A LOT . You dont say about the duct work the electric work the line set. Then you for sure have to get a EPA guy to pump it down and charge the units with freon.
Is the unit good??? Was it sealed up right? will it run.
You have so many IFS IFS here with used systems

I'm with Ed, too many ifs. Used equipment is usually not worth the trouble and will likely have problems.

Thanks for your input. The unit was working fine when I removed it from the old house. It only had 4 seasons of use on it. I have a forced hot air heating system so I have the ducts already.

How did you remove the unit from the other house?????

As the guys said.. you need EPA Cerft. to do this stuff.. Otherwise a hefty fine will need to be paid.

Is this unit sized right for your home?

I had a new unit installed in the old house so this one was removed by the installer. I know I cant charge the unit but I would like to do as much of the rest of the installation as possible. Thanks for your help.
