AC question

[fishing n autograph]

Hey all,

 

We are looking to put in a new central air system in my new build home. In terms of brands, every company preaches their own brand whether it be carrier, train, Bryant etc.. But every brand has horrible reviews on consumer reports etc. I know you have to take reviews with a grain of salt but if I'm dropping that kind of money i would like to buy a decent air conditioner. Right now im looking at a Carrier comfort 16 2.5 ton. Anyone have any experience with this unit?

Now that I've been through this, Lennox is the best.

 

But you pay for it.

 

then the next round is York, Carrier, and Rheem.

 

After doing lots of research, and having more than one quote, I learned the installation becomes the most important part of your AC, once you have passed on Lennox.

 

Lennox will cost you 2x to 2.5x the amount of a Carrier, York, or Rheem.

 

I just purchased a 2 ton York. Cost me $2,500 installed.

These guys did my install at the best price. BOONSTRA was the most expensive, and provided the lowest quality system with their highest price.

 

Hope this helps a bit at least.
