Old Air Conditioners
My daughter is renting a lovely older home in New Jersey with three
~20 or more year old Air Conditioners in it. They don't work, they just blow air hot air. Does it make any sense to try and get them repaired? |

If they are indeed broken, its not worth fixing. Today's A/C's are more efficient. |

A new AC at Walmart is about $125. I doubt you can get an appliance guy to
fix it for that much money. So, no, it doesn't make much sense. Save the old Ac to put back in, when she moves. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org ..

He will pay as much to fix them as getting something new most likely, and new units are probably twice as efficent. |

And if she should replace them, they will automatically become the property of the owner of the bldg unless she works out a different deal with them. So beware tha tway too. |

Why would they become the owners? Portable units come out is seconds and none of the building is altered. Just keep the old ones for the owner. No different than a TV or kitchen table. |

Not if she keeps the old ones and puts them back when she moves out. -- Wayne Boatwright ------------------------------------------- Tuesday, 07(VII)/22(XXII)/08(MMVIII) ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- 'It's as BAD as you think, and they ARE out to get you.' ------------------------------------------- |
