Don't do it.
If you do. Twilli will come to your house and kiss you.

Seriously.
Its a nice product. Has comparable equipment to any other brand.

 

Twilli no offense, I dont play on that team. lol

As to the product, I like the equipment features(98% furnace,furnace size,condenser fin design). I guess my only problems at this point are pricing, I should be getting prices soon. And to make the switch.

 

Like the 2nd part, good supplier, better.

 

We carry Luxaire as our first line, (same as York, Coleman). The one thing I really like is the fact that the least expensive high efficiency, (95.5 %) meets the fed tax credit. 33" helps in those tight change-outs too. Our 2nd line, (Armstrong) needs to go up to the VS to get the credit.
Also like the 97.7 mod, but some homeowners are having trouble adjusting to the fact that they can't tell if the furnace is actually running. (That's the whole point isn't it?)
Would like to see a communicating t-stat for the mod, but I've seen here that they've got that coming soon. Would be nice if the unit went right to high fire in recovery.

 

The meeting I attended today the lecturer stated that the new comm. t-stat has a "force" button to force unit into high fire on demand.

 

i can tell you that i have been to the york/luxaire/coleman plant, and have no issues with their product. things mentioned are nice for changeouts, such as the 33 incher. we use the luxaire for client changeouts, and have very few problems. coleman is the same in a differnet outfit. vendor support does matter. i have heard pricing is a tad high in comparison to other residential brands, but i wouldnt really know as i am commerical.

 

I would say the most important thing is to make sure your installers, whether it is you or others, is to make sure you are well trained on how to wire these guys. Most importantly the heat pumps.

 

Could you elaborate. What kind of issues are there? Is this in conjunction to the jumpers on the board? Thanks for any info. My e-mail is in my profile.

 

I've always liked York products, as we've installed several furnace's and a/c's over the years. They've all got extended labor warranties on them, and we've only been back out on maybe 1 or 2 with minor problems. A/c's have been good, although i don't particularly care for the look on some.

Be sure to beat them up on pricing, as they're only about 5% more than what we're paying for goodman.

 

Being heating season, it took me a few seconds to remember one issue I have with the A/C units.
They use a Micro Channel condenser coil, and we received a service bulletin last summer stating that pumping down refrigerant to the cond coil/comp will void warranty. Ouch!!
But they are much smaller than most of the C/U's on the market.

 

Not all the models use the micro channel coil.

 

After reviewing offerings from Carrier and Trane, I have decided to replace my Furnace and AC with the Luxaire units. They definitley have teh head start with their modulating units and Trane has pretty much copied them with their new XC95m line. The luxaire units, as you know, have their control boards built by johnson Controls, and I believe the new Tranes have their boards built by Johnson as well. They both use the same motor from what I understand.

The York/Luxaire/Coleman are the most underratted from a retail sonsumer perspective. All I hear on the radio and TV are Carrier and Trane ads.

Plus, the York HEAC3000Y has the highest merv rating (16) of any air cleaner.

They make really good stuff. Looking forward to the install.

 

Welcome to the dark side. Twilli known as Darth Vader?

 

There can be only 2.

Who's Twilli?

I'm too new to the forum I guess.
