If I had to name 5 things I love, it would be my husband, my three kids and then my air-conditioner. I’m pretty serious here, too! Anyone that knows me knows that I like it cool and the cooler the better. So when my air conditioner broke twice this summer, I was not happy! We called someone to come out and repair it and he reported back to us that our air conditioner was 28 years old! WHOA! He said most air conditioning units didn’t last that long and it was time to start looking for a new one. Where to begin?

Oh gosh what I wouldn’t give to have this at my house, I really need AC in the summer season because I simply cannot breath in the hottest days of Summer in NH. I am going to have to look into this for next year!

We are in the process of fixing our air conditioner as we speak. It can be very frustrating at times to get it fixed, I should check in and see if Sears can do anything with ours.

All good things to know. Ours broke down this summer also and we were told to start saving toward a new one just in case. I’ll keep all of this in mind.

I agree! One of my loves here in Atlanta is our AC. Our upstairs AC just stopped working, so it sounds like I will need to call sears!

As I sit here, propped in front of my window unit, soaking wet with sweat… I am passing this info onto my hubby. We need central SO terribly bad!

With the heat with have been having, having our air running well is extra important. It’s great to maintain your devices so you don’t find yourself with costly repairs and uncomfortable family members.

Great tips! I’m so grateful to have a good A/C unit. It’s so needed during those hot summer months.

Our AC unit will need to be replaced in a few years, I’m guessing. It’s the original. This is great, helpful information!
