I am replacing a 4-ton upflow furnace in a rental house. I have 1 quote for $1400 using american standard and another for $1200 using a Payne.

The tech for the Am Stan tells me the Payne is a very poor unit.

Any infor on what is best?

Sure they did because they do not sell Payne-Bryant or Carrier. These three units are made by the same company.

Eigther price sounds very cheap if it includes labor.

American Standard is made by Trane and you will experience the same troubles getting parts as you would with a Trane. Go with the Payne unit. Parts are readily available and usually cheaper.
