Was quoted $5500 to replace the originall outside unit. The new unit is MUCH smaller and is in the utility room close to the 4 ton air handler. Only problem is if I ever need anyone local to work on it (if I'm not here) they just look at it, shake there head and say "that wont work". It really is hard to find competent professionalls today.

Now that's thinking outside the box! Also like having a small free pool heater.
