Trane vs Carrier (heatpump guru)

[gardenelf]

Hi dash, I don't know what size system we currently have, all the labels are ruined (faded from the weather), you should have seen the puzzled looks on the hvac guys, can't read a thing of them...Both companies did a manual load. I don't understand why one recommends a 2 Ton and one a 2.5 Ton...I guess this is the way the matched system are designed.

Nope one is correct and the other is incorrect,or worse yet ,they are both wrong.

If your in a humid climate you really don't want to over size.yopu can do a calc. at the RED tab above for a small fee.I'd ask each to check their numbers .

Since I am running out of time trying to find the right contractor I will order this system tomorrow...Trane XL14i...TEE3F31A100A..BAZHTR1410..4TWX4024A1..14 SEER..2 TONS..this was the most expensive bid I received, and the biggest company I had contacted, but the rep. was the only person to check out the wiring and take a look at the breaker box and suggested to bring in an electrician. What do you think?

I'd make sure the load calc is correct or the contractor is on the hook in writing,like one brands 100% satisfaction guarantee,if it's wrong.
