I live in metro Atlanta and I'm looking at replacing my 22 yr old Trane 2-zone system (both ACs and Furnaces). Got a quote today for Trane systems, and I wonder if it looks reasonable. They are for Trane 13 Seer systems, along with variable speed furnaces (he didn't feel the price differential to 15 Seer justified the potential savings).
Thee units are 2TTR30324A/TUD060R9V3K4 (downstairs zone) and
2TTR3030A/TUD060R9V3K4 (upstairs zone).The price per zone were $5808 and $6571 . Then I get a $1000 rebate from the company (not from Trane - those expired in June).
He also recommends the old R22 refrigerant instead of R410A. I can get the R410A for $343 additional per unit, but he has seen lots of problem with R410A due to excessive head pressure.
The guy seemed pretty knowledgeable, and wasn't pressing me for upgrades, or add ons.
Do you think the quotes are reasonable?
What about his recommendation for R22 vs. R410A? Has anyone heard about problems with R410A? And will R22 be available for the foreseeable future?
Thanks.
