I'm told a 16-SEER unit is in the neighborhood of 35% more efficient than
traditional models. In your case, assuming 80% of your $350 is for AC, that
means a savings of (mumble-mumble, carry the three...) about $100/month, or
(assuming AC 6 months/year), about $600/year in savings. Compared to $1000
repair, the additional $3500 translates to a six-year payback.

Feel free to adjust the numbers accordingly.



Feel free to make stuff up since that is what you have done. Whoever
told you these figures pulled them out of their ass. Did someone even
take into your duct work and ho airflo effects everything?
