Got a quote today for a Trane 4 ton (replacing a 3.5 ton) XL15 outside

thinking a more fair price is $7000 but this is just based on some
brief internet reading. *

I was told that a 1/2 ton upsize is not a big deal. *In general do you
agree? *I'm guessing the a/c guy who spoke with me is correct.

I'm going to get another 1 or 2 bids but meanwhile any suggestions or

Id rather pay 10% more for a top install, where I knew everything was
planned out, sizing, ducts and everything was tested, so it would get
me the efficency and comfort I paid for. Ive had and seen to many hack
jobs. Sound like you gotta hacker for a buk.
