16 Seer, 4 ton. Installed $6,250.

After the credit, its 4750,. That's 750 less that the 14 seer 4 ton Carrier Prestiege and only 150 more than the 14 seer 3.5 ton Preferred Bryant.
Case closed. Deposit given.
I'm pleased with it.
Excellent choice. Trane is a quality unit, and described by my installer as the Mercedes of HVAC units.

I also went with a 4 ton unit, and since our houses are both single story with similar square footage, I think you went with the right size.

I just got my electric bill, and I've been using my a/c all day long at home, and I drop the temp down to 71 degrees at night. My bill came in at $210.

Just for some perspective, with my old unit, it would struggle to keep the house below 76, and the bill run about $500.

That is some serious savings, and you're gonna love it.
