Hi,
I decided to add one this year. Where I live, we need only about 3
months light cooling a year at the most. Locally I can have Lennox,
Carrier, York brand. I am really confused about things like SEER(most
says 13-14 is OK for our area), R-22 vs. Puron, Noise level, outside
unit foot print, etc.(smaller the better for me) So experts here, what
would be your recommendations/suggestions in this case? My house is 2400
sqf 2 story with extreme insulation(R2000 spec). Also have a 12000 BTU
cooler/heater in the sun room on main floor.
TIA

13 OK
14 OK
15 OK
16 OK
17 OK
18 OK
19 OK
R-22 OK but production will be limited starting 2010
Dont Know what Puron is.
R410a Ok Costly now but will prob change
Usually higher SEER is quieter.
They are all a bigger footprint for the most part so get used to it.
10 Seer is gone gone gone.
Get a $99 window unit.
