  I live in small 2 story 1400 sqft house in Toronto Ontario.  My
Coolman furnace blower died out and I am getting it replaced.  I am
also replacing my 1.5 ton Lennox Central Air Condition as well, it is
working fine, but I think it is cheaper to replace both Furnace and AC
together.

I got a quote for both Furnace and Central AC installed for:

Keeprite 2 Stage High Efficiency 92% Furnace 75000 BTU   for $2600
including GST  (model IIS 90)

Ameristar (American Standard) 1.5 ton 13 SEER  with coil for $1900
include GST

5 Years Parts and Labour Included on both units.

Also I can deffer payment for 1 year no cost.

All funds are in Canadian dollars, as of August 2007

Please let me know if I am getting a good deal, or I am being ripped
off?

 You're getting ripped off by at least $1900, because you're replacing
perfectly good A/C.  It should not make a diff to the installer.  If he told
you otherwise, get another one.

Even if your old A/C is Very low efficiency, in Ontario you'll never recover
the cost of new one, based on savings.

  Thanks

My AC was manufactured in 1988, this is the reason I thought to
replace it as well.

In my neighborhood (in Midwest) there are several A/C units that date back
to early 1970's - still working fine. The SEER rating may be 10, or  a bit
below, but they are simple to fix and don't crash every time there's a storm
somewhere on the East Coast :-)

The only pocketbook that suffers, is the one of the con artists that have
not sold them are replacement.

It's to bad, you're to ignorant to understand that a new unit could have
paid for itself.
