In central Florida it’s easily 14K to 20k. You might get a cheap one for 9K maybe.
Stealth euthanasia.
Really start worrying when they figure out how to ban portable units. I’m having a house built and there’s no way I’m putting in central air. It’s either going to be the roll around portables with the window hoses, muliple split-packs or, as a last resort, window units. I’m not putting that much money into a single point-of-failure whole-house unit.
The hypocrisy of Fed.gov is on full display.
AI is booming, completely unregulated, with chips expected to use 1000W of power in near future, and growth in the many millions of units per year
Meanwhile, Fed.gov fascists continue to over-regulate your toaster and air-conditioner, to possibly save 1-2 Watts of power consumption.
We’re any HVAC people included in this?
Same with the toilets, did they ever consult with any plumbers
THAT DOES IT!
I am NOT gonna vote for Biden !!!
(I didn’t care that he’s starting a nuclear WW3. I didn’t care when he keeps attempting to give away trillions of our tax dollars buying votes for himself. I didn’t care that he’s flying in tens of thousands of illegals — thus bypassing the border stations completely —I didn’t care when he’s been destroying our savings and raising the cost of living far far beyond what any working person can possibly afford...
but taking away our air conditioner is a step too far!

“it isn’t clear that consumers will ever earn back in long-term energy savings”
That might be true with today’s electricity rates, but Brandon’s planned 5X increase in electricity rates means it will pay off quickly.
Hopefully the black market can help out . . .
How about some efficiency standards for government?
I guess the patents are about to run out on the current refrigerant used in ACs and a new company has a ‘much better’ ‘earth friendly’ refrigerant they just developed. Of course, it’s one-of-a-kind and patented.
I just had a new central system installed - just under $12K
No mention that the new refrigerant is also flammable.
