Our heat exchanger is cracked our AC A coil is plugged and the Furnace is condemned so we do neat a new system. We are in Minnesota and have COLD winters.
1.What efficiency would you get? I am looking at a 96 furnace and a 14eefr AC. Including an electronic air filter, duct source removal ( an advanced cleaning method) and installation with 10 year full warranty and life on the exchanger for an Amana the estimate is about 7000. This will qualify for 600 in utility rebates I MIGHT be able to get 750 off if I don't get the cleaning but might have a bit higher operating cost if I do that?.In could get an 80% system and 10 AC with no cleaning and only 5 year warranty for about 3500.
I plan to be in the house for a good 20 years
What do you think?
