I live in a Chicago suburb in the midwest where the winter is very cold
and the summer can be extremely hot. This winter I just paid about $700
to replace the control board and inducer motor for 5 yr old Bryant Plus
80t. Last summer I paid about $1200 to replace evaporator coil for 15
old Bryant A/C unit. Is Bryant a good quality brand? I inherited both
from the previous owner of the house. I am not sure how long they will
last w/o any breakdown.

I am thinking about replacing furnace/AC together next year. Could
someone recommand a good quality brand which can last for at least 10
years like Toyota or Honda in the auto industry? I hate to call for
emergency services in the cold winter or hot summer.

Thanks in advance.

Bryant is basically a Carrier product, it's good.
Consumer Reports lists american standard as the best furnace manufacturer. They
build the Trane product. I used to go with Carrier, now I prefer Trane. Get a
14 Seer txv a/c system, and a hi efficiency 2 stage variable speed
furnace. Cost you a fortune but worth it in the long run.

If you want the best go with American Standard, a bit pricey but worth
every penny when installed correctly.

Thanks for the advices. Trane will be the one for me to go after
reviewing the discussion in the news group and consumer report rating.

Ive found Carrier is not the "healthiest" brand and their repair parts
are quite expensive but they have the "Big Box Name".
I dont recommend any brands. They dont pay me for that.
I will, however, recommend that you find a good installer and that you
purchase a brand with a 10 yr parts AND labor warranty. After that,
move, replace the unit again or take your chances.
