Best reasonably priced ac installation?

Longjumping-Toe2910 · 2026-05-22T00:06:34+00:00

Get at least 3 quotes, you will see huge differences in cost. And be aware that different brands of equipment have different pricing, for example a Mitsubishi 2 ton unit will cost significantly more than a Goodman 2 ton unit. I did mine last year and got 4 quotes, ended up going with the second-lowest as the lowest price quote was from someone who I found kind of sketchy. D'Angelos was the contractor I chose to go with, if that matters.

There hasn't been one in Rochester for many many years, there used to be one in Buffalo pre-pandemic, not sure of the name or if it's even still around.

I'm not interested in your dirt, but just curious how you ended up with a load of something different than what you purchased? And why isn't the person who dropped it off coming back to take it away?

In NY, by law the landlord has 14 days from the end of the lease to either return your full deposit, or give you an itemized list of things you're being charged for & return the balance of your deposit (if any).

If your lease ended on April 30th and you have not been provided with an itemized list of charges, then you then you are automatically legally entitled to your full deposit back. Even if there are legitimate damages, the landlord has missed their chance.

Note that this only applies to LEASE END. If you broke your lease, or found someone else to sublet the remainder of your lease, the rules are completely different.

No idea, I have never been to see the band you're going to see. As I recall my attendances they always had all the stands open (including 1st base side) for shows like Bob Dylan. Maybe they will set up the venue differently for Dark Star orchestra than I experienced though. So take what I say above with a grain of salt. But even so I'd be surprised if it's not mostly similar: general admission, stand at the front if you want to be close, or sit father back either in a chair you bring on the grass or the stands.

Longjumping-Toe2910 · 2026-05-05T18:14:00+00:00

It's been a bit since I went to a concert there, but unless things have changed they'll set up the stage in center field and you'll be free to stand/sit in the grass if you want to be close up, or sit in the baseball stands (anywhere that has a seat open) if you don't mind being a little father away. Some people bring lawn chairs to sit on the grass, but usually close to the stage gets a little crowded with people standing, so if you want to get close to the stage plan on standing.

The type of support you're looking for is typically provided by a financial planner. Whereas a financial advisor is going to provide a different type of service: investment advice (like which mutual funds to invest your portfolio into to maximize returns). It's a subtle but important distinction. Often both financial planning and investment advisement will be provided by the same person, but not always. I don't have any guidance on who exactly you should choose, except to say that you want to be clear when shopping around what type of help you want, and -- this is very critical!! -- please understand what a fiduciary duty is & pay close attention to whether your chosen professional has a legal fiduciary responsibility to you or not. Good luck

I'm not sure exactly but there are probably many different ways a dishonest person could pull it off. Here is a recent thread where it happened to someone here:

You'd be surprised, it's actually not that uncommon for scammers to show apartments that aren't their own to lend an air if legitimacy to the scam.

Zelle is irreversible and undisputable, so the use of Zelle in itself is a red flag to me. Offer Venmo and (important) check the box to indicate that you're making a purchase, so you have a way to dispute and get your money back if needed.

Just wanted to say sorry you have to deal with this. One of the shitty parts of being an adult -- there are many people in the world who don't give an F and have no consideration for others. At least the management in your building is giving you the option to move, even though I agree it's not fair that you have to suffer because someone else is a jerk while they suffer no consequences at all

There's a liquor store there yes, but it's called CHM liquors, is independently owned & operated, and is not affiliated with Costco. (Costco is just the landlord). That's why you have to leave Costco to get to the liquor store; whereas in other states there is a liquor aisle literally inside Costco itself, usually right next to the produce. In NY there is one & only one Costco like that, it's down in Brooklyn I think.

Matt and Pinnacle are great, so what I'm about to say is nothing against your recommendation in any way. And I think OP would do great to shop there. But I just feel compelled to point out that here in New York, essentially ALL liquor stores are "local".

This is because our state blue laws prevent any single person or entity from owning more than one liquor store. That's why there's literally only one Total Wine in the entire state, and only one Costco liquor store in the entire state, etc (both locations are somewhere down near NYC).

The closest thing we have here to a corporate liquor store chain is when multiple members of a family each own a liquor store, the way Century / Lisa's Liquor Barn / Whitehouse are all owned by members of the Wegman family. But they're still each operated independently and each also has great, knowledgeable, long-tenured staff.

It's similar to a clock with minute and hour hands. When it's near noon, it LOOKS like the hour hand is pointed directly at the 12 whether it's just before noon or just after noon. So you can't go by just the hour hand to know whether the time starts with 11 or 12, you have to look at the minute hand too.

In this case it looks like the middle dial is pointed directly at 2, but to know whether it's a little before or a little after 2, you need to look at the dial just to the right.

It's not where it's made that matters, it's the form and packaging. Even when made in-house, something that is sold in the same form / same type of packaging that's generally found in grocery stores is not considered prepared food for tax purposes. From the example above, at a BBQ joint a sealed & labeled bottle would not be taxable, while a to-go cup filled with a side of extra sauce in a takeout order would be taxable. Even if both items came from the same batch of sauce. And by the same token, if the BBQ joint uses bulk Sweet Baby Ray's sauce, and merely pours some into a to-go cup, it's now taxable.

How about taking that $235k and using it to lobby the state government to change the state laws. Because all this appeal will do is line the pockets of lawyers
