Yikes - No Air Conditioning

On Saturday, June 30th, we were enjoying a nice glass of ice tea but became suspicious when we smelled something burning and heard some strange noises.  We both started looking around for the source of all of this.  Quickly discovered that the air conditioner had somehow malfunction and the condensation was shorting out this part.  There were flames and smoke.  We were lucky to be home when this occurred.  Could have been disastrous.  
Of course, this also happened when we had an unusual heat wave - over 100 degrees for 5 days.  It took a week to get the new unit and have it installed.  The repairman were super busy with other jobs because of the heat wave but they did a great job.  We were fortunate to be able to use our travel trailer that has air conditioning.  Also, grateful that the cost was covered by our homeowners insurance.  The insurance company was probably happy that the whole house didn't burn down.  They settled the claim quickly and professionally.
