Thinking of a new AC?

If replacing the AC, check our models that have a heat coil or a heat pump in the unit. cost more, but worth it in my opinion.

Thanks folks... looks like you may hvae save me a chunk of $$. Will clean unit this weekend!! :)

Before you make the jump to a new one here is a simple test to see how the one you have is doing. Stick a thermometer in the air inlet while it is running for a few minutes and get a reading. Then do the same where the cooled air comes out of it. There should be 15-20 degrees difference between the inlet and outlet. If it is in that range a new one may not be much better.

Here is aZero Dollar Tune-Up that may very well restore your A/C's performance. It did for me, on a Coleman Mach A/C that was much older than yours. Went form "A/C Shopping" to "This is Cool." I recently did it on our Mach+ which is a 15000 unit. In that case the Condenser (the Cooling Coil) was not as dirty as the old unit, but it still helped.
