All brands are reliable, as long as installation is done correctly, pm is done regularly, and the thermostat is kept within a reasonable temperature range
I’m a dealer for every brand and I will tell you what breaks done the most. Trane and American standard are the same company. There are so many Chinese parts in them. The compressors spring leaks right in the side of the compressor/ weak steal. Indoor coils leak like crazy. York sucks as well. They have major indoor coil leaks, there condenser fan motors have bearing problems, and there compressors burn out easy. Bryant is a pretty good unit and yes it is made by carrier. They have a few warranty coil failures. Amana is a pretty good brand too. Even though they say it’s not. The only warranty issues they have had was a line of bad 45/5 capacitors but the company has now switched to a different brand and that problem is now fixed. Amana is owned by Dyken that now has the largest HVAC plant in the USA located in Houston tx Rheem is manufactured in Mexico and have there own Quality control issues. It’s really funny how and where the consumer reports gets there info. They must not be asking the people who actually work on the equipment. 😁
@@beetlejes Goodman because they are in TX, USA and parts are always in stock, if in need. Also, they are part of Japanese Daikin which is Amana or Goodman. Largest HVAC manufacturer too.
How is the Maratherm brand? An HVAC technician at first said we'd be getting a Day &Night unit, but later decided to get us a 2 ton 15 seer Maratherm unit instead. We haven't agreed to anything yet, but I just wanted to know between D&N and Maratherm which is better? Thanks
Just because they are a licensed HVAC contractor doesn't mean beans that they are any good in doing their job. ALWAYS check them out and ask for referrals and never pay for a job before it is completed and working satisfactory.
Ingersoll Rand owns Trane and American Standard. They’re the same unit. Trane is the top line brand name with just a few more features, nothing really to get too concerned about. They’re both excellent units.
Same. Our York has been bulletproof, our Carrier has had several issues. The tech who installed the York unit said they have the least repair call on it. Most repair calls on Trane and Carrier.
Yeah, like the one who told me I had a cracked heat exchanger on the furnace when all I wanted was to replace the air conditioner. I did get a whole new system from someone else. Then, I took the old furnace and installed it at another property, where it's been working fine for 7 years now.
This is subject its like a car some are good some are bad millions of these systems are made. Worked on 2019 Trane yesterday had to replace a evap coil major leak.
None of the modern ones are reliable... they will hold up for years, as in maybe 10. The old ones however, will last for many many years and never have an issue, and when they do, it is easier to fix.
American Standard says 12-20 years on their website. I do suspect that 20 years is more likely to happen in mild climates or more proactively maintained systems.
@@user-no4sr2jp6r unfortunately it's no longer cheap to buy now that the industrialized world has banned production and import of it. Usually if you lost more than a couple lbs of it, it nearly always makes sense to do a refrigerant conversion or a whole system replacement.
I don’t exactly agree here, simple systems are most likely to last longer as there is less to break, but brands such as Rheem, and ICP products along with trane tend to be the most reliable. With regular PM ofc, without that any system will struggle to last.
All brands .......The Tech Must install Correctly according to manufacturer manual and Homeowners Must charge filters 3- times a year..... and Let the Units doing its' jobs 😅👍😂
three years later (2024) and lennox is still junk. in fact, they are literally bottom of the heap now due to poor QC that they have not been able to countermeasure...or so the story goes. i don't think any installer out there would recommend them.
Are you kidding me this is supposed to be pertinent information. As a AC tech , installer and salesman. No mention of efficiencies. The more you ask of the unit the more it’s gonna break down. Higher end units have constant problems. You need to look for your warranties. The coils switching to aluminum and copper Days are over. Crazy refrigerant causing trouble as well as blower motors and circuit boards and everybody wants a Wi-Fi thermostat. Once a year tuneup days are gonna be over
There are too many HVAC contractors with a license who do not play a fair game. Lots of them charge for things they do not do and lots of them want to replace parts vs. repair them. That just the beginning with those type of contractors. Every HVAC system is a customer installed assembly of hardware components and just too many contractors have their own opinion as to how systems need installed, ducting designs need to be, amount of supply vents and their location/size, amount of return vents and their location/size, methods for sealing ducts and HVAC components and so on. Seems like most jobs are rushed as if they have to be completed THAT day regardless of any concerns there might be in bringing the right materials to the job, unexpected issues not planned for and so on. Then, those same licensed folk don't explain and educate their customers how to use their thermostat and stress importance of changing filters in set time periods. Always have a spare filter and capacitor to make changing them easier to follow a set routine for filters and a capacitor when it fails, usually at the wrong time. When it comes to brand names, your installer and their expertise in following manufacturers recommendations of all materials will be the determining factor as to how well the system works, lasts and how little maintenance and breakdowns the customer will experience.
Lennox is trash...coils lucky to last 3 or so years. The old units were good the newer ones since 2013 not. Class action lawsuit was filed against them.
not always true. some of the designs on the equipment are just poor, which translates into more repairs. example...in-line pressure switches on condenser units that are not serviceable by being easily replaceable. techs literally have to evacuate the refrigerant out of the system, cut the switch off, re-braze a new nipple and switch on, pull a vacuum, and recharge the system. why would the manufacturers design high and low switch switches that screw into schrader valves, so that bad switches can be replaced without getting into the refrigerant system. it would cost about $5 per ac unit for the manufacturers to install schrader valves on the low and high side.

So not true
It is true
Right on the money! A quality install even on an economy brand is essential to proper operation and a long life
@@cesarmoore7996 Right. Not true

If you had to choose between Heil, and Goodman, which would you choose, and why?
What about RUUD? I'm told they are made in the States.
What about Lennox??

I purchased American standard 5 ton system and so far excellent no complaints. I’ve had a few years.
Lol. The way he put that crappy tape on the trash bag flex like it’s going to help.
American Standard owns Trane also Bryant & Carrier are the same company.

Carrier is now all on its own.
American Standard does not own Trane.
@@Garth2011 what does this mean?
York is amazing never had a problem , but also ANY System will last as long as its Installed Correctly
Same. Our York has been bulletproof, our Carrier has had several issues. The tech who installed the York unit said they have the least repair call on it. Most repair calls on Trane and Carrier.
You hire license HVAC tech then suddenly asked you to replace it, just to rip you off. Unfortunately it happened to a lot of people.

Was it Under Warranty??

I've seen units from the '60s that are still in service,
American Standard says 12-20 years on their website. I do suspect that 20 years is more likely to happen in mild climates or more proactively maintained systems.
Plus they use that cheap R-22 stuff so it’s easy to refill nice

bosch is the #1 brand in hvac reliability
Too bad they don’t make a/cs
Most are good. Only a few aren’t dependable.
It's all breaks now

Sorry. I was paying more attention to the reporters bustline than the actual reporting.
Damn!! I had to go back and look. DAAYUUM!!!!!
Came for the A/C, stayed for the bustline.
No joke! Had to turn on my A/C to cool off after that 👀
Meh she’s average.

Do you find that the digital Wi-Fi thermostats have accurate humidity level readings?
Once calibrated yes

LOL!!! Brand means NOTHING. It’s all in the install and maintenance.
Nope...Lennox coils are garbage.
Our old 1982. keepright has been serving as well.
Bryant Carrier is junk , their heat exchangers go bad to fast , their warranty department is the worst....
