Yeah, that shit is extreme... and I'd much rather deal with 110°+ in Phoenix than the extreme humidity in KC in the summer AND the bitter ass cold temps in the winter. [Reply]

I would consider one if I ever had to replace mine.
I’m on a maintenance plan with my hvac company and it’s worth it. $500.00 for the year gets me two visits, 24/7 response time in an emergency and 50% off any parts.
They blow out my condensation lines and replace the water panel on my humidifier (yes it’s a carrier too) and clean out the blower assembly for the winter. I use these gigantic filters that last 4-6 months depending on how much I use it. The last AC unit lasted 17 years and the furnace 30 years with no maintenance. I don’t feel like buying another one.
Hey I wanted to ask you. My guy installed an N coil instead of a v coil and he was right I didn’t need a mega ton unit to cool the house. I can see my own breath in the summertime. You like tonage better than a bigger coil? [Reply]
Right this instant it's -10 degrees. Sun is shining and the wind chill is a comfy -36.
Just letting CP know right now that if I disappear some day and stop posting it's because my attempt to force a family move to somewhere warmer failed and I'm dead. [Reply]
I have usually been to Florida, Hollywood or Miami at least 2-3 times by now for work, but those conferences have been cancelled. It has always made the Iowa winters a lot more palatable. -30's windchills today, Thanks Covid... [Reply]
