I recently decided to take advantage of rising home prices and sell my house.
I am hoping to sell now when prices are high, continue renting for a while, and then buy again when the prices fall again, as they invariably will.
Well, I have more than one aged window units that do not sit in windows at my house. They were installed into the exterior walls of the house numerous years ago, and they have reMained there, unused, even though the house has had central heating and cooling for about 3 decades now. I never saw the need to get rid of the window units, and in fact, they occasionally came in handy when I needed to get the Heating and A/C method tested or it was 110 degrees outside and the proper needed a little help. But the realtor says I must get rid of them because it makes clients wonder if the central heating and cooling method is insufficient or unreliable. Since neither is true, I think I need to say goodbye to my window a/cs, and that means saying goodbye to the holes in the walls, as well. I never genuinely wanted to bother with the units because I didn’t want to have to bother with the resultant holes, although I think I just have to at this point. I am trying to decide if I should just fill them in with more wall material or if I should turn them into windows. They are localed genuinely high on the walls, so windows might look a bit odd. In any event, I will miss the little window a/cs.
