Learn as much as you can about DIY through you tube. even if you hire contractors, you need to know what is going on to talk intelligently about the situation and make sure you aren't getting ripped off.

I live in FL so I know about having to use A\C year round.As you know people mention a brand and price but not model which will ultimately determine the total cost.I was in the exact same situation and due to the rusted coil tubing, and overall condition of the Air Handler decided for a total A\C replacement.Payne is considered "Builders Grade" lowest grade and some A\C guys argue not to install them because it reflects on their reputation when you have problems with the system.Look for the highest seer rated, quietest, best warranty HVAC that is fairly priced.The installer is a HUGE part of the HVAC's life span, along with your regular changing filters, cleaning coils when needed, cleaning drain lines and vacuuming dust out of the Air Handler Cabinet.

Asbestos siding and knob-and-tube wiring; even ungrounded cloth wiring is undesirable today.

I am looking at $5-$6k in part due to some drywall cutting we will have to do in a hallway and the plan is to remove/modify/replace crown molding to run the tubes behind it.Also - anyone had potential tenants or buyers be turned off by the appearance issue of having the interior units?

The "smoke" you see us exhale is water vapor - and its not even from the liquid in the tube - it is moisture drawn from the air by a piece inside called an atomizer.

Anyone who has been to our You Tube page or website can obviously see that our rehabs look awesome.  

We do exciting projects like replacing the dishwasher and planting garden beds rather than ripping out knob and tube wiring.
