question of carrier vs. trane when is comes to the -ilities

reliability
maintainability
serviceability

wanting to hear the good, the bad and the ugly.

[plain spoken]

You will get as many different answers as their are people who sell the two brands. Both are quality pieces of equipment, each offer a full line of equipment from builder grade to deluxe. While brand does sometimes matter because some brands offer different features, primarily controls, that others do not, the real secret to all the ilities is the installation. The best product in the world installed poorly will give poor service and the cheapest in the world installed properly will give good service.


If these are the two you are trying to decide between, look for the one that has the features you want and then find the quality contractor to install it.

Goodman all the way if you want quality and dependability, although I have Carrier on my home I wished I would have bought Goodman now, but hey live and learn.
