Carrier Performance AC & Carrier Infinity Furnace Pricing

Hey Folks,

I live in Central NJ and need to replace an old Central AC / Gas Furnace. I live in a 3,800 sq ft house with two zones. The upstairs unit needs to be replaced. The current unit is a 2.5 Ton York AC and a 80,000 BTU (80% eff. AC).

I just got a quote today for the following:

1) Carrier Performance 15.5 SEER 3 ton unit (24APA536)

2) Carrier Infinity 80 Furnace 88,000 BTU 80% efficiency (58CVA090-116)

3) Carrier Coil (CAPMP)

In addition to the standard equipment warranty it also includes 5 years total Parts & Labor for all components.

Total Cost is $5,600.

I qualify for a $350 rebate from Carrier and a $400 rebate from my utility for the AC reducing my total cost to $4,850.

I was told that moving up to the Infinity 96 Furnace and the Infinity line of AC would not be cost effective. The added cost would take over 10 years to payback in terms of added savings.

I have a few questions:

1) Is this a fair price for this equipment?

2) Is this a good system?

3) How much more does the Infinity 17 or Infinity 21 cost than the Performance 15 unit at the 3 ton size?

4) How much more would the Infinity 96 furnace cost above and beyond the Infinity 80?

5) What would you do in my place?
