Not much saddened me more in my former life as a Warners Stellian store receptionist than the summer gamblers whod just run out on their luck. Because everyone in town had just run out of window air conditioners.
Sweaty and restless (drowning in sweat makes it hard to breathe at night), the poor souls stumbled in and asked where our air conditioning wasas if I couldnt tell what they were going to be shopping for on a mercury-busting, 90something-degree day.
And Id have to break the news to them that their neighbors had beat them to the punch, and our stock was sold out.
Warners Stellian generally stocks so many window air conditioners that were last to sell among our competitors, but it happens every year, no fail.
Stores that carry ACs typically sell out of most sizes by early to mid-July, but it looks like stock will be gone even earlier this year. Most retailers selling air conditioning units werent shipped the full amount of units they tried to buy. Thankfully, we got 100% of our order even though we bought more than last year.
But supplies are limited. Window air conditioners are a seasonal item, and theres only so many of them. Once theyre gone, theyre gone.
Im not hating on the thrifty people. I buy generic Ultrabright toothpaste. I wait to see if my traffic ticket will pay itselfI get it.
But dont gamble on this one. You wont win. You dont have to buy your air conditioner from us, but you should buy one before theyre gone. Dont wait to find out when that is.
If youre waiting till you have help to install it, good news! You dont have to be indebted to your neighbor/brother/dad/handyman. Check out our AC service plan.
