"HeyBub" wrote in message new system. The
system you have is 17 years old and you will spend a
lot for some used unit.

$750 vs. ~$1700. Just for the condensing unit.

YOu can either spend that money now or in a few years spend the money for a
new unit. Don't just get the condensing unit, but a whole new matching
system. You probably will save money on the power in the long run to make
up the differance. Just plan on spending around $ 5000 for whole new
system.

If you are planning on moving out in a few years, then it may pay you to do
just a patch job.
