Default AC Replacement - Advice from a contractor

First of all, I am an AC contractor that lives here in the villages but have no interest in giving a quote to you for replacement, just honest advice.
So, if you have the money to replace the AC before its time (major failure) and it will give you peace of mind, then by all means replace it. Peace of mind has value. Many of my customers do want to continue to hold on to their air conditioner and money and replace when needed because many are more concerned about making it comfortably through their retirement years.

I am not doing any replacements only service and maintenance due to back issues. In a couple weeks I will be evaluated by Shands in Gainesville for options and hopefully one day get back to normal.

Everyone will tell you whoever they use is the best. I have told my wife if for some reason I am unable to do work on our AC to contact Chuck Farrall or Kalos Services. Chuck is similar to me giving honest service at a very resonable cost. As of a couple days ago Chuck is not taking new customers except through a replacement.

Hope this helps you,
Mike
