I'm in the market for a new HVAC system. I've noticed that the higher
SEER units jump dramatically in price going from 10 SEER to 12 to 14.
10-12 is an 85% increase. 12-14 is about %50 increase. I've also been
told that the 12+ SEERs have "variable" (valve can open/close to change
the pressure gradient) expansion valves. Lastly, these "variable"
expansion valves are prone to failure and frequent servicing.
Is this true


This is Turtle.

First I'm not good at Per cents as tring to judge prices because of too many
veriable in the per cent game. Now do looking at the % that you stated here.
They just seem just too high to be called fair. Now for a look at a price
difference of a hvac system usely in 6 different brands I sell here is the price
for a give tonage, type and seer but all three prices is for the same everything
but change the seer rating. I'm looking at the wholesale price sheets and get my
Retail bid prices from them.

10 SEER Same set type system ------------------ $3,200.00 .
12 SEER Same set type system ------------------ $3,950.00 .
14 SEER Same set type system ------------------ $4,725.00 .

These prices are from a bid sheet that I just turned in to a customer and the
profit from the 10 , 12, and 14 seer bits installed are all the same. I make the
same money off the 10 , 12, or the 14 seer and don't care which seer the
customer picks for I make the same money off each. Now do your per cent game if
you like.
