The unit is a Intertherm..... The inside unit comes on fine but the outside hums....I looked outside this morning and the fan is not coming on...so I turned the thermostat off!!! Could someone please tell me who I can contact or what it could be?? And possible how much money I may be looking at to fix?

Hi,
Don't have any info on local hvac contractors. Cost would depend on problem and competitive charge rates for your area.
Can you go outside and tell if the compressor is running without the fan or is nothing at all running.
Could be a bad fan motor, run capacitor, contactor or just a wiring problem (dog, cat, squirrel,mouse, etc. chewed wire into) .
Thanks,
Robert

When the weather warmed up a bit, it ran fine! I could hear the compressor running...just had it replaced last year! It sounds almost like a vibrating noise now when the fan its running though.

Hi,
Could be the motor going bad, a loose mounting bracket, etc.. .
I would go ahead and get someone out to look at it before it gets cold again.
Thanks,
Robert
