Last night we had a storm, lightening caused the lights to go out for a couple of seconds, the breaker switch to the ac unit was thrown. When I flip it back on, the outside unit works, but the inside is still dead.

Could it be a bad breaker, or should I be looking at the ac unit itself?

Thanks

So when you turn the t stat on your outdoor unit works but the indoor does not?
Sounds to me like the capacitor for the motor got fried.
