    Fact: All new equipment is designed to work with new equipment. The most inportant areas of concern is the 13 SEER minimum rate of efficiency and the new style controle some units have.

    Now thermostats can usually be used but why would someone want to reuse the inside blower with the old non-efficient coil is anyone's guess.
