My heat pump (outside condenser unit) is dying and needs replacement. Indoor air handler running fine. Both units are 10 year old Carriers. 2 questions:
1. Do I need to replace the indoor air handler unit at the same time? I know doing so would be best for efficiency, but ignoring that, is it OK to get just a new outdoor condenser unit?
2. Any thoughts on American Standard performance/reliability? Was quoted $3200 for the 13 SEER 2 ton unit, including labor. Northern Virginia.
Thanks everyone!

Your indoor coil serves as the condenser coil in the heat mode. When you replace your heat pump you must also replace your fancoil.
American Standard is a great product.
