ReplySince you're a "Professional Member" you should have already developed an opinion on the various brands of units available to the HO. Right? Or maybe you're really not in the industry after all.
Anyway....
VS motors soon will be the only option you'll have. I can actually foresee that within ten years the old-fashioned multi-speed motors will become the OEM expensive motor. Sooooo, if you wanna stick with the "old but reliable" you may find that it could bite you in the you-know-what sometime in the near future. Besides, if everyone thought like you do then there would be no such thing as refrigeration, flight, the automobile, etc., etc. I mean no disrespect by writing that so please don't take it the wrong way.
Now, as to the brand....
Here's a little secret: It really doesn't matter what brand you get so long as it's installed as per the mfg. specs. Of course the Carrier guy is gonna tell you Lux-aire sucks & vice-versa; they're getting incentives from the mfg. to sell their product (no matter what they tell ya!). My advice? Go with the guy you feel most comfy with & who was able to answer all your questions. Also check the BBB, et. al., for references.
