Air Conditioning - Please help me pick the right central AC

Hi Guys,

Great forum site!! May be someone can help me with my dilemma.

I live in Toronto and going to move in to our newly built home soon. The home is 2000sf in size and I am told 13 SEER 2 ton AC is good enough for our home.

My question/dilemma is I have a choice of ordering from the following two brands- Amana or Keeprite with the following features, and I can't decide which one is better. Keeprite has 410A but parts have only 5 years warranty. On the other hand Amana has 10 years parts warranty but uses R22 Refrigerant. Which one is the better pick? Please help!!!! :confused:

Thanks in advance!

Of the two Id for sure go with the R22 freon . It will be made till 2030. R410a is just to high now. Then if you do have a leak All the rest of the R410a has to be taken out of the unit. Fixed and all new R410a put back in. Go for the Amana

Ed, Thanks for the advise. I was thinking of getting Amana, but the only reason I was not sure of that R22. But it appears it is not going anywhere soon. :)

Also, I like to hear your comments on to have connection line from outside unit to inside unit (coil) longer than 25 feet, say about 35-40 feet. Will this cause a problem in cooling?

Thanks in advnace.

Most all of the books out. Say you can go a little over 50 ft before you have to think about a bigger line size.
