Over Memorial Day weekend, our air conditioner stopped working. Fortunately, it was mostly just really humid, so it was not a huge deal to not have it working. As it turns out, the fan motor was out, and that part could be replaced. However, our HVAC unit as a whole was 21 years old and original to our house. We discussed replacement of the unit versus fixing the fan motor.
After working with Chapman Heating and Cooling, the company that has been servicing our HVAC since we lived in our old house, we decided to go with replacement. We received a low-interest loan from the City of Columbia (1% interest over three years), and Chapman installed a temporary fan motor so we would have air conditioning until the day of install. Well, tomorrow is the day. Goodbye to our tired, inefficient HVAC. You did your job, but after 21 years, you need rest.
