[RFI] Shopping for new HVAC. Concerned....

Shopping to replace my 25 yr old 2.5 ton 80kBtuh gas fired all in one 
package heat/air unit for my small 1250sq ft brick house. I sure hate to 
give it up. RFI free and never called anyone to fix it. I always cleaned 
it myself. Heat exchanger shot so its time i guess. Relatively mild 
winters here so thinking about a single stage heat pump. I just don't 
like gas and we have no other gas appliances in the house thus paying a 
minimum gas bill probably 6-8 months out of the year, money wasted.

I have contacted a contractor that I use to use when I was at the local 
hospital working 19 yrs as maintenance manager. After reading over 
archived posts of this board, I told them I wanted one with built in RFI 
suppression or a optional kit and told them why. By reading it seems 
they all have variable speed motors or PWM nowadays. But i also read of 
success with #31 toroids. But I had rather have any factory kit 
available installed on the front end.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!
