That's a valid point.  So perhaps I should offer to pay
someone for the load calculation so I know better what
I need in terms of tonnage, SEER. and bells & whistles.
But the problem is what is the fair market value for 
the calculation and if I don't go with the contractor
who does the calcs, can I discount other contractors'
bids by that amount?
