Many of the biggest producers offer 4. In this case, the 15 SEER is not worth it. It would be advisable to get some additional quotes; we have a group of vetted HVAC installers that can help you out with that.
Basically, you just fill in this form and get 4 free quotes from HVAC guys in your area. Was told the 14 Seer is on or off. The 20 Seer has multiple speeds and vary throughout the day, summer or winter. Either way 14 Seer was by far the lowest price. Now, you have to calculate a bit how much per season you spend on cooling.
Mini splits usually last for 20 years or so. Usually the reason why 14 SEER units have by far the lowest price is because they are old models, and nobody really likes a less efficient unit. If you can, try to negotiate the lower price for 20 SEER unit, and go with that.
Financially it does make better sense. Hope this helps. Thanks for this article but are these really yearly costs? I have a power monitor and the heat pumps use the most power by far. Looking to replace the older unit with something in the range. Now, the deviations here can be big, as you have yourself notice.
With different SEER ratings, you can roughly estimate your costs. Heating uses another rating; HSPF rating you can read more about it here. Hello, my question is I received a quote for a Bryant 3 ton 15 seer legacy series. The contractor assured me it was a 15 seer. Thanks I look forward to your response. That is a bit of a difference in electricity costs. Variable speed is a way to increase SEER rating and efficiency. Hope all of this helps. Pricing a Bryant 16 seer 3.
What is best value? I called the rep and he claims that the combination of the variable air handler and the I do it know who to believe but I wonder? Is his statement anywhere near the common believe? Hello there, the outside unit with the condenser is the main unit that determines energy efficiency SEER rating. Hello Thanks for helping out others. Both Sheds are 7 feet apart with covered path in between. Do I have to buy 2 units because of two sheds even though they are totalling much less then the capacity of this unit sq ft?
Or what exactly I need to buy additional? Hello Max, thank you. This is quite an interesting problem; you would require about 4, BTU per shed. I'm not sure if the 2-stage systems last as long as 1-stage. Maybe they last longer considering they have less starts and stops. I don't know. If you live in an area which suffers through high humidity in the summer, then you will appreciate a 2-stage AC unit. The first stage can run for long periods of time to dry out the air while not over cooling the air temperature.
IMO you are not going to see much difference in savings in a 15 vs. These numbers are calculated in a lab environment. There are variations with the actual installation which will likely swamp out the one point difference in the SEER rating. However, the issue as I said is how big a difference there is between the two stages. The other thing to look at is the heat rating of these two units. You won't notice the difference in SEER. But is there a larger difference in HSPF?
I wanted to share these numbers which my contractor gave me yesterday. I wish all companies were required to include them in their literature since it demonstrates a more accurate picture of efficiency. The manual J has been done several times by multiple companies with a resulting size of 4-tons.
Look at the Goodman SSZ14 unit. Best single stage heat pump around IMO expert opinion. They are rated with higher efficiencies than the Trane stuff. Won't be as costly as the overpriced Trane stuff and you can even get matchups that qualify for federal and local utility rebates. I have been following this thread closely and really surprised about some of the comments as well as those that are missing in action. Yes this area has freezing temps usually short in duration.
What's my point? I like Trane. And finally these are premium heat pumps that will be doing the heavy lifting-both the sgl stg Heritage 15 and the two stg Heritage 16 HP. Yes I said miserable. I don't believe those COPs you provided are correct. Where did those numbers come from? Much superior to the Trane. Plus the furnaces are sized better to your situation. Have fun spending 3K-4K more for a system that is less efficient just because it happens to say Trane on it.
I am looking at American Standard which I do understand is made by the same company that makes Trane but is less expensive. The previous post I was watching was about Trane versus American Standard. My Carrier estimate was about the same as the American Standard for similar equipment. I appreciate everyone's input. I have found a contractor who I trust and who has saved me money in the past and they happen to use American Standard.
If my small list of trusted contractors included someone who installed Goodman I would certainly have considered that. Thanks again everyone! Carrier's sister company Bryant offers same equipment.
I am not sure of the my existing furnace size. I will check that out. Do you have carrier efficiency numbers? I think I have a quote on the second option. The application would determine the model and size. Indem Sie weiterhin auf der Website surfen bzw. Mehr erfahren. Ultimate Lighting Sale. Bathroom Vanity Sale. Bestselling Chandeliers and Pendants. But how do you know which unit is the right unit to buy?
SEER measures air conditioning and heat pump cooling efficiency. It is calculated by dividing the total amount of cooling it produces per season by the total amount of electricity needed.
Generally speaking, the higher the SEER rating, the greater the energy efficiency. The current national minimum requirement for SEER rating is
