Don't remind me, Timbo. My HVAC exploded last weekend. So we may have x-mas without it.

Now I have to decide what to replace the HVAC with.. it's a 5 ton unit (60,000 Btu) 14 SEER split system.

Seems the "mac-daddy" two speed compressor & multispeed AHU blower is the cat's meow... but at $9,000 USD installed... yikes.

I did see the swamp cooler (styrofoam cooler & fan) setup was under $10 USD...
