OK, add this to the two ICP brands preferred so far on the poll and we get 3 for ICP and 1 for Allied. Thanks.

The poll doesn't show up on tapatalk, so no vote for me, but I like allied over icp. I think build quality is better.

Honestly Heil, Tempstar, and Comfortmaker are nearly the same. They are almost exactly the same to service and I have never had more trouble with one more than the other. I'm not a fan of Allied but that's mostly because of the distributor we have near by. They aren't very pleasant to deal with a getting parts is a pain but they seem like decent units.

All of the units you have listed are pretty much budget tier units. They are all decent but what it comes down to is the other factors, such as warranty, distributors, parts availibility

None of the above

I did not like any of the dumb valve units. So glad they stopped using those. Let the plumbers have them

We will Not install those units. When I walk around the house and see one of them my first thought is "Oh Squirt", the owner Squeaks or he got taken. The cost difference to move up to a better unit is actually a small amount (for the difference in equipment).

Air-Ease is made in SC. One of the District sales guys called us/me numerous times. I looked at the equipment and I'd rate it higher than the rest but I still won't vote for it.

Thanks, this brings Allied closer to ICP. Can you elaborate why you think the build quality is better? Any specific examples?

[RoBoTeq]

None of the above

Then why did you bother to post?

Which manufacturer are you referring to? I take it you don't believe plumbers make good HVAC workers?

Why are you not a professional member? You are missing a lot.

Your input on distributors, warranty and parts is appreciated. It's not just the equipment that makes our jobs easier to do.

If you think that Aire Ease is better built, why won't you vote for it? Are there other issues?
