Photo #210: The New Kids

At 8:15 this morning, the men from Loziers arrived to install my new furnace and central air conditioner. My old furnace and air conditioner were senior citizens in the heating and cooling world, and after forty years, they were removed from the house today. Everything is up and running, and the house is so comfortable. Meet the new kids; my new Lennox energy efficient air conditioner and furnace. After the last two weeks of living without air conditioning, I couldn't be happier . . . . . ka-ching . $. $.$.$. broke, but happy!

This is what a 41 year old furnace looks like. This guy was made in 1969, and he was installed in 1970, when this house was built. This is his last night in the old house. He is leaving tomorrow. along with the central air conditioner, which died recently. The AC was also installed when the house was built. By this time tomorrow, we will, hopefully, have a brand new Lennox furnace and central air conditioning unit. It is just in time, because yesterday was an extremely hot and miserable day and night, and the dogs and I can't take much more. Once my house is cooled off, I may never leave again.

My air conditioner gave up the ghost ten days ago. It was on a day that was 95 degrees with a heat index of 105. Today it only got to 92 degrees, but let me tell you, it is hot in this house. The air conditioner cannot be fixed. It is the original air conditioner that was installed when this house was built in 1970. So I am collecting estimates to replace the central air and the furnace, which is also 40 years old. With the house this hot, I can think of little else.
