I very much agree on the Carrier observation. I had quite a number of
them in my rental units (a friend is a dealer), and they've been a big
maintenance problem, well, not any more,
most of them are gone by now. Short life span, cheap materials,
corrosion,
vibration, noisy, etc, etc .. Never again.

Most likely due to poor installation and/or poor maintenance. There is no
perfect brand but I'd bet dollars to donuts that if your problem stretched
over several units that it was not a quality problem with the unit. A
quality installation can make even a cheapo Goodman last quite a while with
only minor problems. (i.e. Fan relays, contactors, capacitors, and the many
other low grade parts that Goodman uses.)

suggestion is that, you keep away from Carrier and Trane due to their
inflated prices to cover national advertising . Select a high efficiency
Goodman . Its ranked number 2 in national residential hvac sales and
thier warranties are long. This is my opinion as an hvac owner .
