I am sick of lugging wall ACs and to add insult to injury the 75# monster didn't even work when I installed it and plugged it in. What I am stuck on is how to cuff the decision on investing in the house vs. making do. The house is ca. 1950 and never had central air. We have 5 wall units and a heating oil furnace that sends steam to a radiator system (for most of the house, part has hot water base boards). I suspect that a central AC system would be a lot more efficient and it looks like I would be able to grab something like $2k in tax credits and utility incentives for something with the right efficiency ratings. OTOH we will likely be in the house another ~3 years and I do not want to overinvest in the house.
Any clue what these things cost installed? How should one think about investing in the house with such a short timeframe? Other thoughts?
