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


go with the highest you can afford. energy costs are going up, and
will
never go down. also, pretty soon a 10 seer will be illegal to
install.

Did that law go through? Isn't it interesting how one group of
politicials
claim the other group of politician is making poor people more poor,
and
we need more welfare.

Minimum 12 SEER by Jan 2006. For NOW, that is! "They" are pushing for 13
SEER......



And what about "Puron"?


Nothing regulates "Puron". Thats just a pretty Carrier name for R410a.

Yeah. Has nothing to do with the SEER rating (except I don't think anyone
makes a 410 unit under a 12 SEER, but I could be wrong.....)
