In Sept 2002 I replaced my old Carrier Heat Pump with a Xi13 Trane
which cost me a little more than $5,000; and I soon got tired of the
Thump at the end of each cycle.
Then I moved 6 months later; and the new house has a 4 year old Rheem
heat pump which cost $2,100 ( I saw the invoice!) and NO Thump! I will
never again buy any of the overpriced over-hyped units mentionned
above!
RHEEM if it keeps up the same quality will be my only choice in the
future!!!

Good evening all...
I need some solid advice. I am in the process of requesting proposals to
replace my existing heat pump and air handler. I have proposals coming for:

Carrier - 38 ydb
York - ETS Stealth
Lennox - HPX19
Trane - XL19i

Each of these manufacturers have similar premium products. ie the
2-stage units.

What is a good, reliable, product ?? Is there a particular brand that I
should stay away from ?
