Good News/Bad News

I don’t really know how to best classify any of this news so I’m going to break it up into the following categories:

The "No Duh!"

Our most immediate issue with our AC unit truly is the compressor, this was just confirmed for us by another contractor (the second in the last five days, the umpteenth in the last five years).

The Good

There are folks out there that will do anything to shut me up and get me off the phone. One such person would be the Phoenix area rep for Carrier. After many, many phone calls and me sobbing about how we cannot live this way anymore, my ill son, etc. etc. this gentleman was gracious enough to do “what’s right” as he put it and give me a new compressor although my warranty was up six months ago (typical). Thank God for all those years of Catholic school where I learned from the best that guilt is your strongest weapon…thank you Sister Mary Catherine wherever you are!

The Bad

Although the compressor is being covered under warranty it is our responsibility to pay labor….to the tune of $880.

The Insanely Bad

All in all we have put in well over $2,500 into our AC just this season alone….I’m praying we’re not about to throw good money after bad!

As I write this I have Michele shaking out the sofa cushions in hopes of finding $880….if not is anyone interested in purchasing two kids and a dog? Cash and credit cards accepted and shipping is free!

Hopefully, I’m done talking about air conditioning for a while although our track history tells me not to hold my breath.
