Where to buy a big A/C unit?

We're in a new spot and need a big window unit. Anyone work for a supplier or retailer that can hook a Ford guy up?

Looking for a 230volt/20 amp unit that is at least 20,000 BTUs.

If money is in a pinch then look in paper adds. People sell great condition for nothing these days! Papershop, Craigslist, local paper...........

You could also look into a ductless unit. They are around 1,500+ for a 2400 btu, but they run quieter, more efficent, and very easy to install. All you have to do is run the elecrical, thermostat wires, and drill a hole from the inside to outside! These perform awesome since they sit so high on the wall and has moving louvers. Pm me if you have any questions, since I have installed hundreds of them!

They are 13 seer and qualify for some gov thing at tax time. I just paid $1098 for the 24K unit at the local Greenberg supply in Wilmington. Took me about 2 hours to install and get running. Here is a link to the one i got incase you never seen em. they are the MINI SPLIT system.
