When our air conditioning unit died, my associate and I wanted to put off purchasing another one until the winter.
I also thought air conditioning units would go down in price while they were getting out the new season’s inventory… Unfortunately, with all the rate hikes in everything, the seasoned inventory A/C units were selling for more than when they were the new inventory a year ago.
I wanted an A/C unit with a SEER of at least 22, however our spouse said my associate and I could not afford that. With him being the only one working right now, my associate and I had to budget, even if it meant giving up a bit of efficiency. The prices were so insanely outrageous, that my associate and I even considered trying to get the seasoned air conditioning unit fixed. It would cost half as much as a new air conditioning unit, and my associate and I would have air conditioning. My spouse shook her head. She said before she put that much into a repair, she would care about purchasing new air conditioning, and use our debit cards. My nice friend and I talked for a couple of afternoons before deciding what my associate and I were going to do. She told myself and others she thought my associate and I should go with the new air conditioning. When she found one that had excellent ratings, and the SEER was 21, I agreed. My nice friend and I called the heating and A/C company and asked if they still had that model in stock. My nice friend and I were both surprised when she told us it was on sale, and it was going to be 10% lower than she had estimated, and the replacement was going to be free.
