Um, A/C out, all my stuff knocked off the wall...huh?

[IHaveAMustang]

Was at the wonderful rangers game last night, we come home click the A/C down to 76 and we go to bed.

Get up the next morning, STILL 79 in the house and its pretty humid/warm. Go upstairs to my office to look out the window to see if the unit is on outside, all my stuff on the wall is on the ground/couch... broken frames, diploma hanging by one nail, diarama of a mustang in a garage is on the floor...what happened? Didn't happen after we got home...what would knock our A/C out but all electrical is fine and destroy my office wall?

Someone hit your house with a car? Wind blew some tree branches big enough to shake wall? A/C breaker flipped?

[Ruffdaddy]

Window open?

Texas Rat Snake, ninjas or a lightning strike.

All windows closed, didnt find any cars on second story, no trees near window...wouldn't lightning fry everything?

Not if your electrical is properly grounded. Could have popped a capacitor on it. The concussive blast from a close strike can knock things off of walls and make you wet yourself.

caps on what, the outside unit or do I need to check the units board in the attic when I go home on lunch? Appreciative of the info...we've had several lightning strikes inthe forest next to our house, I honestly thought the rapture was happening the last time it struck, FREAKING loud and bright...no wettage though

[4eyedwillie]

Lightning does funny things. I'd bet you had a lightning strike close to the house. Without looking at it I'm guessing but I'd bet your capacitor popped from the power surge.

[4eyedwillie]

The outside unit. Careful poking around in there it's 240 volts! Unless the case got distorted you need a multimeter that will check micro fared's to check a capacitor
