Assuming the temp rise is excessive, he did check the temp rise,
right? It's either a, b or both.

Politicians and diapers need changing
often for similar reasons.

At this point, with this description I am sensing two different problems.
One mentioned in the OP post, and one not mentioned.

Do good work.
It's longer in the short run
but shorter in the long run.

Who are you, counselor Troi?
Or are you vulcan? Do you meld with HVAC equipment over the internet to
sense it's problems?

Anyway everyone knows what problems you are going to say need fixed:

1) A used, incorrectly sized capacitor must be installed somewhere,
probably someplace behind the thermostat.
2) A circuit breaker - ANY circuit breaker, needs to be replaced with a
different brand, chooped up and then crammed back in the service panel.

Duh.

Stormin is studying under the Amazing Kreskin. He is so good at telepathy
that he doesn't even let Kreskin know that he is reading his thoughts.

Ever notice how psychics never advertise their conventions?
