We spent the whole day at home due to the AC install. We got up at 7:30 because I thought the lady had said that they would come by a little after 9. They didn't show up until a little after noon.
It took them until almost 6 to do the install. The outside unit has the same rating, but is about twice the physical size. Apparently that is how they get the better efficiency.The inside part of the unit is much better than what was there (surprise, surprise). The old one was almost rusted through, which would have caused water damage. The intercooler inside the duct was crusted with mold. The whole thing looked like crap.
They also put in the air return. I don't know if that caused the improvement or the new blower, but the new system sure blows a lot more air through the ducts. It keeps the place nicely warm.
A cold front hit today, it's in the mid thirties. Apparently a hot day is needed to fill the AC completely. We'll have to wait until spring for that.
We did get a couple of things accomplished. We got all of the Christmas presents wrapped up. We can mail off John and Patty's, but we need to get a couple of gift cards for the others. We also got the Christmas tree and the outside lights put up. I sure do like that tree.
