Curiosity Question On Brands You Carry

[caht cat]

Currently in this order Trane, Lennox, westinghouse we are currently looking at other brands due to Tranes downfall since becoming IR.

I've been pretty happy with the Comfort Makers of late. Variable speed, 96afue, multi positional, solid door locks. Quiet and serviceable. I can't stand when the cabinets are stuffed with hoses and excess wire non-sense. I've got a couple dozen out there and no issues so far.

As others have said, its the install that makes the system. I'll do whatever brand my clients' internet browsing sessions have convinced them they need.

[RoBoTeq]

Let's face it, the best brand to sell is one that has Copeland compressors, UT, Honeywell or White Rogers controls, American brand components manufactured either in China or Mexico and are painted some shade of grey, beige or greenish with black or metallic trim.....I'm just saying....

[ComfortService]

In order..Trane,Carrier,Goodman. I have not installed so many Trane units after the switch to all plastic indoor sections and after IR. It all really depends on the customers wallet mostly, for my lo-cal anyway.

I don't own a company but if I did I wouldn't deal goodman mainly because of its availability for anyone to get. Home owners can get on the internet and find the exact model you just bid to install and then question your pricing or ask if they order the equipment how much to install. Just a road I wouldn't always want to go down. Cheap equipment attracts cheap customers. Maybe I'm wrong though, just a thought.

The same goes for any other brand

We are a Trane Comfort Dealer, so TECHNICALLY we only carry Trane, but if the customer does not want Trane for some reason, then we have our own brand of units, which is basically an Amana/Goodman with our company badge and stickers on it.

My employer is the new subcontractor for Home Depot. If it's a Home Depot job, Rheem. Otherwise, Amana.

I'm new to the site and can not vote yet however if this helps.. My company sells Trane equipment to about 75% of our customers and supplement the remainder our sales with Goodman and Air Temp (Nordyne).

[carsafterwork]

I agree and what I see lately I'm staying clear of it

No one here likes Payne or has any feelings about them? I know they only have basic 13 SEER equipment now, but most people don't need anything more.

I personally love how easy they are to install. Lots of adjustability like the carrier/Bryant's they are based on. Have installed at least 80-100 systems in the past few years for clients who don't want to pay for their big brothers and have had absolutely 0 call backs.

The 16 SEER unit they use to make was an unbelievable value. Don't forget to put a sound blanket on the cheaper systems no matter what the manufacturer. They help a lot for very little money.

[Kevin O'Neill]

We use Payne some, mostly 15 SEER. Very little trouble with that brand. The 13 SEER Carrier heat pump is cheaper than the Payne though.

[TomTheTech]

For ducted systems, I have installed mostly Ruud, but also ComfortAire, ThermoPride, York, Carrier, Frigidaire, etc…. For ductless, I have installed Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, Sanyo, etc…, along with a cheap Chinese brand my neighbor bought off eBay. For boilers, I have installed Buderus, Veissmann, Triangle Tube, Weil-McLain, Smith, Peerless, Navien, Monitor FCX, Rinnai, etc…. For indirect water heaters, i have installed Thermoflo, Triangle Tube, Buderus, etc…

[jahbaker]

Rheem, simple. Goodman, price but only with cust. approval. Carrier, when I hate myself.

[mdtoon16328]

Gotta havva rheem!

[jtrammel]

We've been a York dealer for 30 years, before that carrier. We have drifted from time to time because of sucky distributers but for the most part 75-85% York and 10-15% various nordyne products and a little but of goodman.

[ktmtim3]

We are an American Standard comfort care dealer and between AS and Trane I truely believe they're the best.... This is obviously an opinion but there are rather large statistics to back up my opinion. I do not sell any other brands of actual heating and cooling equipment. Mini split systems: Fujitsu

[Bill Frisbie]

We sell in order Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, then in desperation, ICP, and in extreme desperation Nordyne products.
