Affordable Air Conditioning is Possible

Everyone has that scrappy friend in their lives who likes to use second hand items or found parts to make their lives work. They might even apply these skills to air conditioning. These people are smart and savvy with their time and money. Randall is one such smart, scrappy individual. He believes that everything could be fixed with just a little time and energy invested. And, Randall has always had a knack for finding free or cheap goods, fixing them up. Somehow he always puts them to good use. Like when he found a free lawn mower on the side of the road and picked it up and took it home. With a little tinkering and time, Randall got it to work and now his yard is looking better than ever.

But, Randall had a bigger goal than just a well-kept lawn. Randall wanted to have central air in his old Victorian home. After living in his home for years with only a couple of old window units to cool the house, Randall decided it was time for central air. But, Randall felt he simply could not afford to have an air conditioning professional install a brand new unit.

But, after thinking about it, Randall thought maybe it is possible to use a second hand condenser unit and install it himself. So, he was on the lookout for a condenser unit. It was not long before he had found a free condenser in the newspaper. So, he thought it should be a cinch to hook up the condenser unit to the furnace and in no time he would be chilling out in comfort. After all, some of the websites he found said that with a weekend and basic tools it could be done. Unfortunately this was not the case. And, after several hours of work, Randall was surprised to find that hooking up a condenser to the furnace is much more complex than he thought.

Being the scrappy individual that he is, Randall did not want to give up. He wanted air conditioning, and he wanted it to be done soon. So he did his research about what it takes in order to make it work. After doing his research, he found that this job was going to take a professional in order to get it done right. He found that though he had a condenser, air conditioning took a few more components. Randall found that he would need a v coil, commonly known as an evaporator coil, some copper tubing and some other supplies to make it work correctly.

So, he made a few calls and found an air conditioning company that would use the condenser that Randall had found in the newspaper, coupled with the other proper tools and components to install central air. After all was said and done, Randall's home was cooler than ever at an affordable price.
