Advice on new or used central air heat pump for home
Looking at replacing our 15 yr old 3 ton Trane (10 seer) with a new 3
1/2 ton 14 seer American Standard or Trane with a variable speed air handler. Reasons are mainly to save energy both cooling and heating costs. Our current heat is (3) 5k strips. We live in the southeast so a heat pump would be the best way to go. So far quotes are $4K to $4,500. I am seeing deals on 3 yr old and newer units on Ebay and Craigslists for $800 and less. I have been quoted by one source an installation charge of $1000 - labor only if I provide the system. Anyone have experience doing this? Perhaps we could buy an aftermarket warranty? Things are pretty tight budget wise - thanks, Bill |
