The bad news is the central air unit died after three years and two service calls (replacing the compressor and adding freon). It won't start again for love or money. It's been sweltering for two days and it's going to be until Friday. It's being replaced along with the entire vent system. The new unit will have heat. The heat never worked. ![]() Get off my lawn! ![]() | ||

Yikes, is that covered under warranty? We just replaced our furnace and a/c after 17 years. The a/c was failing. But it managed to hang on until we replaced it last month (waited 3 months for equipment).

Some sympathy if you are in Florida. If you are in Hawaii I must say I have a hard time conjuring sympathy for anyone living in the islands. ![]()

Was it only 3 years old?! Our new equipment was $14k (about 7 for each half). Pretty much 2x what it cost 17 years ago. Ouch. It’s been a spendy year.

I estimate its age to be 20 years. | |||

Oh, okay. From your original post I thought it was only 3. 20 is about average for these things, I’m told.

You will like the new system. It’s going to work much better than the old one ever did.

They're coming this morning between 8- 9. I cleaned the house, did the laundry, and moved the furniture away from the vents. I'm having SO's mother pick me up at 7. We'll have breakfast. She's an amazing cook. It's kind of hard to explain but I have my work process planned to put the house back together and clean it with maximum efficiency when I get back. SO went to stay with his mother the minute the AC died. I was invited but declined. It's been a rough slog through these days with temperatures up to 92 with the temperature outside being cooler than inside by 10 or 11 with no respite until about 7. I've had to open doors to get a cross breeze, set my fan on high, and avoid the direct sunlight streaming in at various times of the day. I know it's worth it and so glad the stressful part is over. | |||

Steve, you were right. I'm enjoying it. The thermostat and the actual measured temperature at the control panel are tracking to the exact number. The old one never did this. It didn't even come close. | |||
