My building's AC failed when it was supposed to be started up in May about a decade ago. The condo ended up buying a portable AC unit for each apartment -- some people were pissed because they had to pay the electricity to operate it. We asked them if they'd like us to take the unit back, and 100% of them said no. :)
It was an awful summer, but the A/C was replaced with a new modern unit, and not only was it better, but it used about half the power of the 30 year old unit.
