The guy showed up on a Saturday with all of the new stuff, took out the old furnace and installed the new AC/furnace and hauled the old stuff off. Probably took him five or six hours start to finish. I think my house is around 2000 sq feet. I had a swamp cooler before that but it was too much maintenance and upkeep for my liking. I much prefer to just flip a switch one way or the other if I need hot or cold.
Wow. I’d like to find that guy. I’ve got 2 AC/furnace units at my house that have been unreliable and I’m afraid may be on their last legs. I’m bracing myself for a big bill and am hoping they’ll make it through the summer so I won’t be overcharged in the “heat”of the AC season.
