I know A/Cs are not cheap... but you hope to get 10-15 years out of a new unit... and it might save you a bit of electricity cost depending on how old the one being replaced is... given the newer ones are much more energy efficient.

no, the lines overfilled and that lead to build up and possible crack/damage. The integrity is gone. Our house is 12 yrs old, so the central air system is also as old. The original efficiency rating is a Seer 8, which is now being replaced by a Seer 16.5 which means our energy bill should be about half that now. We'll see, but that depends if we stay in our current home for another 10 yrs to realize a savings.
