Trane coil vs Aspen coil
We had a A/C technician come to our house to put in more freon. He
told us that the evaperator coils for both units (8 years old, 3.5 and 4 tonnes, Lennox) need a replacement (I don't know how he determine this since I was not at home). He would like to replace the existing coils with Trane coils. The cost is $1200 each. We had another A/C technician come out and he would like to replace the existing coil with Aspen coil. The cost is $850 each. Can you please tell us if it's better deal to go with the cheaper solution? How much better TRANE vs ASPEN coil that justifies the cost? Also, how do these people know that the evaperator needs a replacement? I wasn't at home when the first technician was here but the second technician doesn't measuring anything to indicates that the evaperator is the issue. in addition to the repair/replace question, some other questions: 1. Do the prices seem reasonable? 2. Is repairing the coil leak a reasonable option? Thank you |

Trane coil vs Aspen coil
The indoor coil should match the outdoor unit, not just brand, but
capacity and SEER as well. The manufacturer of the outdoor unit knows what indoor coils are OK to use. The Aspen coil is an off brand that is used to match to almost anything, at reduced efficiency most of the time. In order to determine if the coil needs replaced, they would actually need to find a leak in the coil. Otherwise they are blowing smoke. Stretch |
