| 1. Is there a big difference between an American Standard unit and a Grandeair (and who makes the latter?)
2. In a beach community, do aluminum or copper coils make more sense? (opinion appears to be divided on which is better). Thanks. |

| jche These are HPs? I Believe that Trane/AmStd systems hold up better in a harsh coastal environments. Grandeair is not Am Standard. these are the minimum specs you should be looking for. 15 SEER, 12.5+ EER, 9 HSPF you want a thorough inspection of your ductwork system. size, overall condition, supply and return lines, insulation qualities, leak test, etc. any hot/cold spot issues in your home should be addressed. My personal recommendation is Trane/AmStd, Rudd/Rheem, and Carrier/Bryant. Depending on your location, I would not purchase a new system that did not have electronic demand defrost. IMO |
