As someone who lives in a border county (San Bernardino does border Nevada even if I live closer to Colton than Primm) aren't you guys on like the edge of having your balls frozen off? Nevada is mostly mountains and highland desert meaning hot as ass summers and cold as shit winters.
Northern Nevada can get pretty frosty. I remember seeing -14f there on a particularly cold morning. I'm in Southern NV now, and it was around 90f yesterday. Overnight lows are barely getting under 70f still. Coldest I've ever seen here is around 28f, and I can't remember the last time it even got to freezing.
Then I guess I'm never replacing mine. It's not like HVAC technology has advanced much in the past 100 years, beyond the switch to R-134A from Freon. Most tech advancements are made on the thermostat-end. The system itself is ridiculously simple; usually just 3-4 wires (A/C on/off, Heat on/off, fan on/off, and sometimes a separate power wire).
You said exactly what I was thinking. Took the words right out of my mouth. I couldn't have said it better myself (though I would have, had you not already so eloquently captured the sentiment that needed to be captured).
Idk if I prefer spam emails or this, both are not environmentally friendly, maybe emails take less electricity, idk, but seeing mail ads feel less intrusive than most ad delivery methods used today.

Starting at 8 grand?? Seems pricey and I live in a place with expensive labour
bitchkat@lemmy.world · 46 pts · 347d
It says equipment starts at $8k. No mention of labor.
usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca · 12 pts · 347d
Which is even worse, as I'd expect it to be half that installed

Upbubpbubpbup! $7,999 and only valid if you have this giant tacky coupon with you 🤣

Summer is ending up here in the Northern hemisphere, so I'm going with this being in New Zealand, which makes it about $4600 US.
deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz · 20 pts · 347d
An ad in NZ would be in ºC that "75" looks suspiciously ºF.
We'd also more likely call it a "heat pump" rather than "A/C".
Though $8000 does sound about right for South Pacific Pesos.
Also, OP said in another comment that it's US.

Nope, Nevada. One of the other mildly infuriating things about this flier.

I got stuck in a blizzard up in northern Nevada a bit south of Blackjack, was a right shitshow.

Still crazy. Airconditioning is dirt cheap these days - a small bedroom aircon is like 300-400 usd these days.

AC replacements typically run 15-20K for a decent system, install and all. At least last time I had to check.

Heat pumps are the way to go. Or conditioning air with well water temps or ground temps other ways, 50 degrees year round 6 feet down usually.

I think a/c is mostly (entirely?) a north-american naming convention. It's been "aircon" in the other places I've lived in traveled.

I believe the polite way to ask this in their culture is, "Do you come from the land down under?"
Perspectivist@feddit.uk · 32 pts · 347d
My split AC unit cost me 1350€ with installation. 8k USD is ridiculous.
SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 346d
It’s probably for an HVAC system that runs trough the entire building. Not just a unit that cools one room.
zqps@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 346d
"starting at" and the thing in the front is a simple unit that shouldn't cost you more than 2k.
UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 346d
Yeah mine was like 10k but it's for central heating.
SirQuack@feddit.nl · 4 pts · 347d
My dual head split ac (is that correct? Two indoor units, one outdoor) was 2000 eur with installation.
That price is truly ridiculous, but maybe they'll make a typo in the final invoice in your favour.
jordanlund@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 347d
We bid ours out to four different vendors, lowest was $8K, highest was $13K.
