We were going back and forth about needing new window air conditioning units, or a central air conditioning unit.
- We let the HVAC technician talk us into getting a central air conditioning unit, even if it was almost six times more expensive than the window air conditioning units we had been using.
After only a month, my husband said he like the old air conditioning better. He wasn’t happy with the central air conditioning and said he wouldn’t have wasted this much money if it had been for the HVAC technician. I was sure he was going to choose to get new window air conditioning units that night. We always enjoyed window air conditioners, and our energy bills weren’t nearly as high as those of our neighbors and friends. I told him we could have the HVAC company remove the central air conditioning unit. It was only a month old, and how much could it have depreciated in that time. He told me to call, but if they depreciated it by more than 10% we would keep it. I called the HVAC company the next day and told them we weren’t happy with the central air conditioning unit. We talked about how the HVAC technician had insisted we buy the central AC unit, even though we wanted window air conditioning units. When I was done talking, they took the air conditioning unit back and replaced it with four new window AC units, and it cost us nothing. They gave us our money back and put the air conditioning unit back on the market as gently used.
