When in search of a new AC system, there is always a lot to consider and it is not a decision made lightly. Especially once you start comparing the features and costs of the different units. It gets even more stressful when it is an expensive purchase that was unplanned and one that needs to be done as soon as possible. The great news is that when you are deciding on just which unit is best for you and your family we can easily say that choosing between a Lennox and a Trane, who have nearly exactly the same features you are considering, that it does not really matter which you choose.
Both are great and loyal brands, and 2 of the 3 brands that require HVAC contractors to be certified in order to install them. What is important is your contractor installing it. One way to determine if you will get the full potential of the AC’s lifespan and capabilities is on how it is installed. If installed incorrectly you can expect problems and a shortened lifespan for the unit, but if it is installed correctly, as long as you keep up with regular maintenance, you can expect its full potential. So when choosing and considering different contractors, make sure to do your research and ask around. Be sure that the one you choose is reputable and is also licensed and insured.
