Hi everyone,

Here's the deal I live in Maryland and I am getting ready to move
out of my house. The person before me replace the heat/cooling system
in the house about six years ago. And as you can guess on the sixth
year the heat pump has died, and my luck the crap only had a 5 year
warranty. The unit is a GOODMAN CPKE30-1B. My question is this,
since I am going to sell the house within a year should I just replace
the heat pump or the whole thing.

I have got some quotes from a couple of dealers, they a
1. Local guys, pretty reputable: They say they will just replace the
unit with a GOODMAN CPKe-30L, 2.5 ton 10 seer heat pump.
Total: $1350.00

2. Home Depot, guy, replace the whole thing with all TRANE heat pump
2TWR1030A, Trane Air Handler TWG030A1408, and Baystat 240
Thermostat.
Total: $4450.00

3. Local guys also reputable: They say they will put in Rheem
products. I haven't got all the details yet, but they will replace heat
pump,air handler, and thermostat as well
Estimate Total: $3500

Please keep in mind I will be selling the place. So is it worth it
for a new system or just replace the heat pump and move on? Also how
much value do you think this would to the house?

Thanks for your input in advance

Do you want the new pump in your new house? If so, consider the longevity
of the system. You can then take a working system with you, instead of
leaving an 'old' system behind.
