The heating/cooling system for my beach condo is a packaged unit that sits outside. It is a giant piece of unit that is rather old. The unit was already installed when all of us purchased our beach condo more than 2 years ago. Although it makes a lot of noise whenever it starts up, the system puts out a wonderful deal of conditioned air. For the majority of the year, all of us set it to cooling mode. It actually handles outdoor temperatures in the mid-nineties, managing to keep our condo perfectly comfortable. For the majority of our brief Winter season, the system manages to keep up with demands. If the outdoor temperature drops below 40 degrees, it struggles. We’ve had problems with the outdoor unit chilly over. Both of us finally purchased an electric heating system that is designed to look love an authentic wood stove. This supplemental heat is enough to help out the central furnace as well as keep us warm. This past summer, I observed that the condo felt warm. While there was plenty of air flowing from the vents, it felt tepid at best. I hoped that the concern was the temperature control. I tried decreasing the batters as well as making adjustments, however nothing helped. I was finally forced to schedule a repair for the heating/cooling unit. The company took the system apart as well as discovered a particularly small refrigerant leak. I was worried that I’d need to replace the whole unit. Because of its age, replacement parts are not available. The company suggested adding refrigerant, recharging it as well as hoping for the best. He said that if the leak is particularly minimal, all of us might get more than 2 for years out of the system. The cost of the refrigerant as well as toil was $250. That is much less than buying a whole new heating as well as cooling system.
