My a/c units, after two summers, are getting noisy, rattly, groany, and loud.

I don't want to replace them but I can't imagine putting up with the racket next summer.

Responses:

Are they window units? They should last at least 5 years - amoxy Sep 2, 07:57 8
- Yeah, we have some in rentals and we estimate 5 years for them. -- nm - Spawn Sep 2, 08:01

    - "Can you get a bigger unit into my area?" -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 2, 08:06 4
      - "We will first have to make sure it fits in the hole." -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 08:07 3
        
        "If it's too tight can't you just pound harder?" -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 2, 08:11 2
        
        "it is possible to damage the unit, but if you do not mind some minor blemishes on it....." -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 08:14 1
        
        "Let's rub down your unit with baby oil and I'm sure it will slide right in nice and smooth." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 2, 08:18
now would be a great time, as they all should be going on sale. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 07:49
do you own them, or do they belong to the landlord? -- nm - colin Sep 2, 07:49 9
- I bought them. -- nm - ty97 Sep 2, 07:49 8
  - They usually last a bit longer than that. -- nm - Spawn Sep 2, 07:49 7
    - They work fine still. They are just getting noisy. - ty97 Sep 2, 07:50 6
      - yeah, one I had (a portable one) only made it 2 years.The rattle was unbearable. I had to replace it this summer. -- nm - decline Sep 2, 07:52 1
        
        Yeah, I mean they were cheap enough. And I could probably get away with only replacing the bedroom for now. - ty97 Sep 2, 07:56
      - call the mfg and see if they have a solution. -- nm - colin Sep 2, 07:51 3

        heh, I had already read the repsonse that groiny made in that same voice. -- nm - Spawn Sep 2, 07:54
        
        I got a small one for my sons room that was 89 bucks at Target. - groiny Sep 2, 07:54
