Here are options including install- 1/ used good condition 3 year old Air handler never opened, 8 year old used compressor, wireless thermostat - $2400 2/ $2700 for 3 year old air handler never opened, 1 year old used compressor, wireless thermostat 3/ 3 year old air handler & wireless thermostat - $17004/ we supply units - he installs them for 1300 5/ everything brand new with warranty and install for $4200Thank you.
