Before getting an estimate I need to know if the energy savings cost
would justify buying the higher SEER


Would depend on your location and utility costs.


and do Trane and Carrier perform
about the same over the long haul?


Did you miss my first post?
It's going to depend on the installation, so hire the best qualified
company!


Does one break down more? That
sort of thing.


Yep, the one that's installed by the hack using mis-matched equipment.

It's likely that she did miss your first post, since other than your
Nemesis, Clark, there's only three people left in the entire world that
haven't killfiled you and who still actually open your posts at all.

Regardless of your knowledge, using the word "asshole" more than 7000
times in any calendar month qualifies you as an A-list curmudgeon. Many
people don't have any interest in listening to the type of **** that you
often espouse. It often lacks meaningful content, but when it does have
that, it's often phrased in such an unpleasant fashion that it actually
irritates the reader.

I'm sure you don't treat your customers that way; or you wouldn't have
any. It's odd that you find it acceptable behavior on usenet.

As to your current response, did *you* read *her* post? Both companies
are highly competent and reputable, period.
