The price included installation, around $1700.
The unit needed replacement because the first one had a flaw and did not work when it was really hot outside. The coolant was mixture of chemicals. I’m glad I didn’t mail order the unit because warranty handling would have been a real pain.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
-- Isaac Asimov
