I'm all knew to this , so please bare with me ..
R22 is no longer ?
R-410 will probably be going in the next 2-3 years ? at least was just told that.
Reason why I ask is;
(Its all electric no gas)
I bought this house this past summer as a short sale, had a local HVAC guy come (last June) and check the HVAC system out.
He said the pressures looked good, everything else seemed ok.
We go through with the purchase, once moved in noticed the AC had to run a long time to cool down the house just set at 78.
Now that winter is here , set the heater at 65-67 at night and maybe 71 when we are home during the day.
Notice same thing runs along time to heat ...
Had a neighbor today having some problems with his unit, so I walked down and talked with him and asked if and when the tech was done there could he come down to my place.
I told him what is happening with my unit and he checked the pressures , high side was 180 , low was 0 with the heater on.
He did some more testing and we went inside and pointed his infared pistol unit at the air intake and it read 69 , then pointed at a few ducts and they read 71 , heater set at 75 .
Turned the unit off for a few minutes then turned it back on in a/c mode set at 65 once again air intake read 69, duck read 67 after 3-4 minutes of running.
He showed me where the ac comp wasn't pulling enough amps, label said something like max 11.9 ?? and his gauge was only showing 5.6 ?
He tells me the comp is not working properly ..
He quotes me total price just for a 2.5 ton comp replacement $2236.00 total price but that it would still be R22 and they are pretty much obsolete ?
He then quotes just for the unit outside= Rheem $5688. total 10yr parts and labor warranty which would be R-410.
OR
Rheem R-410 Split heat pump whole system for $7897 total price including permits , seal the ducts through out 10 yr parts /labor
What I have in right now is;
Inside is a Magic Chef model H4A24P Serial A 09239CAC
Out side unit appears to be a Goodman Model CPKE24-1AB serial 9801418805.
The house was built in 1980 , so I know the Magic Chef inside is the original, but the outside unit I can't find any dates on it but I know it isn't original.
Do these prices seem right ? The prices include $1600 rebate from local electric comp.. And since they are working 5 houses down he said I didn't have to pay $1200 on another permit ? so actually the prices would be $2800 higher ?
Thanks for any help advise on this !
