If the listing says "central air", or you can see an air conditioner compressor sitting next to the house, but there are window A/C units sticking out of many of the windows, then the central air is broken.  

I would also say that if the compressor invertor technology is the similar to  what they used in my LG refrigerator that failed twice  we have a long way to go. 

Once you have an AC compressor stolen or the copper plumbing removed, that deal is much less profitable.

(if other requirements of sec 179 are met)1250 for HAVC - The IRS states that an example of an air conditioning or heating unit that does not qualify as section 179 property is any component of a central air conditioning or heating system of a building, including motors, compressors, pipes, and ducts, whether the component is in, on, or adjacent to a building.

They commented:"the compressor breakdown was a result of secondary damages due to the poor maintenance conditions of the evaporator coil and therefore will not be covered by the company service plan" and they quoted a ~$2700 out of pocket repairs, or even a brand new AC. 

Maybe someone says it's the compressor.

New boiler in March 2016 and the A/C compressor is only 5 years old. 

@Paul Callaway In the past, I have paid $500 to have an AC compressor moved, which included draining the system, cutting the lines, moving the unit (I provided the new platform) and recharging it.

Now that "something" usually refers to water, however could be anything, an overheated motor, faulty compressor, a fork, etc.

We own (2) Pickup trucks, (1) utility trailer, large supply of hand tools, air compressor/ air tools, and yard tools.I have also imagined a partnership where I can add value with my capital, experience, and time in exchange for an equity partner and mentor to help me with the business and legal side of the industry.I would like to yield 50-70,000 Minimum off of my properties in the next 5-10 years, as that is the high and low end of my first two jobs.
