1.5 ton for the master bedroom/bath/closet and a 4 ton for the main house downstairs. The upstairs was replaced a few years ago, so I'm not replacing that.


My opinions were based on the above from your OP. So first step back and look at your envelope. Is the house tight, is it properly insulated, is your duct system tight, do you have good windows, etc. If that is the case then yes a higher efficiency system is right for you. If not get pricing on 13-14 S.E.E.R systems and save some money. Ask about the warranties. Be clear about the installers part of the warranty. Thier labor warranties are usually a year and wholly separate from the 10 year warranty from the manufacturer. Make certain they are supplying all the incidentals. Other than knowing a contractor who lets his guys moonlight you probably are getting a fair deal on a 2 system changeout.

Way to high. I replace my unit last year, same size for $4200. Labor was free, but still shouldn't be almost 4 grand for that.
