Mine has been completely refurbished, one part at a time as they failed.

My glassed in lanai is open to the house and has AC running to it. Even with double paned windows, I usually have to run a fan to feel cool in there. If you want to avoid various extra costs, I would just have fans to cool you off in there and keep it closed off to the house if your wife can stand it!

I understand your concern. Unfortunately, our breakdown happened at the height of Covid. Parts were scarce. No one had the parts in the area, so we waited.
