Hi,

Thanks for all the good advice.

Let me show my ignorance: "Personally when I change units again I
will
make
damn sure that I get a
scroll compressor."

What's a scroll compressor ?

Read this: http://www.copeland-corp.com/cp_ac/cp_ac_0_1_a.htm


Why is it better ?

The things are almost bullet-proof. The have less moving parts, can
take
liquid slugs (of refrigerant) a lot better than the older recips could,
and
are quieter.

More expensive ?

I don't think so.

Found on what mfg's units, etc. ?

All of the Rheem line, higher SEER Trane and York to name a few.




And I'm sure you know that they are in the Goodman brand now too.

Not only that, but Goodman will warrant it for "life" on the 13 SEER units
and above. (Original owner only)


Yesterday I found out that Goodman's extended warrantys are _transferable_.
