buying new 3.5 ton a/c
Our 14 year old Ruud with an SEER of 12 has rusted out and is leakng
freon. We contacted the a/c company which installed the unit when the house was built and they are recommending replacing the old unit with a Rheem 3.5 ton SEER 13 RAND042JAZ. My concerns a 1- SEER is kinda low. Wouldn't a 14 or higher SEER be better? 2-I don't know if this is a scroll or reciprocating compressor. I've read on-line that scroll is better. Is this correct? 3-I don't know of the motor is one or two speed. Two would be more efficient, right? 4-I am of the opinion that this unit would use Freon. Wouldn't a Puron-using unit be better in the long run? Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. BoJo |
