Turn in your A/Cs for $$

[labrujah]

I have two old ones I feel guilty about! So I am going to try to turn them in and get a new one.

WHEN: Saturday, July 21, 2007, 9:00 am - 3:00 pm
WHERE: McCarren Park Greenmarket, Greenpoint/Williamsburg - Lorimer St. & Driggs Ave., Brooklyn

You get $35 toward the purchase of a new Energystar A/C for an old window A/C and $100 for a through-the-wall A/C. Not bad!

Do you think 5-year-old A/Cs are too old to run (we would only run them for like 4 weeks throughout the summer tops) ? They've never been cleaned or serviced. I hate to use them like disposables. But it also seems silly to haul them around town, get vouchers, buy new ones, haul them around town, etc. to just use them for a few weeks a year. Like maybe I should trade them in next year.

Most air conditioners built after 1992 are already Energy Stars. If you use them so little, why would you buy new ones? Change the filter, that's all you need to do. They're not that expensive.
