    My heater only worked on high before, and when I would turn it on it would make a horrible screeching sound. The thermostat turned out to be bad, once this was replaced, it seems to work a lot better.

    Blower only works on high. A/C not coming on at all. A/C light not coming on at all. No leaks in AC as it is holding pressure and correct amount of Freon
