I have an 18 year old ?? ClimateMaster 3.5 ton geothermal heat pump (Model #805042GHWSTRTNON - 1 Stage Unit) that needs to be replaced. (It has a freon leak that I am told is in an area that is not repairable.) It is located in an "attic crawl space" with limited area
- seems as if the house was built for this unit, as there is not much room left.
Anyway, when I replace it (haven't gotten my quotes back yet), will it likely be cheaper to replace it with a modern GTHP (even if I might need a split unit for space) than to switch to a conventional unit ?
I live in South Louisiana, so we need the cooling alot more than we need the heating... (As always, needed repairs come at the worst time of the year...)
