Yah, wanna say they retail in the $249 range. I paid less than you, but we are a dealer.

No problem here. Been doing that awhile. Lots and lots of use as well. Keep them charged and filled to the correct level with distilled water.

I used to buy the really expensive ones. This has been working well the last six years.

Find someone you know that works for York or Johnson Controls, they can buy them at cost. I paid $410.00 for the 4 in my boat, they shipped UPS directly to my doorstep.
