New compressor time, but wait, the new compressor for this unit won't be compatible if my 17 year old air handler takes a dump. So that could be $3500 down the tubes. So, makes sense to replace it all. Burned up the yearly renovation budget within the second week of the year.
So I have a new 20 seer variable speed 5 ton unit on order. Not sure when they can get it, inventory is low due to plant shut downs due to Covid. Happy New Year. Better to get it done before I retire.

Wow! I'm still running two 12 seer 3 ton, only one speed a/c's that are almost 25 years old. 20 seer? That must be friggen' efficient as heck. You should expect to see some energy savings out of that this Summer.
