So, I get this flyer in the mail for an AC inspection and such.
Guy comes out, pokes around and a bit later the wife comes into my office to get me. I'm thinking, oh shit...
And yep. The air handler is trashed. I wondered why it was laboring. Now I know. Full of growth and icky things.
So, new air handler, new AC unit, full on duct cleaning/sanitizing/sealing, R30 insulation in the attic.
It was cheaper to go new rather than replace parts. Plus, this comes with a 10 year warranty on parts and labor. It's a Champion system.
Another expense I did not expect right now. Damn.
