Our house is 45 years old and we’ve live here for 37 years. In the last few year months we have replaced all the windows, majorly remodeled the master bedroom and master bath. In the last couple years we’ve replaced the roof ( shingles and decking), the submersible well pump, exterior and interior doors, Installed new hardwood floors, and asphalted the driveway. Our garage door opener sounds like it’s on it’slast legs. I just had and annual maintenance check on my home A/C unit which is 23 years old. The tech said he thought the fan motor bearing sounded awfully loud and said it might need to be replaced - at an estimated cost of $850 include a fan blade in case the old one won’t come off with being damaged. I don’twant to put $800+ into a 23 year old unit so I asked him to give me a quote for a new A/C unit.
He mentioned our furnace is 15 years old and I might to give want to give some consideration to replacing our 90% efficiency furnace as well. He wasn’t sure a new coil would fit into the existing furnace which is located in our crawl space and that is what prompted the discussion. I have no idea yet what the A/C alone nor replacing the whole system might cost. Suffice to say regardless of the bid(s) I know it ain’t going to be cheap.
The joys of home ownership are only outweighed by the joys of raising children !
