    Something's drawing too much current? The techs they sent out are ...less than competent?

    How old is the unit? What, precisely, is happening when the fuse blows? Does the current slowly climb until the fuse lets go, or does it hold steady until something happens? Was any work performed recently? New thermostat maybe?
