Today our new air conditioning unit was installed. Although not my first choice of things to do today, I suppose it was well worth it to devote 5 hrs of my day off to have it installed. Our old unit had seen better days and was performing very poorly. We have had many extremely hot days lately, and our air conditioner was super struggling. We changed the setting higher to help it out, cut back the bushes around the unit for better air circulation, installed a new ceiling fan in our bedroom and got a fan for Bentley, but in the end it just wasn't enough. It had begun to make strange noises when it shut off and despite the higher temperature setting it was still getting warmer inside than the setting should have allowed. Needless to say our power bill the past few months has been monstrous and Gary hasn't allowed me a cuddle in the same amount of time. Double negative which does not make a positive. And let me tell you, the extra days I have put in "at the office" for some extra money were not supposed to be for a new AC unit! But, as I hear it, that is one of the beauties of owning a home....
We purchased our new unit through Sears and two men came to the house to install it. If anyone is in the same boat we are this summer, we were pretty satisfied with them in terms of price, timeliness, and customer service. The technicians arrived when they were scheduled to, completed their work, and were courteous. The new unit was up and running before I knew it. They showed me the changes, I signed some papers, and off they went.
That is pretty much the whole of my day...
bright, shiny and new!!!
