Heil QuietComfort Model DX 1600 Central Air Conditioner Review

The Heil QuietComfort DX 1600 is a 16 SEER Energy Star, single-stage AC that offers a lower price but not as good climate control as comparable 2-stage models. With 16 SEER efficiency, it is a popular choice for climates with warm summers but not this with very high temperatures. In very warm climates, a more efficient model will cost more but be a better long-term value by reducing energy bills.
