We live in the Pacific NW. Not terribly hot or cold. I've done
searches on heat pumps and air handlers and mostly cooling issues are
being addressed. Here's what we are looking at:
BTW, 4 different quotes and opinions and each did a "heat loss"
calculations on our home.
1. 2 1/2 ton American Standard 14 SEER Heat Pump
2. Coupled with a 3 ton variable speed air handler with a 31000
BTU capacity

Or:
1. 2 1/2 ton 14 SEER Heat Pump
2. Coupled with a 3 ton variable speed air handler with a 37000
BTU capacity

Or:
1. 3 ton 14 SEER
2. Coupled with a 3 ton variable speed air handler with a 37000
BTU capacity

Some more info: House was built in 1977, double paned windows, 13
registers, one story home. Since it is such a high ticket item, we
want to do it right the first time. Thanks so much, Karel
