    It sounds to me like your contactor might be getting stuck or might be stuck permanently. This would keep your outdoor fan and compressor running all the time. This would also make your suction line start to freeze. Not a costly repair but a needed one. You are wasting tons of money on your electric if it is running all the time.
    Call a local hvac company to come repair the part. They should have one on their truck.
