Hi All,
So, been in house a year - knew HVAC was original - 20 yrs old, so obviously time for planning for replacement.
Location is Pensacola, FL ... hot summers and sometimes cold winters.
Current system is 10 SEER for cooling ... minimum replacement is 14 SEER cooling and around 9 for heat pump mode. Was gonna go this direction, but there are options:
- two speed, multi, or variable speed compressor vs single speed
- multi-speed fan unit (air handler) vs single
- ground source (geothermal) loop vs single
- marketed brands like Carrier vs lower cost, easy to repair brands like Ruud
Thoughts?
