Our AC developed a bad leak and it was time to replace it. Due to the work that had to be done, it was a good time to replace the water heater as well.
That’s the old equipment above. The AC was about 35+ years old, and the water heater 15-20. Both of them had lived long past their natural lifespans 🙂
The new systems are much more energy efficient and much quieter. It took two guys about ten hours to install everything and they did an incredible amount of work in that time. The lead installer (who resembled Santa!) told me he’s been doing 5 installs a week for 27 years!
We’ve now replaced every appliance we got with this house except the oven and the mower. The latter is over 40 years old now and I actively neglect it yet it fires up every year and does it’s job. I wonder how many more years it has in it?
