Sounds good to me. 3 years ago I paid $11k for
Carrier 96% two stage gas furnace
Carrier infinity 5 stage AC
This was 3 Ton. I think 5 speed just means that the fan can run at lower speeds for quietness and efficency. I can stand beside the air conditioner and not hear anything. It's 19 seer, whatever that means.
In previous location of my job, we had a coin collecting machine. Throw all your coins in, pay something like 5 or 6%, then you can cash out the rest at customer service. (Thing jammed all the time. Hated it) Had to run a daily report on it, and was gobsmacked when I saw a redemption of $850+ of coins in a single transaction. I saw the afternoon/evening customer service guy the following day and asked him about it. He said there was a guy there for over an hour feeding coins into the machine. I neglected to ask how the customer even got the coins in the store.
I am wondering about about something to put mine in for transport to the CU. Much long time ago I am pretty sure I went with a bigger cache.
One of the guys at work used to be a branch manager at a bank and he said they had some business clients that would just bring in sacks of quarters or have an armor car pick up their quarters-- they'd take the sack to the bank vault weigh it do the math on it being all quarters put that money in the account and then shoot it through a sorter and reconcile it based on actual count after Canadian coins and Chucky cheese tokens and non quarters got sorted out.
Those Coinstar machines take something like 11%. I could probably get a better rate from Tony Soprano

From what I understand, yes. Actually a fantastic one.
Was there a decent payment/financing plan available?
Was this a "buy one, get the other 'free'" type of deal? Just a couple years ago I replaced one, then had to replace the other several months later. You did better than I did.
I had the cash but had to because that’s how I had to pay for it. Had a friend of a friend who moonlights do it for me.
Not sure where you live but MidAmerican refunded me some money for upgrading.
When I put in my new furnace in March of 2020 there was a $2k rebate attached to it so new ac and furnace cost me about $5k
