Several Goodman models offer good bang for the buck, which can be good for clients with a tighter budget, or perhaps someone selling their home soon. However, after years of recording failure rates from minor to major , Goodman comes in last place of all the brands we install. In fairness to Daikin, I should mention the commercial Daikin Packaged Rooftop Unit has proven as reliable, if not more reliable as a few of the premium brands commercial products in recent years.
The differences in mid-tier and premium-tier models become more apparent later in the article, but what about some of the less tangible issues? Are you just paying for the name? How much is a unit that lasts years vs. This is where we start to see the cream rise to the top, and by cream, I mean Trane for one. Aside from the Climatuff compressor, you start to recognize the devil is in the details or lack thereof in some brands.
Even physically shaking the machine itself, you can feel the Trane unit is going to remain a much sturdier machine than most over the course of time.
I own 1 Trane system , 4 Lennox systems, and 2 Mitsubishi systems. The remainder of the building is conditioned by a multi-zone Mitsubishi mini-split heat pump. The 3 units needing replacement soon are all heat pumps and frankly, there are several brands that offer a better value than Trane in this category in my opinion.
Granted, I do this for a living so I purchase my equipment at wholesale contractor cost, but — most brands would gladly give me equipment for personal use just to get their foot in the door with Magic Touch Mechanical.
If we were discussing ductless air conditioners or VRF variable refrigerant flow units, we would be discussing Mitsubishi who ironically recently announced a joint venture partnership with Trane. However, there are a few features and capabilities in the Trane unit nobody can touch…and I mean nobody.
Lennox, Carrier, York, Goodman, Rheem, Maytag — all take a back seat to this model in some categories. A lot has changed since when this article was originally written and Trane has fallen behind the competition in several categories. As I stated earlier, I personally own several brands of air conditioners and Trane is one of them.
When I originally wrote this article, my answer was yes, Trane is worth the extra money. Unfortunately for Trane, in I have to change that answer in some situations. As you can see with all the updates, a lot has changed in the 3-years since I wrote this article. Mainly, several brands have either caught up to or surpassed Trane in the categories we discussed. Scenarios and applications do exist where Trane may be your best bet. I cannot recommend this disreputable company.
