Central A.C. Heck yeah.

So I wrote forever ago about how hard it was to decide how to go about getting our HVAC overhauled. We finally made a decision and scheduled a date to get our new system installed.

Tah dah!


OK, I know that doesn't look exciting. But this is what we had done:
- One furnace from 1973 removed.
- One small, lower end furnace from 2003 removed.
- Piles of old ductwork removed.
- Lots of new ductwork added throughout the house.
- One brand new 95% efficient furnace added.
- One brand new central A.C. system added (we were using window units before).
- One brand new full-house humidifier added.
- One brand new full-house air cleaner added.
- One super high tech zoning system added, allowing us to independently program and set the temperatures of the first floor and combined 2nd/3rd floors.
- One large dent in checkbook.

But it was totally worth it for the air alone. We are all much more comfortable. I'm also hoping for some improved comfort this winter since the furnace is so much more efficient. Maybe the thermostat can be set to "frugally chilly" instead of "cheapskate frigid".
