Any opinions on these brands of Home AC systems?

Rheem, Trane, Westinghouse?

First estimate I got was for a Rheem system. He also gave me a
comparison $$$ on a Westinghouse. Rheem 5 ton (15.5 seer) was $6,600
and the Westinghouse (16 seer) $5,800.

Rheem warranty is 10 years parts, 2 years labor. Is that the industry
standard?

Check Amana. http://www.amana-hac.com/

I'm happy. I can be wrong, but I'm told all HVAC systems in the USA
are essentially make in the same factory.

Just the brand names change.
