You are forgetting electric blower consumption, an old unit may take 450
watts on low, mine did, my new unit takes 325, and a VS unit can take
200 or less.

Most are much less, particularly if DC....

You will increase AC seer by 1 with a new VS unit and save
winter and summer on electricity, Now payback is a new calculation of
much less time.


Incorrect. You can loose SEER ratings unless the entire system is set up,
and MATCHED. You start throwing VS motors on units and unless its been
correctly set up , all kinds of things can start to happen.
