Hello all,
We moved into our first home in 2019 and are now looking to replace our heating system. We know little about HVAC, so any advice is welcome.
Location: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
Home: Bungalow build in 1961 with 2400 sqft of heating space. Basement walls have R20 spray foam. Exterior walls and attic have blown in cellulose.
Current heating system: Oil furnace installed in 2005 / outdoor tank is also approaching replacement age.
Here are the quotes we've gotten so far for the unit + electrical upgrade to 200 amps + taxes - government rebate.
We're leaning towards either the Carrier or LG systems. The data at ashp.neep.org seem to indicate that the LG system might be a bit more efficient in our climate. Is anyone with more real-world experience willing to share insight in to any practical differences? Will one or the other use less energy to heat the house? Both systems have a 10 years parts warranty, but the LG has a 2-year and the Carrier a 10-year labor warranty. I'm told that it might be easier to find Carrier parts when there are problems. We had reasonable impressions from both companies.
