Me: "I'm sorry did you say a day or a week!!"
Air man: "Yes, this is an older unit and if we can even get the part it can take that long or we may just have to replace the entire unit."
Me: "Ok, how much for a new unit"
Air man: "Let me make a call"
Me thinking to myself: "Sure, you make a call. I'm just dying to know how much for an entire NEW UNIT!"
Air man just calming and nonchalantly said: "Ok, we can replace the whole thing for $4200. Do you want to just replace it?"
I have to say I almost thought I was going to have a mini breakdown right there in front of him.
OH YES MR. AIRMAN, I HAVE $4200 JUST BURNING AN FING HOLE IN MY POCKET RIGHT NOW. PLEASE GO RIGHT AHEAD AND GET MOVING ON THIS PROJECT BECAUSE I HAVE ALL THE DAMN MONEY IN THE WORLD!.
At this point I'm literally have an mini drama meltdown in my head. I calming excuse myself to call Jordan. I did not calming tell Jordan what was going on. After a little bit of a rant, I went back outside to talk to the air guy.
He then explained to me that he can replace the motor for a few hundred dollars. What did I want to do?
Ummmmmm...........let me think about this. Do I want to spend $400 to fix the problem or $4200 to fix the problem. I think I'll go with the $400, but thank you so much for the option.
Fortunately our air is still working until they get the dang thing fixed! Geez I hate home ownership sometimes.

Oh, noisy air conditioners! Was it because of the old motor, then? Recently, our air conditioner was also producing a loud noise. I checked it and found out that the noise was coming from a dirty filter and that the fan blades were slowly wearing out. What we did then was to clean the filter and replace the fan blades with new ones. And voila! No more noise.

Well, if you have a budget for a replacement, you should buy new because the air man himself said that it’s an older unit and advising you to purchase a new one means that he already considers it as the better solution. However, he still offered a way out of your problem. Your AC is already old, but it can still be fixed. So, how has your AC unit been after the repair? I hope that it still doing well, but if keeps on breaking down, you should consider having it replaced.

Did you know, older air conditioners or any appliance perse nets you a higher bill? It's very advisable that if you have the money, buy a new one to replace your broken appliances. I think that everything can be fixed, even your old AC. It's just that if come to think of it, if your AC breaks down every time and your expense accumulate just the same. Mignon Her
