Refinance or no?

I ran the numbers, refi for $65K, for 10 years @ 3.49% would give you a payment of $642.45

If you did just the remainder of the existing principal, the payment would be $444.78

If you did it for $55K, just to cover the new HVAC, the payment would be $543.61

Personally, I think that the smartest route would be to only refi enough to cover the HVAC.  The monthly savings on your energy bill can be rolled into a home improvements account, essentially keeping your same house payment with lower energy costs, and money to fund your other wish list over time.
