Is $19,000 to replace 3-ton R22 system with Lennox EL22XPV-036 dual fuel heat pump a fair price?
Project Details
I am replacing an existing Goodman 3 Ton (10 Seer) R22 system that was installed by the builder in 2004. I don't love the complexity of the inverter drive variable speed systems. I'm more interested in this thing being reliable and serviceable for a long time. My understanding is the variable speed systems are expected to have a shorter lifespan and with that replacement/repair costs are significantly higher. The only huge perk is how quiet they are. So I'm leaning heavily toward Option 2, but Option 1 is close enough in price, is it worth considering? Both installers are very good locally owned mid-size companies, so I'll consider that a wash. Labor warranties are equal (1yr). I like the 410a option with Lennox, the Carrier dealers don't have any remaining stock. I did get a quote on an Arcoaire 2 stage performance series, and it was essentially a wash cost wise on the Carrier (option 2).
