What I'm saying is right now, with all the rebates and tax credits, if you take into account the energy savings even on the low end of $50/month over 10 years, the cost for a variable speed unit will be the same or close to the basic single stage units, enough to pay for the additional cost of a better unit meaning, better air purification, better humidity and temperature control and quiteness. When you go to the Carrier web site and look under tax credits, they are only for the Infinity and most of the high efficiency mini-split systems meaning there are some conditions on which units qualify for the federal tax credit. There may be other conditions for other manufacturers.
