95 degrees and the AC unit died .
The AC in one of my houses crapped out yesterday . Had the HVAC guy out first thing this morning ( He does all my work ) . Naturally its the compressor . They make a replacement , but its 10 days out . So I dug into my stash of window units . 4 window shakers . The woman of the house was a bit upset . I told her to deal with it . I told her it was 3 grand for a new compressor , or 15 grand for a new unit . The house is being sold next year . My wife understands now and can deal with window AC units for a week or 2 .
If I was staying , I would replace . Since I am selling why spend the money ? The house is in a very popular area , homes last less than a week , and just thru word of mouth I have 4 interested parties who want to buy . House is in the mid to high 6oo's as is .
This is why I keep 8 window units as emergency back up .
