Well crap. That’s never good. Hopefully it’s a minor thing.

Nope… I wish! lol It was here when we bought this place over 6yrs ago. It has been a goodun, but gotta replace it now. Of course it needs to be done immediately, and at a time the ACs are priced through the roof! It’s a ‘through-the-wall’ big unit, that has kept the whole house very livable.

Good morning. Well that sucks. Time to move in to the barn. Anywhere would be better than inside a house with no AC this time of year.

lol We’ve already discussed that option! To order one today, would still be Friday earliest delivery from Amazon. To go to any store and buy it now would be even more expensive.

Yeah, nothing is cheap these days. It might be worth a few extra bucks to expedite the situation.

Yep, we’re looking into all options, including one I’m not happy about, but might have to go with. Having a tech come and fix this one., if it CAN be fixed! But if the tech costs almost as much as cost of a new one, the new is gonna be the way we go… in the end, a ‘fixed, older’ model is still just that, and won’t last as long as a new one.

I wish I was closer to you @JohnnyPotseed, I have a window unit we’re not using right now. It works pretty good when you’re in a pinch. These new window units are smaller and more energy efficient. No special installation, put it in the window and turn it on. I hope you get something going soon.

We have a couple of smaller window units in a shed. Brought em with us from the coast. No idea if they still work though… lol been sitting in the shed 6uyrs. Gonna have sone stick em in living room and bedroom. Hopefully they hold off the heat until we can either replace of fix this big unit.

I hope you can get it repaired or replaced quickly! I hate hot and humid living.

Holy shit!
You can’t seem to catch a break, man.
If the compressor is shot, you’re prolly better off getting a new one. Otherwise… A good cleanout, a recharge, or maybe the capacitors are shot. There’s really not much to an AC unit. If its the compressor, that’s bad. Everything else can be be replaced fairly easy.
Bad time of the year to be without AC in Oklahoma. Hope its something minor.

New models of air conditioners only lower the house to twenty degrees lower than outside temps. Techs call it the 20-degree rule. You can ruin the new ACs trying to lower the temps by more than 20 degrees.
When I was younger ACs would freeze your arse off. They were so good and efficent you could get the temps in the low 60s easily no matter how hot it was outside. I loved my Freon ACs.
