Are you sure old ACs actually worked better, or are you just remembering a time from your childhood when climate change wasn’t as bad and summers were cooler?
And houses were smaller. And electricity cheaper.
I've seen frost blow out of older air-conditioning units they would run so cold.....
I’ve seen that happen to newer ones. They still freeze up around here if you run them all the time.
I'm not talking freezing up I'm talking putting out 30 degree air after running for 15 minutes.... Good job trying to down play the efficiency loss we suffered moving away from horrible refrigerants. We are better for it but the change In Refrigerants was the biggest cause of difference.
Hell i have had snow flakes in a car with older r12 and full on Florida humidity.
Oh this is just a funny honey bunny. But the one I had did last 20 years.
