Need new AC?

[Texas Clodhopper]

Ironically, and more likely coincidentally, our #1 and #3 units have soft starts…

As Neal mentioned earlier, I believe using them helps with longevity. I know my #1 and #3 get the most use. I try to run #2 when I think about it.

And for finding and plugging the leak?

Any updates @Richpatty?

During the Hoots Rally last week, several comments were directed to Casy regarding troubles with the dash air. The statement that stuck with me was the $6000 NIRV estimate to fix. I don't recall how many owners were having problems but it was several.
I finally located my freon leak at the compressor— Ca-cheng, ca-cheng. I will deal with this when I get home.

Nothing new… waiting on a quote from NIRVC… taking longer than expected…

No fear!

You can bring the unit onto the roof sliding it up a extension ladder. Same to get the old one down.

Cardboard works to slide them into location.

As far as strong goes, your next door neighbors 100 lbs wife could easily do it.

I appreciate the vote of confidence, but I literally have no one to help me. They are nearly 100lbs and wouldn’t want to risk hurting myself or someone else.

Update: After reaching out to Todd (manager at Atlanta) I was able to get a quote. They want $1861 for the AC unit, plus another $60 for gaskets and 2.5 hours of labor.

I guess its the price of owning these beasts...
