I Voted!!!!
In order of preference....American Standard, Tappan, Rheem, ICP....
QUALITY, availability, support, market saturation, brand recognition and incentives. These are some of the factors I consider when beginning a "Branded" dealer.
You left off the Allied brands of Lennox. Armstrong, Ducane, Air Ease, Concord, AireFlo.
MOST manufactures produce quality equipment that will give your customers years of efficient service There are some that are a little less desirable, but theres a market for those brands also. Being said that, they ALL manufacture different levels of quality. THEY ALL have had issues with certain parts, or components that do not hold up industry standards. I can only think of a few that I would not offer as a viable option to my customers. JMO..
Thread relocated to Tech to Tech Residential :D
Carry on :cheers:
Voted................Big Giant Dave Lennox fan here! That is all I sell, I have no second line, I do not need a second line for residential.
I do on occasion sell about 5-6 York rooftops a year. Oh yea, that's what I have on the roof of my building! :grin:
Am STD is your favorite??? I just lost all confidence in you!!!Quote:

Now we sell almost exclusively Lennox.
The poll is not looking so good for Lennox, perhaps Bob needs to edit the poll?
