I am replacing the package HVAC unit in my home.The blower motor went and I don't want to get it repaired.
I have a 20 yr old Carrier Gas air and AC and the installer/servicer has given me a quote to install this unit in my home:
http://www.residential.carrier.com/products/packaged/gasac/performance.shtml

His price is 7,695 less 700 in carrier rebates. So, about a 7 grand outlay. 5500 after I get a 1500 energy credit on my '10 tax return. He says I ought to save 40% in electric on the AC side and about 15% on the heating side. Last month my elec bill was 204.00 My house is a single story 2100 sf living area approx. 25 yrs old with original insulation materials.

I don't have any complaint about Carrier, but I don't have any knowledge in this area either. The unit has run pretty well in the 12 years I have owned the home.

Comments on price, unit quality, other similar quality brands, etc.
