Swapping it out for new and sticking it in the basement INMHO was the right move. I had the similar concerns last Winter. After having a trouble call on AC each year and then a difficult repair on the heating end on a 10 YO unit, I bit then bullet and swapped everything out and slept better ever since that. New with a long warranty is nice most of the time.

No argument or preaching here, just non-judgmental musing.
I'm sitting in an air-conditioned room right now!
**Warning: About to go on a tangent:**
Naw, I was just remembering those philosophical questions: "What defines 'life'?" or "When is something alive? And somebody would always answer: "Well, does it breathe? Does it eat? Does it have a way to reproduce and multiply, etc...? If yes, than it's alive "
And then somebody else would always say: "Well what about fire, it does all that, but is it "alive"?
That got me thinking. (uh-oh!): Don't air conditioners create (a demand for)....more air conditioners. A complicated reproduction technique for sure, ...but if something has a way to reproduce....= Life!!
Ok, that is all. Hopefully my meds kick in soon!!

You're on to something there. could be the foundation of AI taking over!
Gotta go, I am going to go stock up on some freeze dried food just on case.
In all seriousness, I work from home and have my office in the basement. So during the summer time my employer gets a huge amount of work out of me because I want to stay in the basement from an up to sun down. :laughing:
My retired wife on the other hand is not impressed with 80% humidity and >90°.

I guess I could use air conditioning here - a lot do. I just enjoy turning on two big 'ol fans - on opposite ends of the house and creating a mini-tornado thru the house.
Its 95F-outside, 74F-inside, right now - Friday morning around 4:30AM it will be 46F. I turn the fans on around 8:30 at night and off around 7:30 am. Cools the house down to 68F.
Besides with that much wind blowing thru the house - it keeps the dust well distributed.

There are alternative refrigerants to replace R12 or 22, such as R290,
An older R12 system got a dose of it this spring and that cab is staying cooler then it has in many years.
Yes, R290 is also called propane.
