The split system AC in my workshop had a control board in the outdoor unit go bad about 2 months after the standard warranty expired and I just left the breaker to the thing turned off for a while because I was positive that it was going to be a ridiculously expensive fix . I fired it back up a week or so ago and re-troubleshot it and the guys at the manufacturer sent me a new outdoor control PCB for free! That’s the right price!
It arrived on my doorstep today and as I type this, the temperature in my workshop is dropping towards 75° F, which is a pretty excellent temperature for working on cars.
My AC has an outdoor unit and 2 indoor units and only one of the indoor units is powering up right now . I’ll talk w/ the guys at the mfg again tomorrow and see what a new control board for the indoor unit costs, because that’s what looks like needs to be replaced to get the system running 100% again.
Once I get the AC sorted and buy a set of under-hoist safety stands, the workshop is going up on GarageTime, so if you’re an Austin area apartment dweller and need a place to do short projects in style and comfort , keep an eye out.

For a moment, I thought this was going to be the opposite post, with you complaining about the temperature dropping due to autumn approaching and you needing to put a heater into your shop.
In any case, glad it worked!

Some of us may have a northern bias. Though honestly I should have been running my AC today, it got hot here in Boston for a bit. The cold is coming though...

I’ve had my heat on for a few weeks. It’s dropping to single digits at night for the most part, and it’ll be in the mid-teens after tomorrow.

Very nice! I have heat in the garage for the 6 months out of the year that I live in a frozen hellhole, haven’t convinced myself that the two months of 90 degrees + humid are worth putting A/C in there yet, though. Who made your unit?

It’s a Pioneer, but not the Pioneer you’ve heard of. You can find them on Amazon for what seems like a super reasonable price. I’m not entirely certain that they’re a better deal than a Mitsubishi or Daikin unit but the US distributor has been great to work with.
