Hi there -
We have two AC units and corresponding furnaces. The smaller of the two heats and cools our second floor. We knew last year that the smaller AC unit was likely only going to last one more summer and during the yearly maintenance the tech confirmed that the AC was leaking at too quick a rate and needed to be replaced.
All AC and heating units are Carrier models and approximately 15 years old. The furnaces and larger AC unit are still working fine. It's just the smaller AC unit that is in need of replacement.
We've gotten one estimate for a Trane AC for approximately 3K for the AC only and 6K for AC plus furnace. The salesman recommended replacing both for better efficiency.
We are having a Carrier authorized dealer out tomorrow for an estimate from them.
Any thoughts or opinions on replacing the AC with a Trane unit but still keep the Carrier furnace? Are we better off just getting a replacement Carrier unit?
Thanks,
--Dan
