its hard to say. If you or your dad knows how to use a volt meter we may be able to walk you thru it.

My dad used a volt meter yesterday, but he said everything seemed fine...Of course not sure what he meant by that. He opened a box on the house and said something about fuses but otherwise was not much help. I am just afraid that I am going to have to call repairman, which i cant really afford right now.
