We budgeted and saved $5,000 but depending on what kind of a system we decide on it could cost much more. And, I know soon we will need to replace the windows, the roof, the appliances, etc. Ugh! We NEED to get all our debt paid off so that we can begin to save for these inevitable expenses!<BR/><BR/>I never heard of the 1% rule - thanks for sharing. And good luck! :)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09426442791606582119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506281235722645086.post-37291067819782630562008-08-21T21:22:00.000-04:002008-08-21T21:22:00.000-04:00Oy.

All I can say is price check.<BR/><BR/>I just, and I mean just, paid for a 5 Ton A/C Unit at my COMMERCIAL Property. It cost me under $3600. I find it highly unlikely that yours would be $5 for your home. <BR/><BR/>Most homes use a 3 -3.5 Ton unit. I have 2600 SQ FT and a 3.5 High Efficency A/C.

Nice thing about living in the Pacific NW is that we mostly don't DO weather. We just had three 100+ days in a row, and you would've thought the world crashed and global warming landed in our back yard! But never mind, we're back to 76 degrees today. I only have one air conditioner--in my upstairs bedroom.Grace.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03557395027685855901noreply@blogger.com
