J If your brother is a contractor he can probably get a better price locally. A lot of those internet places take advantage of the fact that a homeowner can't even get a system price out of a local hvac supplier. Most hvac contractors charge the customer more for the system than they paid plus charge for installation. On top of the premium price the internet places also charge a couple hundred for shipping. Or search crais list for a used but not real old one. Package units such as are normally found on mobile homes are a lot easier to uninstall. |

J Hey J, Here's a link to a Goodman package unit and I think I saw some Grandaire units on there too. You looking for a self contained heat pump? The other guy answering you said internet charges for shipping but this company says they ship for free anywhere. Check er out: http://www.acoverstock.com/complete-...age-units.html There's a couple 14 seer heat pump units on there you might still be able to get a tax rebate on. Although the big rebate expired and Obama lowered it to $300 instead of $1500. Oh well, take what you can while you can! Good luck in your search.

I appreciate your help J- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - If you're out in the middle of the country you might find a local distributor that's a little more friendly and willing to sell you a system. I've noticed they don't seem to get so worked up about a homeowner installing their own stuff in rural areas as they do in the cities. I think the rural communities are more adjusted to the idea that you might want to do your own work. Sometimes the local farm supply places can order them too so that's another place to check. There was a place I used to get them from near my lake house at the va/ nc border. They didn't ask too many questions if you had money. They went out of business in the crash though. The local distributors here in Raleigh won't sell me a system. They will sell me parts. NC has a specifc hvac contractors license so it varies from state to state. I don't have the hvac contractor license but I do have the refrigerant license so at least I can buy refrigerant. Beauty of package units is you don't have to mess with the refrigerant lines. |

I advise you to have your brother the contractor buy the
unit. Surely, he knows where to get such equipment. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Jerome Kurchel" wrote in message news:201103290149438930-asdlv333@cresenttoolscom...

Unless the compressor is burnt out, it may be cheaper to
repair the unit you have. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Jerome Kurchel" wrote in message news:2011032908355111272-asdlv333@cresenttoolscom...

J Might check with your electric company, sometimes they have some good deals. Mine has a free energy audit and then rebates on energy efficient upgrades. |

Should be "included" not "free". No such thing as free
shipping. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "jamesgangnc" wrote in message ... They ship for free because they have inflated their prices a bunch. |

Maybe a bit more complicated that a regular appliance but not by much. |
