Mark - I noticed the difference on my summer electric consumption as well

The new 2-stage 16 SEER unit not only cools the house more evenly (with multi-stage compressor and ECM blower motor), but it saves about $50-60/month for the 4-5 months we use AC here. I think the old unit was ~9-10 SEER

        The savings makes for a long payback period  -  Coloradomark  2017-06-15 12:03:19 (166 views)
        
        Savings alone - I would agree; but if the existing units are near the end of life  -  gription  2017-06-15 12:08:40 (162 views)
