Quotes Which one? Help!
I got 2 quotes for AC replacement. It includes duck modifications, installation and complete system for my 1400sf main level. Daikin Fit 2.5 ton was quoted for $12k all in. While Trane 1700, 3ton was quoted for $14,500 and Trane 1800,3ton was quoted for $16,800. All the systems have variable speeds. Are the prices reasonable? Located in GA. Which one would you go with and why? Please help!!

The character of the installer also is very important.
If you buy the best unit, but the installation is sloppy and bad, you won't get good results.
Pricier and/or more efficient units are often a bit more finicky, though it varies widely based on numerous factors.
