Looking to replace my not so efficient hvac unit. Considering goodman or trane. Any suggestions ? Presently my eer is like 79 or 80. Shouldn't it be like 92 ?

As far as I'm concerned you can't go wrong with the Goodman equipment. I would run far and fast from Trane though. Over-priced and parts availability can be an issue. With Goodman parts are readily available and chances are if you cannot find OEM replacements a universal will usually work. The same cannot be said for Trane.

Thank you. I'll let you know how it works out.

Good luck.

Go with Goodman,the warranty is good and the qaulity is comparable to any high-end brand. I have yet to have any problems with Goodman warranty.

Installation is key. A bad installation on top of the line equipment is worse than a good installation on sub par equipment. Make sure they do a Manual J to size it right and go with someone with a good reputation. Having them do a Manual J beforehand also gives you a chance to observe their work.
