What's new

There goes the A/C unit....

Oh no and did the heat outside start up yet? Our humidity turned on this week, so our A/C has been blasting away.
 
Shut the front door, Dalis! We're twins: Ours died Saturday. We replaced our HVAC system yesterday. Hopefully it's an easy fix for you. Our system was 17 years old and the a/c had already been fixed at least 5 years ago (before we moved in)...we worried that the (second) repair was going to break in the middle of summer, and if we were still in quarantine, then it would have been really not fun to be at home in the hot and humid temps here, especially since DS has bad seasonal allergies so we can't open the windows. It was already yucky in his room this weekend. So we had the whole system replaced.

Sorry to ramble! I just made a lo about this lol so it's on my mind.

Oh, no! Hope it's a quick, easy, inexpensive fix! We have two HVAC systems - one for the bedrooms and one for the rest of the house. Both have gone out at different times many times over the 25 years we've been here. Fortunately, we can just migrate to whatever part of the house is working when that happens, so although it can be pricey, at least we aren't too uncomfortable.
 
Oh no, Dalis! We have two units, also and the upstairs unit was just replaced. Of course, ours runs year round so it/they really get a workout.
 
Oh no!!! I'm sorry Dalis! At least it's supposed to cool off this weekend, so you won't be melting while you wait for repairs. Our AC sounded like it was struggling when we turned it on a few days ago, so I think I'm going to schedule someone to come look at it... except I'm afraid they will say it needs to be replaced. We've been in our house 17 years and it wasn't new when we moved in! Eep!
 
Our 26 year old house has 2 HVAC systems and the upstairs one is about to get replaced! We just had 3 companies come give us quotes. Not sure how soon it will be. But the Virginia humidity is setting in so I'm looking forward to it, even though I will miss the fresh air coming through the windows that I've been enjoying.

Good luck Dalis!
 
Our unit is 20 years old, the last 3 years we have had to fill up the freon (gas) in the unit. Since it's so old, the gas is super expensive to buy and hard to get. Our guy has been filling up with his stash and charging us just what he paid for. He said last year that this year would be the year to replace the entire system. OUCH! The bill is not great!

Where is your page?
 
OMG... ours died either the 26th or 27th! I am so hot!!!!! at least today is not terrible!!!!!!! ours is york too! 20 yrs baby!
 
Hope you can get it replaced ASAP. Twenty years is great. My grandson is an HVAC installer. When he was over last Sunday he mentioned that he was fully booked for the next two weeks. Tis the season for repairs and replacements.
 
Oh no!!! I hope you can get it fixed soon. This week has been the first hot/humid week of the year for us. I can't imagine not having AC.
 
I would die! It's already in the 90s every day in Southwest Florida.
 
OH NO! We don't have air conditioning and it was hot earlier this week. I feel for ya!
 
Oh man :( sorry about that! We don't have air conditioning. We have to put units in the window.
 
Our home AC unit died a couple of years ago and .... no $$ to justify replacing it. Good thing is we have a wrap around porch and plenty of windows so it really doesn’t get too bad in our home. Our youngest son (21) who still lives at home bought himself a window unit last summer and pays us extra to cover the cost of running that in his bedroom on the second floor.
 
We just had ours repaired. The freon leaked out and the system froze up inside and outside. It is 20 years old so we need to plan on replacing it in the fall if it makes it that far. @Dalis I really hope that you are in the process of getting yours fixed. We all used to live without AC but not any more.
