Everything this admin does either frays the fabric of American society or makes your life more espensive and vexing. And it’s all so unnecessary!
Thank God we got our HVAC replaced just in time. Cost $7000. Now it would be closer to 12-14k...........FJB!...............
You can use natural gas in a chiller system, but You’re more likely to see that in an industrial environment.
New HVAC 3 years ago. $7,000.
Rheem 5 ton 15 Seer variable speed $5799 plus instalation.
“We had a new central heating/air installed last September - 11K.”
Pricing is meaningless without specs and installation costs.
June of 2022, two 3 ton units, using old duct work, $9200.
The marxist are determined to drag us back to the 19th century with only their elites allowed creature comforts. I suspect at some point the elites will get a dose of reality when the peasants rebel. I don’t know when, where or why but history is clear and it repeats itself.
See #26
Return on Investment:
Federal definition: Spend several hundreds of billions dollars and over the next few generations we should see significant improvement in the lives of our constituents, after all it’s for the children. You can’t put a price tag on quality of life
Private party definition: the time it takes to recover the cost of the initial investment based upon the savings.
In central Florida it’s easily 14K to 20k. You might get a cheap one for 9K maybe.
Stealth euthanasia.
Good deal there for the Rheem. Our unit including changeout for a 4 ton was 7500 last year. Figure it will last till I am looking at it from the other side of the lawn.
Rats are pro choice /s
Really start worrying when they figure out how to ban portable units. I’m having a house built and there’s no way I’m putting in central air. It’s either going to be the roll around portables with the window hoses, muliple split-packs or, as a last resort, window units. I’m not putting that much money into a single point-of-failure whole-house unit.
“I’m not putting that much money into a single point-of-failure whole-house unit.”
So installing multiple points of failure is better?
They all fail eventually. I have a Goodman central A/C and 2 non-name Chinese window units. They all failed. Only the Goodman has been owner-serviceable. It was eating voltage rectifiers every month until I installed the cheapest $17 version off Amazon. Made in China too. It’s been going fine for 4 years.
“Figure it will last till I am looking at it from the other side of the lawn.”
Here’s hoping you outlast it!
The hypocrisy of Fed.gov is on full display.
AI is booming, completely unregulated, with chips expected to use 1000W of power in near future, and growth in the many millions of units per year
Meanwhile, Fed.gov fascists continue to over-regulate your toaster and air-conditioner, to possibly save 1-2 Watts of power consumption.
We’re any HVAC people included in this?
Same with the toilets, did they ever consult with any plumbers
THAT DOES IT!
I am NOT gonna vote for Biden !!!
(I didn’t care that he’s starting a nuclear WW3. I didn’t care when he keeps attempting to give away trillions of our tax dollars buying votes for himself. I didn’t care that he’s flying in tens of thousands of illegals — thus bypassing the border stations completely —I didn’t care when he’s been destroying our savings and raising the cost of living far far beyond what any working person can possibly afford...
but taking away our air conditioner is a step too far!

I believe “In the Heat of the Night” was the same way
