Furnace AC Units

The US still has home furnace and air conditioner units. The Goodman brand is the best value. I had 2 Goodman HVAC units installed in 2002 to replace my 26 year old 1976 models. The cost was $2000 each. The bid from Carrier was $30,000, so we had 2 Goodman HVAC units installed for $4000.

US HVAC/R Manufacturers and Brands - There are about six HVAC equipment manufacturers in the U.S. today, but they operate under more than 150 brand names. Here are some brands that come off the same manufacturing lines — just different paint, labels, and marketing:

·       Lennox, Armstrong and Concord

·       Trane and American Standard

·       Carrier, Payne, Bryant and Tempstar

·       York, Lux and Coleman

·       Goodman and Amana

Most of the components that make up these brands’ products are made by even fewer companies: Emerson, Johnson Controls and Honeywell. Also, these companies are huge billion-dollar conglomerates. They all utilize very rigid quality processes incorporating multimillion dollar machines that produce nearly mistake-proof products.  They’re all pretty good at building HVAC units.

The best value is Goodman.
