Central Air replacement

Nov 11, 2008 6 Replies

Located in coastal SC, central air unit installed in 2000, no heat pump (hair dryer type heating element I suspect).



I am considering soo replacing unit with a more efficient unit, and heat pump, or....maybe get a few more years out of old unit.



Suggestions?


Congratulations! I hereby nominate you for the weekly "Least Info Given" award on AHR....

I'm lost on your suggustion? you have a a/c unit you want to replace installed in 2000 and its failed or you just want a new more energy efficient unit?

your considering a heat pump and you have gas heat now?

those are significant different systems. the biggest is the power requirements for heat pump that will have to be installed in a non heat pump home. not hard but definitely will have to be done by a professional and inspected.

the second part I'm lost at.

Just want to possibly replace to save energy/money. There is no gas, all electric system.

Soo,

, and you are supposed to call many folks that install these things to learn about everything you dont know.

We used Andersen Services to replace our old system. Their planning and service were excellent. T
