Looking to pickup A/C unit ahead of summer. Is it a good time to buy now or any upcoming potential deals anyone knows of? Looking to just buy from Costco for peace of mind as their warranties overall is exceptional. Looking at a Delonghi from Costco for around $600ish.

I just ordered another Danby from Costco. I was tempted to try the Delonghi but not many reviews online on that one.

Anyone do annual maintenance checks on their central AC? Never had it before and it seems like DIY stuff suggest vaccum and check for damaged wires.

Is hiring a professional needed?

Ac maintenance is like car maintenance

You can do the bare minimum, and pay the premium when stuff breaks.
Or you can be pro active and have a healthy unit while everyone else is panicking mid summer finding someone to do the work.

If you have a quality unit, it has built in safeties, and can be "run into the ground" with cheaper repair bills.
If you have a cheap unit, it will probably not have shit in it, and eventually cost lots down the road.

Ex. Cheap units don't have low pressure cut outs, compressors end up cooking them selves when low on charge, costing you about 1.5k+ for repairs.
This can be avoided by an annual check up that will probably cost you 300$

If your gonna DIY,
-Keep the indoor air filter clean / replace as needed.
-Clean the condenser coil, this will also reduce energy bills upwards of 50%. (Chemical clean with unit off)
-On a 20C+ day, run the unit for 20 minutes, go outside, grab the thicker of the two copper lines, it should be cold. If it's not, I would suggest bringing someone out.
-Visual for electrical only, I don't even suggest taking off covers unless your highly mechanically inclined

Thought they said this was going to be a hot summer based on the farmer's almanac?

Thus far it doesn't appear so. Fuck.

It was like this last year too though wasn’t it? Super late running winter then hot like a light switch was flipped. Either way it sucked. Constant rain so you don’t want to be outside to a fucking sauna.

Can’t get the heatwave without the fires. Especially since all this rain has overgrown the vegetation making it ripe for the perfect kindling. Expect us to get absolutely FUCKED this year if it doesn’t keep raining.

Do you go outside? Cause you’d just end up like a towel that was dropped in a pool after 5 mins outside.

As long as the rain isn't coming down hard, I am also really enjoying this weather too. It is just so comfortable and easy to dress for.

Yeah I’m going through a very annoying cycle where I click the heat on at night, turn it off in the morning. The afternoon is uncomfortable warm, then it gets freezing again. Feel like I’m taking crazy pills

I mean if I'm going to spend a lot of time in the rain I'll dress accordingly but there's been multiple times in the day lately where the rain has stopped I don't know what everyone is complaining about, it's not like it's been a 24/7 monsoon out there.

It's been very monsoony this April/May.

Heavy/loud tropical-style rain every morning and early evening.

I hate it but it sure is nice to listen to when I'm half awake.
