How does this Trane Bid sound?

13 years ago

According this this Trane dealer he finds heat gain and loss of 37.000+ and 60,000+ BTUÃ¯Â¿Â½s and finds my current equipment to be sized correctly. Furnace 110,000 BTU and A/C 3.5 tons
Option 1:
XR95 80,000 BTU 95% AFUE furnace TUH1B080A942
XR13 3.5 ton condensing unit model 4TTR3042D
4TXCC044BC coil producing 42,500 BTUÃ¯Â¿Â½s at 13.25 SEER/ 11 EER.
TCONT600
Total Cost $8550 - No rebates; not sure about tax credits

Option 2:
XV95 2stage var speed 97% AFUE furnace TUH2B080A9V3 XR16 condensing unit model 4TTR6042B
4TXCC044BC coil producing 39,500 BTUÃ¯Â¿Â½s at 14.5 SEER/ 12.5 EER.
TCONT602
Total Cost $10,550 with $250 util rebate and $150 tax cr

Option 3:
XV95 2stage var speed 97% AFUE furnace TUH2B080A9V3
XL18 two stage 4 ton condensing unit model 4TTX8048A 4TXCC044BC coil producing 46,500 BTUÃ¯Â¿Â½s at 16 SEER/ 12 EER.
TCONT602
Total Cost $13310 with $250 util rebate and $150 tax cr and $750 Trane rebate and Trane financing possible.

All three options involves some plenum work - not major.

Am I being oversold? I'm located in Central NJ

Trane is challenged to get systems that qualify for the Fed Tax Credit. Don't know how important that is to you.

NJ pricing is much more than other markets.

Don't care for option 1 at all.

But it says a great deal about your quoting dealer that would allow a nice furnace like the XV95 to be crippled by the incorrect thermostat that was quoted in option 2 and 3. At worse it should be the 803 (HW Mdl #8321) , at best HW VP IAQ that will properly stage a nice two stage furnace rather than use a timer that will always roll over into high stage. Stupid and wrong and says a great deal about dealer's treatment of his customer.

Here is the Trane system that I would recommend.

5996430 Active Systems XR17 TRANE 4TTR7048A1 4TXCD063BC3 1365 1090 *UH2B080A9V4 48500 13.00 17.00 1 RCU-A-CB 345 Yes

And it does qualify for the Tax credit. One of the few.

I personally would look at Carrier VS furnace paired with Performance 17 AC condenser.

IMO
