Sorry to original posting; I know this is off topic therefrom; to others, please continue with 2.5 ton vs. 3.0 ton units. Meanwhile: they showed up within in an hour of my discovering the emergency, and they had the part. Should I complain to them about the size of the bill? Everyone else says "$130-ish is the going rate". Does withing-the-hour service count for more than 2x the going rate, I wonder? |

I suppose -- seems like every encounter with a Villages contractor is a screwing of some kind. I new and absentee and I'm thinking "are these the abuses you have to experience and learn to deal with as a Villages newbie?"

Always get three bids from contractors who have been recommended by someone you know who is satisfied with their service, THEN. check with Crimes Against Seniors to see that they have no misconduct.
Do not pay more than $3.00-$4.00 per linear foot for a French Drain. Nor more than fifty dollars a month for grass cutting.(We pay less than that) I trust Sunshine Air. I trust 48 Hour Blinds. I trust M&M for Downspouts, I trust Desmond Harris for dryer vent cleaning. I trust Tim Miller The Toolman for attic stairs. I trust T&D for pools and pool baths. Others can add to this list

The directions of windows, trees etc and affect the heat load so two home that are alike can need different capacity.

The Big Question
Quote:
Does your air conditioner fail to keep your house cool in summer or warm in winter? If not....................it's all you need. Now, if there is uneven heating or cooling distribution through the house, that is a matter of properly adjusting the vent openings in each room. That can take some time and experimentation. In very long houses there have even been cases where a booster fan installed in the air duct might help, but that is unlikely in most The Villages houses.

Will try again.
There are 10 homes on a street in The Villages. They are all Designer Homes with almost the exact square footage.
Seven of the homes Munn's installs 2.5 ton units. The other 3 Sunshine installs 3 ton units. In walking around several blocks all the units installed by Munn's are 2.5. Sunshine are 3 ton. Every home with a Sunshine sticker has 3 ton. Every home with a Munn's has 2.5 ton. |

Does the home reach heating/cooling setpoint ? If it does, don't sweat the details. We have a 2050 sq ft designer with a 2.5T unit. It reaches our summer setpoint of 73 degrees. SECO bill is less than our old home of 1900 sq ft that had a 3.0T unit. IT WORKS
