Thanks for the advice. I am leaning towards having a new unit put in.
Bottom line is I would rather pay the extra cash and not have problems
than to save money and have nothing but problems. Is the Tempstar a
good line? I have never heard of them. The Smart Comfort 2400 has a
SEER of 14. It has a ten year waranty on a Scroll Compressor and a 5
year no hastle warranty on all functional parts. Thanks for any advice
on the unit and please provide name brand units that are known for
dependability.

Thanks
Pat


The unit we had installed is American Standard, supposedly a division of
Trane. Knock on wood, we haven't had a bit of trouble with it *and* our
power bills for cooling are significantly lower. I believe I heard this was
one of the hottest summer seasons on record around here. We turned the AC
on sooner and left it on longer than recent previous summers. We are in
North Carolina. I'd assume our weather is comparable to Virginia?
