Our heat pump decided to kick the bucket, and of course it did so just after we decided not to renew our home warranty. So, we're stuck footing the bill for the install, and that means I want something decent, but something that won't break the bank. We need to do something SOON, because summers in Washington can be brutal, and we're already starting to heat up. We have quotes from Sears to install an ESM2x18 air handler, and an H2H2x18 condenser (I think these are Kenmore, but I'm not sure, and the quote doesn't say). Their quote is much higher (about $850) than the second company, who is going to install American Standard units numbers 2TEC3F24A1000A and 2A6H2034A100A. We're still trying to get a third quote, but depending on how long it takes us to catch up with the third people, we may be forced to choose between these two. Does anyone have any experience with Kenmore/American Standard heat pumps? Any recommendations of one over the other? We're (obviously) inclined to go with the American Standard because of the cost savings, especially since we only plan on being in the house another 1 to 2 years, but if there's something obvious that we're missing, I'd sure like to know.
Thanks in advance!
