up flow furnace

[shaka]

which brand of furnace is very Quiet? I need to Install one in my house 3 ton.

Well, I can vouch for Trane XV 90 as being one of the quietest systems I've installed, and I've installed just about every brand out there.

[2hot2coolme]

3 ton is your cooling system.

[shaka]

Ok Im sooorry. 75,000 btu.

[2hot2coolme]

If you can't run the PVC for a 90% the XV80 is also pretty darn quiet.

[shaka]

If trane calls it XV90 or XV80 will american standard have the same one?

Are you a contractor?

If so, what brand do you sell?

And why not install a brand that you are familiar with?

[shaka]

Yes Im a contractor.

I usually install rheem/ruud, american standard.

Im not that familiar with the other brands and thats why im asking?

Lennox g61mpv is the quietest furnace--trane is 49% louder

and rheem is 65% louder

[Jultzya]

While the Lennox g61mpv is 49% higher than Trane, and 65% higher in cost than Rheem! :D

Just because you are familiar with a brand, It does not make it the best.

[tinman101]

i think the question was the quietest

I'll be damned if I would sell one brand and install another in my home.

Why not sell the equipment that you feel is the best?
(that is if your are the one in control)

It would be nice to have the part that was needed on a cold winter night, if something should happen. ;)

Can't say I've installed or ever worked on the G61mpv though, so don't know. Only G40 & 50... piece of crap :D

[Jultzya]

The G61 is just another Lemmox! :D

jultz If I think Trane is the best brand, and the customer cant afford it. Should I tell them to call someone else?

The best thing for that customer is what
he can afford and something reliable.

As for me the best unit would be the quietest or my wife will continue to nag me.

No, that's the reason (I hope) that you carry two brands now.

I just don't understand WHY you wouldn't offer what you thought was the best as your high-end equipment.
(unless it's not your decision)

Dude, your an HVAC contractor, so am I, I have the top of the line equipment with all the goodies that come with, installed by me in my house. Being a contractor, you should be able to get the equipment at half cost if it's for personal use, you might wanna switch brands.
