Roof is Up... but No AC

So mom comes over today at 3:30 p.m. and says it's HOT! Roof peeps are still here so they help her and it turns out the breakers are flipped. They flip them back. Still nothing on the bottom unit (the one that was FINE last week) but the top unit starts working (the one that was "fixed" last week - put a new motor in). So it starts cooling off (i.e. made it from 90 to 88 in the hour before we left).

We leave, go to the concert and just KNOW we're going to get home to a cool house. But no. The breaker has flipped back and it's 90 again (upstairs; mind you the downstairs unit has yet to even start).

So... I have NO idea what's going on.

My theory: the upstairs unit's new motor is too powerful for the breaker. The downstairs unit has been trying to help out the upstairs unit and now they're both effed. I just hope my house doesn't set fire tonight.... this effing sucks. And you KNOW that breaker will flip again the minute I fall asleep.

P.S. It's too hot to see if the roof looks good... hope it does.

P.S.S. Supposedly the guy who "fixed" our AC last time is coming tommorrow. When? Who knows - he's working us in. Lovely.
