Riley did her best but couldn't fix it.
There's no real emergency services for low income in my area.
Lovely.

We ordered one more part that she may think is the culprit. Process of elimination. She thinks it's an electrical issue of sorts and she has the tools to test it.

She certainly does.

It just hit me that I have a trans woman friend/roommate who wears a short skirt while working on the HVAC.
I don't think me or anyone else in the world will ever see something like that again.
It's almost like seeing a UFO in personal.
I guess I have a bit of a wild living situation here.

So what have you guys done so far? My capacitor failed last year and AC guy replaced it.

Damn, I'm on edge checking for updates on the unfolding drama. Riley's reputation is on the line. If the AC doesn't get fixed within 24 hours, the scooter must go. Enough of being lenient about this procrastrination.

Well, we tried. The whole A/C unit may be cooked.

Check Facebook for used window units and look for a used air mover. if you have a fridge you're going to need to get the temps down in the kitchen as well or you may risk losing the fridge.

You guys are trying to fix an outside AC unit like that without calling a repairman? You two are brave folks.

For the condenser it's either the contactor, capacitor, or fan motor, i would check in that order. If the wires are burnt up it's most likely due to a loose connection from or to the contactor usually to the compressor, If they're burnt up, corroded, or dirty clean them up or put new connectors on them. If it's still not kicking on after all that then you probably blew a fuse at your furnace so check that. One last thing to check is the wires running from the furnace motherboard to the condenser. If the two wires are broken somewhere then it the condenser wont kick on. I've done about everything to my hvac system and i plan on doing most of the work i can legally get away with when i get a new system next year.

I don't know if e-begging is allowed here (doubt not) but I could REALLY use the help to at least get a couple portable AC units I'm literally getting heat exhaustion over the past few days and I don't know what else to do.
I'm on day 9 or 10 now.

Portable heaters are cheap at home depot, like $20 for a small room sized one. Remember they all use 1500 watts so they all produce the same heat. No need to get a super expensive one.

Is this a rental or does he own it?
He doesn't need a heater, unless he wants to die quicker.
Heaters? Do you and your roommate want the sweat your balls off?

That's one way to complete the transition

AC Units I meant. Typo.
Lanlord can't fix because I own the trailer the space is on. I rent the space.

Do you work? I think you should look for a way to get an advance or a loan to cover the cost of a unit.
If you are in vegas, (i think you are there ) go spend some time in a casino. Free AC.

Best of luck dude. Drink lots of water, avoid excess caffeine (can dehydrate), go to the pool or library during the day, in the evening get an old baseball cap and run it under the faucet then toss it in the freezer and wear it while it melts, and alternate hats. Can put ice in baggies as well and hold it in your armpits and it drops your body temp a degree or so. We had a summer without AC once when I was younger. You really need to figure out something for basic survival and income if you can't afford a $40 AC. That's a small pit stop at the grocery store these days. You might call around local government offices and see if there's any kind of assistance programs or discounts.
Heat warnings are critical in many states through August 11th. If you still have a dog, please take care of it, shave its hair if needed and take it somewhere with A/C during these peak parts of summer. They don't drink as much water as humans. Wet food also helps hydrate a bit.

OK I recommend you get a Home depot and they have cheap window units for 150. You can then use that split payment stuff to cover you.
This is not good financial advice. But advise to get you through an emergency.
Then you need to start putting part of your SS into savings on a monthly basis. You need to figure out how to save $1000. So you can cover an emergency. It sounds impossible but it is about behavior not income.
If you are home bound I would figure out what you can do to bring in extra income. Like there are people with remote call center jobs or tech support jobs. You seem to have a computer so I would look into that.
You have to change some things to improve your life. It is hard but you can do it.

This is good advice. But if you get a job and make too much they can kick you off SSI. I'm seeing more people go thrift shopping or hit up amazon bin stores to resell stuff on Facebook and ebay because disability isnt enough. I was talking to a guy at the thrift store and he was telling me he buys jeans and sells them on ebay, he sold one pair of old jeans for $70.OK I recommend you get a Home depot and they have cheap window units for 150.

I would advise just throwing a few bucks in Robinhood. Treat it like a savings. Buy a partial stock on something safe Apple or Microsoft and just let it grow.
Shouldn't this be THE GOAL? Why scrape by off SSI if you can find a job that pays you well and accommodates your disabilities? Doing some crap job for pennies in order to keep SSI when you could have a real decent job seems like a real defeatist mindset.

I can just imagine the Europeans who went to America hundreds of years ago and ended up in a hellish 110 degree hellscape with indians and trannies.
