And how old is the unit???

18 years

Is the ducting adequite for the extra ton???

No going to increase the tonnage, just replace what's there. I was merely
stating that when initially putting in a unit, I would opt for slightly
oversized rather than marginal. Please reread following sentence.


We're replacing this compressor with another five,

Why did the compressor go???

The fan motor seized, and the renters just kept turning the thermostat down
instead of alerting me of a problem. Thus, the compressor ran 24/7 for two
weeks.

I'd sure want to know why before I spent money on the replacement.

Sometimes, **** just happens. Tekkie said it was 95% old age and 5% renter
stupidity.


Is your ducting adequite for the 5-ton unit???

Has been since the unit was originally installed.
