Our Eleven-Year-Old Central AC
By the title of the post, you may very well be able to guess what this is about. Yes. Our eleven-year-old central AC. Now, you might be asking yourself, "Just how long is a central AC unit typically good for?"
Good question.
Answer? About eleven years.
Yeah, I'm sure you didn't see THAT coming. This unit is so cost-ineffective that it'll cost us about $214.00 a month just to run the damn thing.
The only reason we're even considering getting a new one installed is because of a wonderful thing called financing. Gator Air is offering no payments, no interest for one full year on a 3.5 ton Bryant system. So, I guess that means that we can worry about the cost November of 2007. Maybe by then we would've won the lottery. Who knows?
Either way, I really don't think we have much of a choice. Unless we want to ignore it and replace it once it totally breaks down. Maybe we'll be lucky enough so that it doesn't bust on us in the middle of July.
At least we didn't get any surprises from the plumber. Yet.
