I am buying a unit that is guaranteed for 10yrs parts and labor, Maytag.

You get what you pay for. Trane and Maytag offer the best warranty, with out
a pay for extented warranty.

With a seer value of 13, if you have any insulation and decent windows you
save 38% on your cooling bill.

My cooling cost here in Nebr, is about $300 per season, so I figured I'de
save about $115.00 a yr.

Havent got my natural gas summary from the utility company as of yet to
figure natural gas cost and savings,natural gas is going to go thru the roof
this winter, and stay that way for at least 43-5 yrs.

If I were you I wouldn't even think about getting a heat pump. They are
nothing but a piece of s***! I junked mine after 3 1/2 years. I had a
Carrier and it nearly ran me into the poorhouse on repairs. I wrote to
the
president of Carrier and they still would not make it good and replace it.
They screwed me once and shame on them,- screw me twice then shame on me.
Get a gas furnace (propane or natural) and you'll never be sorry! I
wouldn't have a heat pump installed, even if you gave it too me free. And
that's the facts Jack!!

SW Florida.

Are you saving any cooling and heating dollars?

What's "heating"?

Look, opinions from areas outside yours are likely useless. Get three
or more quotes, check into the reputations of the companies and ask
your friends for recommendations. Things like SEER ratings, while
arguably even a decent unit of measure, really don't apply to anything
outside your specific application. As long as each company has done
the proper analysis of your specific heating and cooling needs, you
should find similar recommendations among companies.
