We just got a heat pump installed at my house (I'm home from college for the Summer) so Dad wanted to throw out our 25 year old (still works perfectly, I might add) A\C window unit. It's rated at 28,000 BTU and runs on a 220v outlet!! This thing's heeaaavvyyy too. The LRA rating is 74 on the compressor. I'm new to phase-change cooling, and I was really wanting to do a DIY, but I think this compressor might be a bit too hardcore for me, requiring the only 220v outlet in our house (not in my room, either). It's pretty nasty too.....it needs a cleanup of magnitude unheard of in this universe. Its out on the front porch now. Should I tell Dad to go ahead and can it or not?
