Because brand of unit is not the important part.

The _installation_ is.

I stress - The installation is the important part.

Get a couple more estimates. Google the equipment offered to you
and educate youself about which features of the units are
important to you. There are many things to consider besides
price. Noise level is one. Efficiency is another. There are a few
manufacturers that make 95% efficient furnaces and they will get
you a tax credit. Trane is not one of those manufacturers. Don't
be hasty and don't be afrain to ask specific questions.
