I live in Phoenix AZ and am purchasing a 5 ton Trane AC unit for my home (2500 sq ft) which I plan to live in for quite some time. I was quoted after all rebates a price of $10,933 (19i) and $7396 (13i) for full install of these split units. The fan is on the side of my home, and the unit is in an indoor closet approximately 20 ft away. They are replacing all of the lines, electric ( standard stuff). The company doing this is called American Home Maintenance based out of Tempe AZ.

This price seems awfully high, but the sales person ensured me that American Home Maintenance was the top tier in installation and I would get my moneys worth. This is Home Depot's sub contacting company in Phx AZ. Can someone please shed some light on my situation.

What should I expect to pay to get a legit install of a Trane unit? Is the 19 that much more efficient than the 13 for 2500 sq ft home? My summer electric bills are around $400 and I am keeping the house at 80.

The warranty they included:
10 year compressor / evap and cond coil
5 year "other parts"/Heating Inspections/Cooling
5 year Inspections/Coil & Drain Cleanings
20 year Heat Exchanger
1 year Repair Labor/Refrigerant Warranty.

I realize Carrier makes a great unit with the Infinity as well. However, I am trying to support an all American made product.
