🌸 ¡Hola! ¡Hola! 🌸
NOS COMPRAMOS EL AIRE ACONDICIONADO PARA NUESTRO HOGAR
My dearest loves, 2026 has been a year of great changes, and since I have this space to share them, get comfortable and grab your blanket because: WE BOUGHT AN AIR CONDITIONER FOR OUR HOME.
To sum it up, my first air conditioner was 18,000 BTU; we bought it when we moved and it's been with us since 2020. It was new and cooled very well, but due to power outages and the fact that it was the only air conditioner in my house to cool everything, its cooling power and intensity started decreasing in January, so we were already planning to replace it. The window unit seemed to know we wanted to replace it, because its cooling performance diminished every day, and we had to move up our plans to buy the new one, anticipating that one day, when the power came back on, the unit wouldn't turn on 🙃.
I started my search by looking for stores that accepted Cashea because I could pay the down payment and then pay the balance in manageable installments. There are also other stores that offer their own financing options, so I kept checking them out; always looking for more alternatives and to save money. The prices weren't very encouraging because a window air conditioner to replace the old one cost $400 ☹️. The problem was that the air conditioners I found didn't fit the space I already had at home, and I would have to make some modifications. Plus, my J.J., always so forward-thinking, convinced me of several factors:
I had to break down the wall and buy another iron guard for the new air conditioner.
Since it was an 18,000 BTU unit, it was possible that in a few years it would start to fail like the old one.
Besides, we already knew that capacity wasn't enough for my house, because it stayed cool, but not cold, and considering the sweltering heat that's hitting my area, I had to buy several air conditioners to actually cool everything.
Debía romper la pared y comprar otro protector de hierro para el aire nuevo.
Al ser de 18000, podía pasar que en varios años, comenzara a fallar como el anterior.
Además, ya sabíamos que esa capacidad era insuficiente para mi casa, porque se mantenía fresca, pero no fría, y contando el calor sofocante que está azotando mi zona, debía comprar varios aires para cumplir con la función de enfriar verdaderamente todo.
¿La solución?
Comprar un aire split de 24000 BTU.
The solution? Buy a 24,000 BTU split air conditioner. My previous search was no longer relevant, so I started looking for those specifications in stores, where the prices were higher; some exceeded $600. I went to DAKA based on a recommendation from my neighbor and social media, although I wasn't entirely convinced because they didn't offer credit. It turned out they had 24,000 BTU split air conditioners on sale; it was like a promotion tailored just for me 😎. The salesperson explained that the other 18,000 BTU units cost more than $500, but the 24,000 BTU ones were $395 if paid in foreign currency. I didn't quite understand the promotion, but I knew I wouldn't find it at a competitive price anywhere else.
I went to ask on Saturday morning, and when I decided to go back in the afternoon, they no longer had the one I wanted ☹️. There was one on display, and after talking to the salesperson (who was a different one than the one I'd met in the morning) and asking to speak to a supervisor (because the salesperson kept insisting I get a different one), he finally gave in and started the sales process. One of the advantages DAKA offers is delivery. The salesperson tried to make it difficult, but I calmly accepted the conditions. It turns out the delivery people were very kind, bringing it right to my living room, so I think the problem was with the salesperson; now I think he wanted it for himself 😆. As for the air conditioner, it's a Daewoo brand, very well-known in my country; it's quiet, energy-efficient, and the remote control has various functions like cooling, fan, automatic shut-off, and others I haven't even used yet.
The good thing is that my brother is a refrigeration technician and he was in charge of installing it in my home. The process took about 3 hours and immediately my home changed to a comfortable temperature, just as we had wanted.
¿RESULTADOS?
RESULTS? AMAZING! My quality of life has improved significantly because I no longer suffer from the lack of air conditioning at midnight, which used to leave me waking up sweltering. Plus, the new unit's placement covers my entire home, but its airflow isn't obstructed like the old one was. Unfortunately, it does shut off frequently due to power outages, but within minutes, my home cools down and the unpleasant heat is forgotten 😉. Now, I need to remove the old unit, seal the opening, take off the protective cover, paint, and rearrange my furniture to better fit my new one 💯. But, aside from that, I'm very happy with all the progress I've made and hope to share more improvements I've made to my home with you soon 😊.
