Our 14 year old Ruud with an SEER of 12 has
rusted out and is leakng
freon. We contacted the a/c company which
installed the unit when the
house was built and they are recommending
replacing the old unit with a
Rheem 3.5 ton SEER 13 RAND042JAZ.
My concerns a
1- SEER is kinda low. Wouldn't a 14 or higher
SEER be better?
2-I don't know if this is a scroll or
reciprocating compressor. I've
read on-line that scroll is better. Is this
correct?
3-I don't know of the motor is one or two speed.
Two would be more
efficient, right?
4-I am of the opinion that this unit would use
Freon. Wouldn't a
Puron-using unit be better in the long run?
Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.
