Meet Frieda

Last summer it seemed like our AC unit struggled to keep the house cool.  We thought the problem was the lack of insulation and unsealed duct work.  It contributed to the problem, but in retrospect, the unit was dying a slow death.

When the first hot days this Spring were upon us, we turned on the AC.  Listening to it run and run and run, we knew.  An inspection by a local AC company confirmed my worst home owner fear - we needed a new unit.

After 4 bids, a week of sweltering and $6000 later, meet Frieda.

She is a thing of beauty.  She's quiet, cools the house off and better last for 20 years.  I'm still cringing over writing that check.  I feel like she should be christened before she goes up on the roof.

Why the name Frieda?  Because she's frigid.  Get it?  Yea, I know...blame the heat.
