Air conditioning saga

We are the proud new owners of a Carrier air-conditioner. It's an efficient hybrid system whereby if Al Gore visited us, he would likely fall to the floor, weeping with joy. This is one fancy system. We'll get a tax rebate next year, and a check from Georgia Power.
Anyway. The nice people at Energy Savers installed it yesterday. Around 4 a.m., about four hours before they arrived, our neighbor had a sizable tree limb fall on the corner of their roof; and the wood had to be cleared out some to make room for our workers installing the outside unit. The limb also knocked down a power line, and the neighbor's electricity was off all day. When I came home late afternoon to check on everything, the Georgia Power guy was working on the pole. Then our electricity went out, including of course the new Fancy AC System. I figured it'd come back on, so I went to the gym. Came home and it was still out. Called Energy Savers. A tech came out right away and went into the indoor system and figured out that a wire got "zapped" when the power went out. That's my technical name for it.
Baby's working like a charm this morning.
I sure do whine when AC's out; and it's really not that hot here yet. At least it didn't happen in August.
Happy Friday.
