Funny you should mention that.
The other day, I grabbed an article off ConsumerReports.com, rating gas
furnace repair frequencies.
Naysayers should bear in mind; these aren't CS's own opinions. They're
the
result of a survey of 36,181 homeowners. Note that the survey was done in
2004 as well.

In order, from best to worst:

- American Standard
- Rheem
- Trane
- Ruud
- Bryant
- Carrier
- Heil
- York
- Amana
- Lennox
- Tempstar
- Goodman

Oh please, that's a bunch of crap! Do they ask if the installations meets
the manufacture's specifications? No they don't!

But for enterainment purposes, lets assume they did and all things in these
installations are equal.

From your list..

1. American Standard is #1 while Trane is #3, yet it's manufactured by the
same company!
2. Rheem is #2 while Ruud is #4, yet it's manufactured by the same company!
BTW, where's Weathermaker/Weatherking? It's the same thing too...
3. Bryant is #5 while Carrier is #6, yet their manufactured by the same
company! BTW, where's Payne? It's the same as well!
4. Heil is #7 while Tempstar is #11, yet their manufactured by the same
company! BTW, where's Comfortmaker, Arcoaire, AirQuest, KeepRite, Maratherm,
Sears, etc? They're all the same as well...
5. York is #8 where's Coleman? It's the same thing.
6. Amana is #9 to bad they're owed by Goodman... LOL
7. Lennox is #10 where's Armstrong, AireEase, Ducane, Aire-Flo, Concord,
Magic-Pak, Magic Chef, etc... They're are manufactured by the same people.
8. Goodman is #11 where's Janitrol? It's the same...


Where's Frigidaire, Westinghouse, Tappen, Philco, Kelvinator, Grandaire,
Gibson, Maytag, Admiral, Inertherm, Miller, Quatro, Bard, Thermopride,
Century, Heat Controller, Comfortaire, Consolidated, Fedders, and the rest
of the major brands?


Don't try and tell me none of them are in the top ten either... cause I KNOW
better!
