Nope, not like the Florida Heat Pump units, or the WaterFurnace. Still looking for the link...the guy that trained me in CA is selling them, and put on on his house in Palm Springs CA...may have to call him in the morning and get the company name again.

To the customer(s) you sent the second rate installer out to, they may need it more than I.

Yup..better companies make sure that all employees that work in the field can install, troubleshoot, and do just about any damn thing that comes up.

Measure the house size, number of windows, etc. It's possible to calculate how much heat loss or gain.

You did get three or four quotes?

'Hi, my AC went out and I decided to replace the unit. I live in Sanantonio, Texas and it gets hot here. The guy gave me a lists of quotes and I am thinking about getting the Trane XL19i system. It is supposed to be top of the line. The total price he quoted me is $

9130. That covers everything, heat pump, ai handler, installation and taxes. Does this seem like a reasonable offer for this unit? It is 17.90 SEER and my old unit is 10 SEER. My current electric bill is about $250 a month. What type of savings would I there be? Thanks, JBS '

ME: You must have money to burn. Paying nearly 10 thousand dollars for this system will not be a good return on investment..even if you lived in the Sahara Desert 24/7 .

He got bids, We cant see the job and work involved. So to criticize his price is unfair. Someone can always get someone cheaper. So it will have a good payback , it may reduce his bills 50%. My last

700 hack is costing me 1500 now. Quality doesnt come cheap.

Yep, but since he's a 700 hack himself, he has to criticize so people will still be mis-informed enough to call him. Dave is just on a crusade to make him proud of the putz that looks back at him from the mirror each morning.

Yeah, but the installers would have fun.
