This may seem like a dumbass question to be asking, but there are no dumbass questions, just dumbasses...

I run a Shuttle XPC in my office, and I have a problem. It's too damned hot in my upstairs to keep it cool. It lags when gaming, yada yada.

In my battle to get my home cooled better (central A/C/gas furnace), I found that my A/C condenser out behind the house is probably running ineffciently. The fan blows into the ground. My A/C maintenance company says that it's supposed to be that way. I think that's nuts.

Is there ANY chance than an HVAC guy here with Carrier unit experience (my A/C maintenance company is a Trane dealer -- where we got the new furnace recently) that could help me figure out, based on my model/serial numbers, if the fan DOES, in fact, BLOW into the ground?

From here, I hope to continue solving my computer cooling woes. ;)
