We Have A/C

Lance got the new 2 1/2 ton package unit installed last night on the south end of the house. We did not run it through the night because he still needs to run duct, but it was blowing ice cold! I was in charge of buying the little wire nut cover thingies and a breaker at Lowe's last night. Needless to say, I had to return to the store because I got the wrong little wire nut cover thingies (big difference between orange, red and yellow!) and I needed a double breaker with the little "C" shaped whatsamawhosit on it. It's all quite technical.

We still need to get a coil set for the unit on the north end of the house and have it charged with freon. We will have around 7 1/2 tons total... lots of air, but we will need it once the sun room is done. It will be mostly glass, west facing and that will take us to 3,700 square feet of living space. We have been very fortunate with a long and comfortable spring. Also we installed GREAT insulation which really helps. It will get hot this weekend and we will have A/C just in time.
