A/C compressor died! - Ed Brown ordered!

[AEA]

Thursday afternoon (102 Deg) my A/C compressor died! Too late to get anyone out that day, but setup a appointment for Fri. A/C guy replaced it Fri afternoon. I was waiting for him on the patio under the umbrella with a wet rag over my head! It was 99 in the house but cooler outside with the breeze and wet rag!

Was just about to pull the trigger on a new Ed Brown build! Had to defer and use the money for the A/C.

EDIT: Ordered the Brown anyway!

Yuk. Been in that situation before and it's no fun.

Mine went out a couple of years ago in August. It got up to 120 degrees upstairs. There's nothing like getting out of the shower and immediately breaking into a sweat.

After the replacement, it took a full 24 hours to cool the house back down.

It's been brutal down here as well. I had to replace a compressor a couple of months ago. It didn't cost an Ed Brown, more like a Kimber Ultra. I am glad that you got a guy to come out so quick.

You could always do like I have seen so many do: Go to Home Depot, buy two or three room or portable A/Cs, and use them until your central is repaired, and then return them to Home Depot complaining that they don't cool very well.

I know, every time I see two or three at a time going out the door, that I will be seeing them back in a few days, and that they work perfectly well, but will be marked down 25% just because they were returned.

Same for me. July of last year. Sure was glad that I could hustle the family and dog over to the hotel until I could get someone out.

Too bad you dont live closer as I have been in the a/c business for 38 years and could have helped you out

I hate it when people do that. Might as well be stealing.

It seems Home Depot guarantees their "plants" for a year.
The ultimate I heard was that Home Depot had to make a special rule regarding Christmas Trees. Seems people were trying to return them after Christmas under the guarantee.

Had the same thing happen to me last August. I feel for you.

I was going to ask how this relates to the Air Conditioning subject, but then I realized that it fits right in.
Wait for it...

You're getting the gun in case you need to "ventilate" some rascal, right?

[AEA]

RIGHT!

Not really, it was just a money thing. But I figured out how Obama does things and just applied his tactics to my personal finances to make the buy!

Does that mean your children and your children's children will be paying this new gun off for years to come?

[Pawpaw]

This is the kind of "stimulus package" I can get behind!

That is a beautiful pistol.

They are stealing, they are liars. If I saw that happen and that person applied for work where I was working, they would not get a job. I DESPISE thieves and liars.
