I'm about to replace two units that are about 20 years old. House is a small 2 story and I currently have a 2 ton for the upstairs and a 3 ton for down.
I have had a few estimates and installers seem split on going back with one big 5ton unit capable of zoning or keeping it a 2 and a 3. Price works out that one unit is slightly cheaper and the other benefit is only one unit to service in future
I feel like the setup I have right now is that I am basically manually zoning it. We don't really use the upstairs much until time to sleep and I could probably get by with a single stage unit for up there
Does anybody have any recent experience with the newer zoning units vs just using 2 smaller units ?
The zoning unit they try to sell is a top of the line Lennox XC25 with iHarmony controls. Reviews on iHarmony aren't great and it just seems more high end than I need, but the price is actually about the same for one top of the line compared to 2 smaller units
