Older units
My air conditioning electric usage is very reasonable. If my unit is keeping me comfortable, with no service calls, and very reasonable electric usage; I’m happy. Money not spent on maintenance, or expensive service calls is money in my pocket. If It ain’t broke, I don’t replace it. Believe me, I’ve seen many people put out big money for the latest, greatest systems to be disheartened later from breakdowns, and full of cognitive dissonance. I recommend people purchase a good solid middle of the road unit. Not the builder models, not the trophy units, but the middle of the road units with good SEER rating with low decibel rating for noise. Also, get 3 or 4 estimates and buy from the contractor you are comfortable with, and feel like he will be there for you in the future.
