extreme cold weather we had a couple of years ago. (Since then I've learned that most car parts - even the chrome ones - are plastic) Cost for a replacement plastic handle was $60+ plus changing it out. While I thought of ordering one from the dealer, I used some Gorilla glue (just a small dab) on the broken handle. 1 1/2 years later and the handle is still working fine. So - try some Gorilla glue. Cheap, easy, and it will only take a short time to find out if this will provide the fix you need. (Then get covers made for future protection from the elements)

of HVAC units. If you find a unit and like the price, you can then contact a HVAC contractor for pricing to install (and warranty the work) or as I have done, check places like craigslist for competent installers. When looking for an installer be sure to ask for references (and verify them) and above all - get a written bid and warranty for the installation.

$2100 for a 36,000 btuh unit. Great resource for HVAC.
