    Curiosity Question On Brands You Carry

    Would you guys mind answering this poll? I'm doing some off-the-cuff research on the brands that HVAC-Talk.com members carry in their businesses.

    QUALITY, availability, support, market saturation, brand recognition and incentives. These are some of the factors I consider when beginning a "Branded" dealer.

    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..

    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!!!







    Just kidding, that was our main line until a year ago. We sold hundreds if not thousands of the AUY and AUH2. Good solid equipment, the support has been lacking from our distributor, so when Lennox came looking for another dealer we signed up as a Premier dealer and the support has been vastly superior to the local Am St distributor. Now we sell almost exclusively Lennox.

    The poll is not looking so good for Lennox, perhaps Bob needs to edit the poll?

    You know something, us Mods have had a blast doing that, but I somehow guess that if I do that to the O/P I might end up banned.

    We should sanction him for posting in the wrong forum for starters..........

    Lennox is up to 6. All Bob's?

    I'da thought ICP would be doing better. Sounds like hvacprodmgr has his work cut out for him.

    You can only vote once John, and as you can see I have not done an edit on the poll. Yet!
