[QUOTE="-Pjackso, post: 4032529, member: 8119"] With the new HVAC units typically designed to last 10 years (ish), it's completely crazy - from the homeowner’s side. Remember HVAC units lasting 30 years? Sure they were ugly and noisy, and needed a service call sometimes ...but 30 years!!! New refrigerants, requirements for higher SEER, proprietary parts (and obsolescence), thinner materials, etc.... Today's focus is solely on efficiency - with no thought to reliability and longevity. I'd seriously consider a less-efficient unit if it would honestly last 30 years. [/QUOTE]
