[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You build up a nest egg to address the breakages as they come?

The air conditioning for us is the really big one, because we still use the old coolant, and we have been told that when our A/C breaks down, we will need to replace all the ducts to be able to use the new coolant. Ouch.[/b]

The other appliances are comparatively significantly cheaper. We're considering a mattress from IKEA. Their top of the line is decent.[/quote]

That is nonsense, so please make sure to get a second opinion from a trust HVAC person before doing this![/quote]

+1. You do not need to replace all the ducts! We had to enlarge a return but that was it. [/quote]

Thanks, I will. [b]I'm sorry, I didn't meant ducts, I meant piping.[/b] Apparently the new coolant operates under higher pressure, and our old piping that was enough for the old coolant and its pressure cannot withstand higher pressures. But we will check with several contractors.

Just bumping this because OP corrected themselves. It’s not the ducts, it’s the piping (refrigerant lines). We did the same last time we had AC replaced as new refrigerant required new lines. [/quote]
