I have to get a new heating and A/c system. My current one is 25 years old and a Carrier & breaking down hear and there. I have been laid off for 2 months now and cannot afford a top of the line $10k system. Shoot, I couldn't afford a $10k replacement system when I was working. I can get a 5 ton 14 sear Goodman with a 10 yr warrantee on the compressor & lifetime on the heater for $5K plus the cost of the ducts. The majority of online reviews on Goodman are poor. The positive Goodman reviews are reinforced by supposed contractors stating that bad compressors etc are the result of poor installations.
I don't want to go cheap if that will just get me more headache in the near to semi-distant future. As I said above I cannot go top of the line either.What is a good affordable system with a good to great reputation and warrantee? What is a good to great warrantee? Carrier? American Standard? Goodman? Lennox?
Any positive direction from our Dinar Vets family would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance. New York Kevin
