Is SEER 15 good or would you pay $1,100 more for a SEER 16?
Is a Uv light necessary?
SEER 15 is the new legal requirement for Florida as of this year. Paying extra for an SEER 16 would be a waste of money. A UV light would also be a waste of money.

I don't know much about Bosch, but I would buy a basic single stage compressor Carrier system. My concern about an unusual system would be the availability of parts if the system fails. Electricity is relatively cheap in The Villages. My main concern about an HVAC system is that, when it fails, I want it repaired as soon as possible. These unusual and energy saving systems will not save you any money over the long term, and could take longer to repair when they fail.

Note that I seached the Bosch website for HVAC service providers and the closest provider is in Clermont.
