You got a good deal brother. Idk where you are located but hvac companies are hurting due to many reasons. & variable speed is the way to go for sure but won’t matter much if installers don’t properly adjust airflow settings (CFM). Variable speed is like an electric stove slowly building up and only using what it needs. Single just comes on full blast then shuts off when it’s satisfied. Nowadays with the smart thermostats and all variable speed is the way to go

Why are you paying for a new A/C unit in October? Even the warmest parts of the country have at most 2-3 weeks left where they will need A/C. Just get a $300 portable unit for a few weeks until winter gets here.

Your inspection should have told you the age of the A/C unit. Most sellers also include a home warranty that covers A/C failures.

The problem is can't get the parts with a license and with EPA Cert 1-3 or universal for charging the system. So basically no go juice and no parts. Chances are its a simple fix though and OP is just too dumb to figure it out.

isnt it like 99% of the time a $0.30 capacitor. Lol

[Anonymous No.56340525]

>>56339872
7/10 times it’s a capacitor, $45 part that takes 10 minutes to swap out. The reason most systems require replacement is because a new generation of units came out that is rated for SEER2, not SEER like they used to be, they have different compressors, coil design and pressures. Indoor and outdoor coils must be matched on the AHRI chart or else the system won’t run right, so you shouldn’t swap a 410A SEER2 condenser (brand new) onto a 410A SEER indoor coil. You can do it, but if the old system is R22, then the entire thing needs replaced, there is no retrofitting an R22 system, the designs are too different. Plus, R22 system oil trapped in the lines will chemically react with 410A system oil, as well as any traces of leftover R22 refrigerant, and burn up the brand new unit.

>tfw fell for the ownership meme

[Anonymous No.56340575]

>>56340529
18 years is a good life for one of these systems, they’re engineered to last 15. I pulled out an old GE system from the 70s last year, damn thing was still running, only died because the indoor coil sprung a leak. Compressors on those GEs were built to last forever.

As for your system, it’s very important to choose a contractor who knows what he’s doing. Even if you pay a little more up front, avoiding “side job Bob” slapping a new system into poor ductwork or not being able to charge the system correctly could save you thousands and thousands.

Sounds reasonable. Pre Weimar the rule of thumb was $500 per window, coming from my boomer sources. Could be more if you get quadruple paned with xenon and shit. I need new windows and siding too but I'm trying to put it off for like 10 years and just deal with them being a little drafty.

Well, yes, there’s “replacement R22” that’s used when they need recharging, but my point was that you can’t use a 410A condenser on an R22 coil, or vice versa. Some people do it but it’s always a hackjob and the system never runs right.

2 years VIP maintenance? You understand that these units come with a 2 year total warranty (including labor) from the manufacturer, right? And a ten year parts warranty. So you paid an extra 2-4k for stuff your warranty already covers.
