AC Unit Replace - HELP/Advice

9 years ago

Hey guys/gals,

I currently have a Westinghouse/Nordyne 4 ton 13 seer AC unit in my house. It has been a piece of junk from the start, now finally 9 years later I'm getting rid of it after yet another hole in the condenser coil.

I am wanting some advice on whether I should do a full system replace condenser/evaporator and get a newer unit. My friend recommended Lennox which looks good for the price. Is there any advice for help? I had gone through Westinghouse/Nordyne a year or so ago and they were going to be performing warranty work. After numerous attempts to actually get them to fulfill the warranty nothing happened. Any advice there?

Get a 13 SEER AmStd Allegiance 13 with best matching coil or Bryant Preferred 13 with best matching ALA coil if keeping furnace with conventional PSC blower motor.

Not a fan of Lennox brand.

IMO
