New Haet Pump installed
Heat Pump and Air Handler put in yesterday. Much quieter and works great. Two guys doing it were really good. New tubing/wiring/drain/top cover and molding on handler cabinet in garage and new Honeywell matched digital control inside. BTW it is very simple to set and use unlike some I've seen.
They also put a new concrete slab outside for the heat pump to sit on. They said new buildings codes since this house was built in the early 90s have changed and you can't place an outside unit underneath the electric meter as the old one was. The new HP (Lennox) is also much taller with more air vents even though it is the same 2.5 tonnage as the old one.
I did upgrade the air handler up one fer 300 more bucks or so, but this company was still cheaper than the other one and I still saved $500 off their estimate.
I know some folks in TX had to set their hot water heaters up so far off their garage floors before they were allowed to sell their houses to meet code.
Anyway, I'm happy and will put it to good use, been cool here last couple nights and summer ain't that far off. My electric bill should go down some too.
24 years outta that ole Rheem HP (original to the house), so I shouldn't complain.

It's only true if it's on this forum where opinions are facts and facts are opinions

What do they recommend 74-78 degrees or so (?) depending on what your comfort level is, of course.
