I already KNEW it was going to happen sooner or later. One of the local HVAC men kept it going last summer at about $250 x 3 calls.
He is NOT interested in finding just an outside a/c unit, he claims I need to change the whole system out. It is a two piece unit, but old meaning 1987.
The a/c unit fried today and stinks of burned wiring. TOO FAR GONE.
I had already done some research on the net for replacement a/c units, and am only coming up with the same song and dance he is telling me, that I need to replace the furnace and a/c as a unit. Parts alone are about 2900 plus shipping and installation if I go that route.
This old trailer has windows that slide to the side instead of up and down like normal windows, only one will open up wide enough to accept a small (5000 btu) window a/c. It is in my "computer room" which is the smallest room in the whole trailer, no practical way to make cool air turn two corners to our bedroom.
I need to buy some time. Portable units that the hoses can be mounted in the rinky dink windows we have are available up to 14,000 btu.
12,000 btu cool, with heat also can be bought for less than $500 with shipping. The wife already wants one for her horse trailer, smaller ones that are only practical for it are $300 or so.
I know it is a short term solution, but would 12,000 btu, also rated as a 1 ton, keep our bedroom cool enough to at least get some sleep?
