'Having said that - DO NOT buy a Lennox. I spent top dollar on one of
those damn things.... over the last 4 years it has gone out at least 5
times.'

Lennox is overrated and over-hyped .

What many consumers dont realize is : many of the parts found in
furnaces AND a/c units 'very often' come from the same vendors (IE:
Honneywell Gas Valves, ThermoDisc Limit Switches, G.E. fan motors,
Mallory Capacitors, Norton hot surface ignitors, Fasco Draft inducers,
etc...) .

Ive had many problems with in warranty Trane, Carrier, Lennox as of
late....and fewer and fewer problems with Goodman and Tempstar. Want to
save a bunch of money on advertising and still have a lifetime warranty
on a stainless steel heat exchanger for a 90 plus gas furnace as well
as 5 years on all other parts ?? Then try a Goodman. I put it in my own
house and im convinced its every bit as good as Carrier, Trane, and
Lenny . With the money you save, youll be able to take the family to a
local Embassy Suites Hotel for the weekend including lunch,dinners,
pizza snack, and gratiuity . And youre family will think youre the
greatest.
