I'm considering purchasing a replacement system here in inland central Florida. This will replace my 12 year old XR12 unit with XR80 furnace which has provided comfortable temp control at reasonable operating cost using a Lux setback stat. The residence is a 1600 sq ft ranch with 10 ft ceilings. I'm considering a Trane XR14 with XR80 furnace (cheapest), XR16 with XV80 (approx a grand higher) or possibly the Carrier Comfort 16 with 58PHA(?) indoor unit (another 10% over the XR16). Any comments and recommendations will be appreciated.
Also, the Trane "Comfort Specialist" wants to include the Trane XL824 stat which has features like remote access which I'll never use. I'm more concerned with user friendliness, functions like accurate temp control with max. +/- 1 degree F temp variation, humidity control for the 16 SEER units & possibly vacation settings over bells & whistles like color touch screens. The Lux TX9600, Honeywell RTH7600D or 8500D or even the Trane XL624 look like good choices if the seller will drop the price of the XL824 which I'm told doesn't have vacation setting mode.
Many thanks, in advance, for your professional input!
