Need help with choosing right central air conditioning

affiliateian · 2006-04-01T06:05:05+00:00

I have the sales agent coming over next week to check out ourplace to see if they can install a central A/C unit. The salesmentioned that the SEER rating doesn't mean much for someone who livesin Western Canada. When he faxed over the specs of the Kenmore unitthat he is suggesting, I see it has a SEER rating of 10!Based on the trane website, SEER rating helps to reduce your electricalbill in teh long run and they suggest something along a SEER 15. Themore expensive ones are SEER 19. So this has me all worried about theSEER 10 Kenmore unit.Can anyone shed some light on this situation? Will the SEER 10 belouder? Much more costly? Thoughts?

If you don get written calculations find an hvac installer that will do them, or you will never know if everything is sized right.

I am hoping the installers that gave me the quotes would have done these calculations. They are both certified by Trane Canada. I will have to ask for the numbers.
