Central Air replacement
 
Located in coastal SC, central air unit installed in 2000, no heat
pump (hair dryer type heating element I suspect).

I am considering soo replacing unit with a more efficient unit, and
heat pump, or....maybe get a few more years out of old unit.

Suggestions?

I'm lost on your suggustion? you have a a/c unit you want to replace
installed in 2000 and its failed or you just want a new more energy
efficient unit?

your considering a heat pump and you have gas heat now?


those are significant different systems. the biggest is the power
requirements for heat pump that will have to be installed in a non
heat pump home. not hard but definitely will have to be done by a
professional and inspected.

the second part I'm lost at.

Just want to possibly replace to save energy/money. There is no gas,
all electric system.

We used Andersen Services to replace our old system.
Their planning and service were excellent.
