I have a 10 seer air and heat unit in my home. The compressor was hit by lighting. My electrician put in a 13 seer unit and also replaced the inside unit with 13 seer. Now my insurance company want pay for the inside unit. My electrician said that you can hook up a 13 seer compressor to a 10 seer condenser and coil but if you do the compressor will not put out but 10 seer and it will damage it over time. My electrician said that it was necessary to replace both units. He could not get a 10 seer because it is against the law for manufactures to make then. There are some available but it might take up to two weeks to get one. The insurance company said that it was not necessary to replace the coil and condenser. What do you say?
