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.
