New AC question

billfo
11 years ago

My 21 yr old outside Trane unit needs over $ 800 in repairs. Selling home in 2 years. Dont want a big investment here.

1) when replacing the outside unit, do they need to replace the indoor part that connects to the 8 yr old furnace ?

2) Can I save alot getting a unit with the old refrigerant or is the new refrigerant needed now.

thanks for the info.
