It's time for a new water tank & HVAC system for my 65 yr old house

[Nictuku]

14. I have the same problem

The heat works, but it only blows warm air for the A/C. We had a guy come look at it ($100) to tell us that it needs Freon. The problem is that the type of Freon it requires is now illegal and you can't get it.

I think mine was installed when the house was built in the 80s.

We tried not to use it very much because it is all electric in my house, and it is very expensive. Probably 20 days out of the year when it is over 90 and we needed to turn it on for my old ma upstairs (where it is hotter in the summer). Since I don't have $17-20K to spend on this right now, I got her a smaller portable A/C unit for $300. It cools her room real nice when we need it.

Next year I am going to try to get a Reverse mortgage and at that time put solar on the roof, a new HVAC, new flooring. I'd like to do more but damn, everything is so expensive these days. I am going to want to make sure that the HVAC I get installed works with Solar.
