I'm replacing my old unit. It crapped out late last summer after 34 years of trouble free service. So, got a new furnace last fall and waited till now to put the AC part of it in.
Just hope this one is as good as the last one was.
You got your money's worth out of the old unit. Despite the size of this house, with all the windows and bay windows there's only one spot to put the inside part of the unit and there's only an inch of space one either side of it. We've gotten along very well in all these years with a couple window units, but NOOOOO she wants a split unit. I had to remind her that she rarely turned the window unit on last year. It's worth the $2k just to shut her up and leave me alone.....
