Why does Central A/C HAVE to be so expensive?

I got a few more phone calls to make. There's tons of HVAC companies in this area. So far I'm getting anywhere from $1800-$3000. We'll see who wants my money, assuming I can afford it... I *should* be able to pull it off.

It almost seems like the cost of the equipment goes up daily. $1800 is cheap, I don't think I can get the equipment for that.

I don't think you guys realize exactly how small my house is. A huge, expensive 3-4 ton Central Air unit is beyond OVERKILL.

I bet you $5 I could cool this place down to a halfway decent temp with a window A/C unit. We did that at my mom's house for years. I just didn't want one of those unsightly things... I hate looking at them.

EDIT:

Oh.

Looking at an installed system...

It's all starting to make a wee bit of sense.

Now I know what a "coil" is. it's a LOT bigger than I thought.

Now I KNOW those basta rds took the A/C system with them to their new HOUSE! STOLEN MY REAR!!!!!!

Ted15 · **Posted:** Sat Jul 06, 2013 8:13 pm

How big is your house? Mine is only 1100 sq ft and I put in a 2 1/2 ton unit. I have one that uses R22. The new ones are R410A and none of the old parts are compatable with each other. Is the A coil still there? How about the lineset? It is possible to get a new condensing unit to match the old system, if it's still there. They sell what they call "dry" condensing units as replacement parts so that you don't have to replace the whole system because, say, someone stole your condensing unit :shock:

The only drawback is that the dry part means that you'll need refrigerant too. R22 is pretty expensive right now.
Let me know what you have and what you want to do. I'll be glad to pick up one for you.

Marlon_JBT · **Posted:** Sat Jul 06, 2013 10:09 pm

They took the coil! (Now that I know what it is, I can identify it... or lack thereof)

Seller's Story: Oh, the central air. Yeah, it's gone. The condenser was stolen a while back.
Me: Oh, that sucks. Well I guess I'll get it reinstalled.

It didn't look stolen to me at all.

Now if just the condenser was stolen, where is the coil??? Huh? Where are the lines?

It's all gone too. They either took it to their new house, *or* they sold it when they figured out they weren't gonna make a single dime on this place.

The house is 821sq/ft. I'm assuming that is first floor only. 2nd floor is about half the size of the 1st. Talked to someone who had a very VERY similar house and they had a 2 ton unit, and it was always freezing in their house when I was a kid, so I figure that's what I should go with.

I bought a portable A/C unit. Figured I could take it up and downstairs whenever necessary. Already a big mistake and it will be going back tomorrow... this thing is way too loud!

So you starting from scratch, bummer. Did they leave the wire, the 220 volt one?

Yeah, go figure. And the hole in the wall. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!

Marlon_JBT · **Posted:** Sun Jul 07, 2013 10:06 am

I wonder what else they ripped off?

Probably the lightbulbs, heh.

Forgot to turn off the portable A/C thingy.

I'm actually glad I forgot.

Loved it when I visited a great friend of mine in Mesa/Phoenix a few years ago. Like said, a ton of sand and rocks but awesome 4 wheelin along with tons of other stuff to do and there's always the mountains. A very different "heat" but hot is hot. :pepper:

the AC has not been needed i have the front windows front door and the back windows open and i get a very nice cross breeze, then in the living room sitting on the coffie table i have a small 12 inch oscillating fan to move the air. then up stairs all of the windows are open with a 24 inch floor fan sitting on the dresser..... so the house stays cool so far the warmest that the house has gotten is maybe 80

for years my main mode of transportation was my bike, i would ride about 40 miles a day year round rain or shine. also from working for delphi running the anodizer with the steam dryer right next to me and being 95+ in the plant has given me a strong tolerance to the heat, and 95% of the time i drink water and maybe will have a glass of un-sweet tea i can't stand sweet tea i can just feel my teeth rotting away.
