| So after the research, the calculations on size and finding qualified installers it all is coming down to two units. Exact same price. Just under $7,000.
A Trane XL14c packaged unit heat pump or Lennox 15CHPX Packaged Heat Pump. If I was deciding without any further input I would go for the Lennox because it is a 15 SEER vs. the Trane 14 seer. |

| Designer what is your location? what size are you considering? units have demand defrost or time defrost? what size heat strip? I believe you are misinformed about the Seer efficiency. According to AHRI Directory, on a three ton system, Trane has as good if not better performance/eff numbers. Post back. IMO |

| Location: Las Cruces, New Mexico Size: 3 Ton Defrost: I'm not sure, I will have to find out how each unti handles its defrost. SEER: I am going of the websites and quotes. The Lennox Says 15 SEER and the Trane says 14 SEER. Heat Strip: Both quotes say "Electric Back-up Heat". I've never used the heat function on the current packaged unit. It just doesn't get cold enough to need it. Even when we had some below 32 degrees here. Do I need to specify a specific size heat strip for my area? Thanks for the information. I will look into the details. |
