As an expert in the HVAC industry, I have seen countless brands come and go. But when it comes to top-tier AC brands, there are a few that stand out above the rest. At J&W, our favorite brand is York, but we also install Carrier, Daikin, and Trane, just to name a few. While there may be slight differences between these brands, they all offer high-quality products that will keep your home cool and comfortable.
When choosing an AC unit, you may come across terms like Infinity (Premium), Performance (Enhanced), and Comfort (Standard) models. These refer to the different levels of features and efficiency offered by each brand. Most units have a SEER rating between 17 and 26, which measures the energy efficiency of the unit. Additionally, most models come with a 10- or 12-year compressor warranty, with additional warranties for parts and coils.
But some brands go above and beyond when it comes to warranties. For example, the M1200 series units from York offer a 12-year limited parts warranty with a promise of additional 12-year reliability. And for even more peace of mind, the M120 series units come with a 12-year limited parts warranty and a 1-year reliability promise. Trane also offers a lifetime compressor warranty and a 10-year unit replacement warranty in case of compressor failure within the first 10 years.
But warranties aren't the only thing to consider when choosing an AC brand.
