    Good time for it.

    I tossed in our window units yesterday, very much needed. Wife wants to get central air, but there are a number of things we need to do in order to do that, including upgrading our electric from 100 amp service. In order to upgrade electric, we need to move our well pump and radon filter, since they sit next to the current panels. It’s a mess. Going to be expensive but it’s needed.

    Almost, but not quite. :notsure:
    4th gen not doing anything for me after I looked over BILs new OR.
    I like the ZR2s, but new Chevys...hard pass.
    Just don't know what I would get.
    My AC has only 84k on the clock. Probably run it for a few more. :goingcrazy::goingcrazy:

    Mini Splits are the way to fly.
    Got the new place done last year.

    Would have been a nightmare running ductwork in this place.

    We have forced hot air, so ductwork is in place. However, it may need to be upscaled since central air units push much more volume than furnaces. If I remember correctly, most air handlers that do both heating and air conditioning have dual speeds due to the volume requirements for air conditioning.

    I like the 4th gen’s but not the price. Would probably get a base model 4-door.

    Same. I need bed length not seats. I took the AC back seats out the week I bought mine.
    Though with 62K miles I don't expect to be in the market anytime soon.
