Comments (3)I would go for new ducting (since you are just above the basement) if you have suffcient capacity of your existing furnace and if your present heating sustem is NOT electric, since electric is way too expensive.

Comments (5)Sorry, I thought by matching we were talking about the refrigerate R-22 verses R-410a in the coils The coils will be First Co. Evaporation coils matching the existing air handlers I have.

But I guess that goes for all brands. From what I've seen, Goodman units are simply lower grade than most. I wouldn't want the baseline Goodman unit. Your contractor may have other brands to offer. Price is fine, especially since I presume it includes ductwork....See MoreNew forced air heating systems

The system for the first floor may need to be set up as 2-3 zones in order to keep the temperature consistent through the house. The Carrier Infinity or Bryant Evolution are regarded the best for zoning. You could add some fans to high ceiling to mix the warm and cool air. You want fans which can be reversed in summer and winter....See MoreBrewbeer
