3+4 ton compressor

energy efficient system, rebate from your state?? where am i supposed to get that from?

best AC brands?

Answer 1

I've found American Standard to be superior in a number of ways.Keep in mind,regardless of the make ,things go out and parts need replacing on all units.Installation practices have much to do with it.

4 ton 14 SEER in and out, around 8000$

Answer 2

Two things to keep in mind.

SEER rating is a rating of efficiency. All the new units are 13 SEER and up. There are still a lot of 10 SEER units out there. If you buy one it is already obsolete.

Refrigerant; R-22 refrigerant is not going to be produced after 2010 and it will get more expensive as time goes on. If you plan on living in this house for more than a few years, get a unit that uses R-410

Answer 3

You give no answers to very important questions, call your local contractors they should give free estimates on new systems, get three bids and go from there. We do not have crystal balls! My 2350sf house has 5 ton system

Answer 4

The cost will vary greatly for region to region. Price also depends on if you have a gas furnace or if you have an electric air handler and what seer rating you are interested in. If you will post the answers to those questions I could tell you what we would charge in my area of Texas. It would at least get you a ballpark figure.

Edit: A 4 ton, 14 seer, Comfortmaker w/ R410-a $4100.00

A 4 ton, 13 seer, Comfortmaker w/R-22 $3700.00.
