I was checking out the new rental company Mattamy is using now for Hotwater tanks. Allianze power corp. I was checking out what tankless hot water solution they offer. Still deciding. BUT

I see on there website they offer rental air conditioning as well. Does anyone have a positive or negative story renting an AC unit? How much is it? I mean if its like the Hotwater tank, $30 month... Seems like a good deal... If its that price... lol

When we were looking to get our AC installed I did call Reliance (our hot water tank is with them). They were by far the most expensive. If I remember correctly they wanted $4500 for the AC to buy it or something like $80/month to rent. It was a couple of years ago, so I could be remembering the rental cost wrong as we really didn't have an interest in renting it.
We got our unit installed for around $2600 with a humidifier as well. Renting just didn't make sense to us.

Plus - when you want to sell your home most buyers do not like this option...

Don't do it!

Total cost is generally far greater. Buyouts if you have to sell your house are also big.
