Message: [QUOTE="bfs3, post: 4814693, member: 10189"] That’s a great set up. Before the rebates a few years ago it was a pretty pricey set up. Then again so is adding central air. You also have the benefit of a 7-Zone system. If they sized it for heating you probably don’t need anything else. The inverter also does a great job dehumidifying. I’ve been involved with several of those projects. The downside is that after a few years if one of your heads leaks/breaks you typically have to replace that entire system. They change the communications frequently and they aren’t backwards compatible. Make sure you keep the filters clean and stay on top of that 12 yr warranty. There are some very expensive set ups in West Hartford that aren’t doing anything because the guy who bought the house can’t afford the cost of replacing his 5-Zone Fujitsu that’s 6 years old (non transferable warranty) My other posts were all referring to ducted heat pump systems. They still make up the vast majority of systems. Homeowners typically aren’t aware of the differences. They take data and information about ductless heat pumps and mistake it for ducted. Hopefully soon they’ll make a ducted inverter affordable. Right now Bosch is the best value for those that I’m aware of. A 3.0 ton Lennox 25 SEER I last saw quoted for $32,000 without replacing any ductwork. A 2/3 Zone mini split before rebates would be less than half. I still recommend adding a ducted heat pump of any efficiency to a propane or oil hot air furnace. However long it manages to heat your home you’re saving money. Also, it’s not much more expensive than just replacing your AC coil and condenser. [/QUOTE]
