Hi- and yes I was talking about the dealer and no I don't read too much. If you're going to invest that much money, a little research isn't a bad thing. Anyway, the reason I mentioned the pricing sorry, won't do that again was because there was such a differance! If as you say, instillation is the key, how do you tell a good installer over another? Is there someone I can hire after the install to check the work? I've yet to find anything other than a Trane Ad that says they are better.
You get 13 stages of heat, 2 stages of cool, dehumidification, Lifetime HX warranty If it ever fails as long as you have it, you get a new furnace and the compressor has a 10 year warranty with a 5 year unit replacment if the compressor fails. Stick a 10 year parts and labor warranty on it, and you'll pretty much live with no worries. If you want to research Trane and Ruud are not installing it,the guy gives your poor service before he gets your money,I would hate to see what he does after. I think of it as dating,if he treats you right on a date,chances are better after your married it will stick.
You did not mention the model numbers of the RUUD. RUUD as with Trane has different levels of systems, so in order to make a good comparison you need to compare apples to apples. The Trane XL16i is in the top line model category. So there really is no way one can comment.
We choose to sell the brands, more specifically models , that we feel offer the best value, reliability, and performance. The reason we choose to offer our customers multiple brands is we believe in providing multiple options, not ultimatums. That said, there are brands, and even particular models from brands we do sell, that we flat out will not recommend…those that we have found to have a particularly high failure rate.
Years ago, we stopped selling brands like Rheem and Maytag for this very reason. I realize there will be contractors that sell one or both of these brands that read this and disagree, however I base that on our experience with the brands. When someone asks me this question which is often , I always answer with a question. Which models are we comparing? Technically, I should start by asking how well it will be installed because that makes a much bigger difference than the brand or model.
Note these are post pandemic prices caused by shortages and manufacturer price hikes. This same equipment cost significantly less only months ago! Post-pandemic, shortages of everything from steel and circuit boards combined with shipping issues, labor shortages and long delays at our ports have resulted in quickly rising costs. Most air conditioning contractors offer a good, better, best scenario when proposing a new ac and heating system.
On the lower end of the price range good , we are talking about entry-level efficiency and features. The design is pretty much the same it has been for years, most of the components are similar if not exactly the same and are built by third-party manufacturers not the AC manufacturer themselves. At this level, the big separator is really the quality of the design and the materials used to build the cabinet and coils.
There are a few exceptions in a few models, and one worth pointing out is Trane. In recent years, Trane has replaced the Climatuff with a 3rd party compressor. This changes our original opinion in this article as the Climatuff compressor weighed heavily into all factors considered. Update — Trane now uses the same Copeland compressor as their competitors in many models that used the Climatuff when this article was originally written. I have mixed emotions regarding this brand and yes, we sell it.
Several Goodman models offer good bang for the buck, which can be good for clients with a tighter budget, or perhaps someone selling their home soon. However, after years of recording failure rates from minor to major , Goodman comes in last place of all the brands we install.
In fairness to Daikin, I should mention the commercial Daikin Packaged Rooftop Unit has proven as reliable, if not more reliable as a few of the premium brands commercial products in recent years. There are some specific brands I would stray from, but we will have to save that conversation for another time. Ultimately, what matters most here aside from getting a baseline quality of equipment from a major manufacturer is to choose your HVAC contractor wisely.
Manufacturers will even attest to this that the longevity and efficiency of their equipment is largely determined by the workmanship of the company who installs it. Moreso than with basic SEER units. Jose C. We truly appreciate their dedication and hard work.
Juan was very cordial and patient; going over concerns I had with my new furnace system and answering questions. He even made a few good suggestions. Very professional.
