Were I you, I would stay away from Lennox.

Lennox tends to "be different for the sake of being different."

This may have changed but my 12 yo (or so) Lennox heat pump had a reverse
orientation of the change over valve with the result that when the Lennox HP
was replaced I needed a new thermostat.

The Lennox blower motor was 824 rpm, 240 volts, 3 speed. The ONLY place
that "carried" this motor was Lennox and Lennox never did supply my HVAC man
with a replacement (we "worked" around and, essentially, repaired the old
motor).

There are quite a few brands out there. Often a "cheap" brand and an
"expensive" brand use many/most of the came components "under the skin."

Again, were I you, I would go for a small independent repair person who will
likely give you a quote using whichever machine is temporarily cheapest.
The quality of the installation and the length of the guarantee are more
important that the maker of the box sitting in your backyard.

Hi,
I am trying to have an air conditioner for the whole house installed.
So far I took 3 quotes from 3 reputable local outfits for the job.
Their quotes are almost identical except using different brand units.
My need is 3 and half ton, 15 SEER, low noise unit(need to run the
cooling for less than 3 months a year). Is there a prefered brand among
this 3 they recommend? Before my income tax refund money strays off, I
need a quick decision. Any advice/recommendations appreciated.
TIA,
Tony
