Background ;
We purchased a house last Nov. on the initial home inspection was told even tho HVAC system is original House built in 1984 . is working ok.
Dec, Jan, Feb electric bill abit on the high side.
July , August Sept was High !
Had a couple local HVAC companies come out and look the system over and give me quotes on updating the system.
One was talking about the mini split systems and I talked with Terry here on it , but can't get past the hugh mini split unit heads hanging off the walls.
House is 1389 sq ft. single story.
One quote is using Carrier.
Carrier Performance Series Two Stage Heat Pump 16 SEER , 9 HSPF model #25HCB636A003 (2.5 to 3 Ton /ARI #9156147)
Carrier Performance Up flow / Down flow Air Handler Model #FV4CNF002L00 (17" Wide)
The guy kept talking about the Carrier Scroll Compressor ?
Using old ducting in place, ( repair, seal and test ) with new ducting connections to new system.
Using my old Smart Thermostat.
Quote is $11,486 Our local Smud electric comp. is offering a $1,500 rebate so total cost would be $9,986.
Other quote is a Train System .
I can't find the paper work showing what models at this time , but quote was at $12,900 . Less the $1,500 rebate
would be $11,400 it included all new ducting tho.
Not sure which system would be better Carrier or Train ?
Or is there a better brand option ?
Are these quotes too high ? average ? or ?
Thanks for any advice , input and or recommendations .
