Heat Pump? A/C? New Furnace
A/C died over the weekend.
Repair guy checked the system and found "the compressor seemed to be drawing high AMPs". Replaced a blown fuse and then quoted me $4800 for a whole new system.
Quoted Armana Distinctions 70,000 BTU 95% furnace, 2.5 ton 13 seer condenser, coil and pump.
Figured that I was due for the whole system as I have an old Lenox Pulse 98% efficient furnace that is probably on it's last legs and the a/c has a money grabbing seers rating of 7.
So the questions are:
1. Is this a good starting figure - I will have others quote.
2. Is Armana a good brand?
3. What is a heat pump?
4. Should I get a heat pump added to the system?
BTW - Living in Michigan. Small 1100 sq.ft. Cape Cod with a southern exposure.
Any help would be appreciated.
