Replacing the existing HVAC with

1. Trane 90% AFUE furnace

2. Trane 13 SEER AC Condenser Unit

Contractor wants $4700.

Is it reasonable price?

Capacity? 2 tons, 21/2 tons, 3 tons, etc.

Both inside (Heat exchanger /coil) and outside units?

Also, is he going to put a new line (for freon)? The old line may not be able to withstand the present day high pressures with which freon is circulated.

It is a 3 Ton capacity unit.

Coils and heat exchanger will be replace by new ones.

What I was told was tha they will flush out the freon from the old line put in the new refrigerant R410A and pressure test the line.

MAX was right.... But change your handle to MuLLai Azhagi. But how come a female name?

for 4700 u should be able to get a 14 SER. But its Trane - u pay a little more (+ 300). But The current best maker is American Standard - if I am right.

The price is good for a 3-ton unit for both new inside and outside + installation.

I would insist on a new line however. Old lines with new high pressure/high efficiency stuff could lead to leaks and other problems (especially if the old line is 10-15 years old).

You mean our Sara Boji converted from Brahminism to Mukulathaarism?

Serfoji II is mentioned as Sarabhoji in the Tamil records of the period.
