No question Trane is sort of the Cadillac of the
split units, right now; but, I would agree that 10 grand seems to be a little
high. I just replaced both the condensing unit and air handler for about 5
grand, with duct work changes adding about a thousand for over 4000 square feet.
Get a few more quotes, a little oversize can be useful but not too much,
controls price to a great degree and realize these old boys sometimes make
used car and tire salesmen look thoughtful and compassionate. Find one you and
others have faith in. jofarr
I would advise you to
get some other estimates on the heat pump. I have two in my house.
Both went out a year apart from each other. I got them replaced for
about $1500/ea. installed. This was from a small, one-man operation.
That is for the compressor box that sits outside only. If that’s
all you need, you should be able to do better than $10K.
