No decided to wait a month or two after getting the A/C system, new doors and windows installed before making a decision.
Boy I'm glad I did, my bill last month while running the A/C 24/7 at 76 degrees was $89 bucks... The unit runs more efficent than the 4 box fans I was running in each window and the bill actually went down!!!!!
Can not say enough great things about Gabrial Carini:http://www.cariniair.com/about-us/ ! He installed an absolute killer A/C system in my 1920s North Park home!

+1, if you haven't used HELOC, it's probably the best option. It's very flexible that you can pay it off anytime. In the draw period (first 10 yr normally), you only have to pay the interest if cash is tight. Also the interest payment is tax deductible using itemized deduction method.Leave a comment:

Hey Albert, Jumped up on my roof today to take a few pictures for you. Man it got dirty in a year so that's good to know if I was planning on doing Horizontal mounted panels. https://goo.gl/photos/1XrJbs5RGEL9DDJn6 Ya they seem cheaper than having Duro-Last come back out and make all kinds of punctures in my roof... Just talked with an structural engineer and he informed me that it was not recommended. My house was built in 1928...Leave a comment:

ON that note, does anyone have an advice or experience with HERO vs. HELOC? Credit score is about 840 FWIWLeave a comment:

Get a reasonable estimate of your cooling load before you choose and don't oversize the system. Properly sized systems probably produce better comfort by keeping the humidity level down better than oversized systems. Long story. Basically, they do a better job of moisture removal by running longer. Also properly sized systems, will not cycle as much. Probably less wear/tear. Starting up is tougher than running. Finally, smaller systems generally cost less to purchase and operate. Oversizing A/C is not a wise choice. It'll cost more, probably break down sooner and the house will feel "clammy" and be less comfortable.Leave a comment:
