Thank you for the detailed explanation! That confirms some of the vague inklings I had about the unit. The problem started long before I had left, and I looked all around the unit and found no leaks that I could detect. I believe I simply explained the problem to the A/C people over the phone, and they automatically suggested a replacement, which to me seemed like a backhanded form of robbery.

I will forward your responses to my folks and see that they get a proper repairman to come and look at the unit. Thanks!

Also, the main house already has ducting, and as far as I know, just needs an A/C unit installed. We revamped the heating system a while back, but held off on putting in the air conditioner because of the cost. I'm going to tell them to just put their money towards getting a bigger unit that uses the ducting system they spent so much on already.
