Regarding air conditioning, I recommend that you buy the most efficient
(highest SEER) system that you can afford. The cost of energy will
probably keep going up, & you don't want to install a system that will
soon be obsolete. I've got a high efficiency Bryant system that uses
Puron, which is their trade name for R-410A refrigerant, & have had no
problems.

It is definitely a good idea to insulate ur attic, but be sure that the
ceiling joists are not hidden. Periodically you or the termite inspector
will need to crawl around up there, & you will need to see the ceiling
joists to know where to step. R19 should be OK if the joists are 2x6 or
larger. An attic fan also helps by reducing the load on the air
conditioner.

You should also consider upgrading ur electrical service when the panel is
rewired. By today is standards, with a smaller house, you should have
100-120 amps minimum. But with the air conditioning, electric kitchen, &
if you have an electric dryer or a spa, you might need 150 to 200 amps.
Your local electric utility may be able to help determine what you need by
conducting an on-site survey.
