That's great, I changed out my HVAC five years ago to the tune of 12 grand and my bill went down 30-40%
If people are still repairing 20 yo systems, maybe they should bite the bullet and upgrade.It starts paying you back every month

In the long-term, the pools are not as hot, because US maximum temperatures have been decreasing - not increasing like the media claims.

Careful! We are not as young and healthy as our minds sometimes believe. You can easily get heat exhaustion. It may be better to walk in circles around the rec centers. There are picnic tables to rest and pace yourself. Also, many people nearby if something should happen. A neighbor is a paramedic. He told us this is his busy season. Many old folks pushing their limit.

Just a friendly warning not a scolding. I would hate to see you injured. The heat can be more wicked than you imagine.
