    I put a block of ice in a shop vac and it did good for a while. Can't make ice fast enough. Second block of ice had a lot of moisture in the house, the walls were running.

    I was actually making a joke but you did try something off the wall. Why have you not gone to walmart and get a window unit that would have been the first thing I done even before I posted it on crappie.com.

    Mine was about two years away from average life span.....put freon in it two years in a row at $250 each time. My A frame coil was shot.....over 30 leaks in it. Rather than the expensive A frame replacement and freon ski high and hard to find....i went with a new central unit that uses the new stuff. Its very energy efficient and cut the power bill about 40 percent. 2000 square ft. House....new heating and cooling unit....a Carrier....installed $6000. It works great.

    If a central unit is too high priced for you.........https://www.lowes.com/search?searchTerm=window+air+conditioners. They even have them with heat.

    So, if I understand correctly. Eventually we all will have to replace the older units using refrigerant? Maybe sooner rather than later. I have been nursing this one along replacing fan motors and capacitors and it is about 12-15 years old. Maybe I should just replace.
