Trane or Amana install for 2024 or 2025...?

[Brian Ferri]

3 Questions...

First: I want to replace my Central Air system with Trane or Amana. I've only had Trane, and the current Trane I have is over 22 years old and is running great. I was planning on replacing it this Fall when it's cooler in the attic for the Air Handler install to include new ductwork. I found an install I want to use who proposes Amana. This is a 5 star installer...and I trust them. I don't know the reliability of Amana.

Second: The installer said since I was replacing in the Fall, maybe wait for early 2025 when the refrigerant changes. Does it matter to wait for 2025? I don't know the pro's or con's of having it installed in 2024 or 2025 with newer refrigerant.

Third: What is the lifespan of the round flex ducts in the attic? I know mine are over 22 years old. Should these be replaced as well? I had a ridiculous $88K Geothermal estimate that I was told there's no need to replace the flex ducts. I'm not buying it!

Going to a more efficient upgrade, generally the duct size needs to increased and should include the returns. Old duct work generally needs cleaning but they do-not wear out.
Waiting for the new refrigerant will cost more, going with the current refrigerant is how long will it be before the refrigerant is phase out.

Trane ve Amana arasında seçim yaparken sadece enerji verimliliği değil, cihazların uzun ömürlü olup olmadığı da önemli. 2024 ve 2025 modellerinde IoT destekli sistemlerin yaygınlaştığını görüyoruz. Bu noktada nesnelerin interneti ve giyilebilir teknolojiler https://www.haberercis.com.tr/nesnelerin-interneti-ve-giyilebilir-teknolojiler üzerine yapılan çalışmalar, HVAC sistemlerinin uzaktan izlenmesi ve kontrolü açısından ciddi avantajlar sağlıyor. Bu tür teknolojilere uyumlu bir sistem seçmek, uzun vadede hem konfor hem de maliyet açısından faydalı olabilir.

It`s interesting.
