It's supposed to rain on Thursday, but it has been over ten days since I mowed. My yard holds water, and the afternoon showers have the ground saturated in sports. I decided that today would be a good chance to roll the dice and see if I stick the mower. I didn't. Got the front mowed except for the front ditch.
Tomorrow we have a contractor coming in to replace the home AC unit. It's been limping along for a while, and it is 24 years old. It's time for an upgrade. We're getting a new inside furnace and outside AC unit. The contractor told me that out present unit pulls 40 amps, and the new one should pull no more than 13 amps. That should help the electric bill quite a bit.
We have a 3-ton unit now and I asked the guy if we needed to increase the tonnage. He took a quick measure of the house and told me that 3-tons would cool and heat it just fine.
It's allpart of being a homeowner.

how much?
What brand? Single speed, 2 speed, multi speed? New air handler, new line set?
We got ours done 3 years ago. Got a high efficiency 2 speed and a slightly oversized air handler. There are charts the HVAC guys have. Result is our SEER condenser is now a 21 EEER system. Super quiet and very effective. It’s a Coleman condenser, bigger and taller than a washing machine. air handlers are actually generic. The sized up one he installed has a better motor and a slightly larger coil. We did have to get a new line set because the old system was freon. Couldn’t be happier.
