I live in Phoenix with a 10 year old York 4 ton unit I was told the coils are bad and the motor is leaking The A/C guy tried to sell me a new unit on the spot, but I declinedWanted to get a second opinion before I shell out the $$$My house is a 1650 sq ft single story4 ton seems a big excessive, but that's what I was told I needed 10 years agoAny advice on good/bad brands as well as desirable features A/C's run a long time down here in the desert and I would like to save a couple bucks on the electric meterI think the 18 seer is a bit much, but would like to get the best bang for my buckAny help/advice would be appreciated Thanks in advance!
Deplorable Donnie Douchebag won't even show up.
She'll probably outlive TrumpHe's older, and the male lifespan is shorter.
She's wearing wigHer hair is suddenly longer than it was when she collapsed.
Trump hired one to use in his commercials.
Get multiple bids, at least five, and if the company doesn't want to give you a fully itemized estimate including the make and model number of the unit they're going to install run like hell the other wayIt's better to err on the side of lower tons because if your system is too powerful it will short-cycle, and not run long enough to dehumidify your houseI'm not a contractor but I did a substantial amount of research before I had my system installed, and 4 tons sounds about right considering the summertime temps you haveThe correct way to actually calculate the required system size is to take into account the weather, how well the house is insulated, daytime shade hours vssun hours, number and quality of windows, and orientation but you will probably never find a company that bothers to do these calculationsI have a 3.5 ton system on 1842 square feet but I'm in a region that runs about 10 degrees cooler in the summertimeOne outfit even tried to sell me a 6 ton systemAs far as the SEER rating, it depends on how long you are going to stay in your houseIn the upper SEER ratings you have to spend a lot of money to get a very small increase in the rating, so it takes a lot longer for the higher rating to pay for itself in utility bill savingsSometimes it's better to spend the money upgrading insulation and attic ventilation than it is to spend thousands more to get a higher SEER rating.
