Looking to install a new AC unit. 2.5T outdoor with a 3T coil. Maratherm for around $2,200 or a comfortmaker for around $3,000. Any advice? Don't wait 11 years to announce it. o_O [8~{} Uncle Old Monster |

Don't wait 11 years to announce it. o_O [8~{} Uncle Old Monster So no advice? thanks man Never heard of either of those brands. Eqpt needs to be matched, not sure why you'd install a 3 ton coil on a 2.5 ton compressor, but that coil may be good for either 3 or 2.5. Did you get several quotes? Check the warranties? Reputation of the installers? I've had decades of experience with Rheem/Ruud and satisified with them. A lot less than name brands like Carrier, but IMO just as reliable. In 30 years of experience, I had 3 problems: 1 - A compressor failed, got just the compressor replaced. That was the most expensive repair, about $600, 25 years ago. 2 - A ten year old unit needed a hard start kit installed because it was blowing fuses. It worked fine for another 15 years until I replaced the whole system, including new gas furnace 3 - That new system had one of those fancy ECM motors on the condenser fan. It failed when 4 years old. I replaced it with a PSC motor for $90. That is all I spent on repairs. |
