meloo09 0 #1 August 1, 2005 I don't know how it happened but I've upset the AC gods apparently. Drew and I move from our dz trailer(where the AC hardly ever worked), to a lovely remodeled house. Come to find out the AC compressor took a dump there too. A local company quoted me 1500.00 just for the compressor and I guess the landlord lost his mind when he heard that. I'm STILL waiting to hear back from him about what is going to be done. I'm sitting at work dreading going back to that hotbox. My new house is soooo cute but right now I hate it! I also heard that this is third hottest summer on record and don't I know itWhat you do speaks so loud, I cannot hear what you say. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marcandalysse 0 #2 August 1, 2005 That's about standard for that part of the AC system. Another $1500 for the air handler indoors. I had to replace both last year, did it in 2 phases. Hope you all stay COOL! marc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meloo09 0 #3 August 1, 2005 Really Drews cousin said that they were replaced complete systems for 1600.00. We were also told that most AC compressors don't cost more than 200.00. Grrrrrr, so aggrivatingWhat you do speaks so loud, I cannot hear what you say. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #6 August 1, 2005 When I was a kid, we didn't have it. I was 16 before we got a window a/c unit. I certainly can't live without it now. I also do any camping in the winter because of the heat and bugs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peacefuljeffrey 0 #7 August 1, 2005 Yup, I think you should get a window unit, as well. And it will be a backup for the future if anything else goes wrong with the central A/C. I got one for $180 + tax (about $200) and my landlady reimbursed me for it, when my last one quit a month ago. That was for a 12,000 BTU model, which does a good job on my small bedroom and living room. I don't see how anyone could possibly bear sleeping (or anything else) about Florida in the summer if there was no A/C. It would certainly help account for the idea that a person could be driven to acts of rage. If I had to sleep every night without air conditioning, I would be a VERY different person!

TheAnvil 0 #8 August 2, 2005 Hang in there, Em! At least you'll appreciate it more when you finally get the A/C fixed. Until that time, I suggest drinking tequila to make you feel better.
