This system is for the 1800 sqft upstairs area of a 3000 sqft house in East Tennessee. It replaced an 18 year old system. I'm waiting on the downstairs unit to die before replacing it. Since it is used much less frequently - only when we have guests. Or have to live downstairs temporarily because the upstairs unit died

The HVAC guy stated it's a 3.5 ton, Trane 16 SEER II with a variable speed blower installed to existing duct work, thermostat, and refrigerant pipes.
You purchased a single stage heat pump with a variable speed blower in the air handler which is a pretty basic system. Trane is a good brand and I'm sure it will work just fine in your home. Just curious, how much did the whole system cost?
