Don't forget American Standard, they are a Trane system without the sound deadening blanket. Put one in my last house.
every since trane got bought out by Ingersoll Rand the equipment has been garbage. not to mention the parts are 3 times the price of any carrier product when neededDon't forget American Standard, they are a Trane system without the sound deadening blanket. Put one in my last house.
don't forget comfort maker, icp, payne, grand aire, tempstar, and a few others. all good stuff. i put a payne heat pump in my house. love itCarrier (which spun off from United Technologies) has a bunch of brand names. The way an installer described it to me, a lot of the big players have several brands to differentiate even if much of the heart is the same. Carrier seems to include Day & Night as well as Bryant.
Tis true. I worked in a Carrier plant (Indy) for 4 years fresh out of college. The company was actually named "BDP division of Carrier" (BDP stood for Bryant, Day & Night, Payne). Some of the products came off the assembly line without a brand badge on them, instead having a square hole in the cardboard container for the badge to be installed elsewhere.Carrier (which spun off from United Technologies) has a bunch of brand names.

My old house built in 1994 still had the original York furnace and air conditioner when I sold it in 2018.I had a York furnace and it was through lemon until I got tire and make lemonade to the curb.

great choice. you will love the wifi controller. 10 year parts warranty too.We decided.
Carrier Gas Furnace:
Infinity 96 Communicating 96% Efficient 2-stage Variable speed motor
Model group: 59TN6B
Carrier Heat pump:
Infinity 18 (18 Seer) Efficient 5-stage
Model group: 25VNA8 3-Ton
Average stuff as our climate is not extreme, and just a few very cold/hot snaps.
The rebates from the power co/etc are more than the sales tax (win)
The install company we picked has an excellent reputation. One of the competitors called me at 8pm still pushing and talking up Lennox, and still had not sent me anything in writing.
salt air is a huge problem.Lennox sig series 5 ton 21 seer variable capacity and speed - It's pretty awesome.
Super quiet powerful and inexpensive to run. Best air heat systems Ive ever owned.
Our owner has the carrier infinity and has replaced a lot of components in it, but he's on a beach in Hawaii so salt air is likely the problem.
the install is 3/4 of the system if you ask me. getting the ducts sized right an doing proper purging and evacuation will give you decades of service and lower costsAgree,
I had a Tempstar setup installed because it’s very similar to Carrier and is a little more affordable. One key thing as noted by others is quality of installation. One of the best installers in my area is a Tempstar dealer.
I would rather have an excellent installer that far exceeds code minimums and installs a second tier system than an average installer installing a high end unit.
