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?


I guess it comes down to whom you trust: someone who makes stuff up from
second-had ass droppings or an old AC guy.

Gee, let me think...
