Which is better Tempstar or Trane Air-Conditioning component?? I have a 12 year old Tempstar section that just went out....

I have a 12 year old Tempstar section that just went out. I really like it, but I want to know if I should stick with the tried and true, or go near a Trane system. Anyone?
I get so tickled...
A family member, who owns his own heat and air conditioning company, sold Trane as his main brand. While up at his log cabin for a nice long weekend, I found that he had a Carrier unit. When I asked him just about this, he commented that they are all basically alike, just a different name. Ones as well brought-up as another if it is taken care of.Trane is o.k.but way overpriced.So is Carrier and Lennox.Goodman is quibble priced.Try a Rheem/Ruud.
I've installed and worked on all of them.I own a Rheem.
In the closing stages, it's going to be the quality of the installing company that will determine which is better. You can have a crap crew install a elevated end Trane and make it accomplish like crap, and you can have fantastic crew install a low-end Goodman or Payne element and make it work great.

Make sure you compare apples to apples... don't compare one model's contractor (low end) grade to the competitor's dignified end grade. The giant end stuff of each brand is better built, better warrantied, and made near better materials.

I personally like Trane and that's what I have installed in my home. To be honest, I didn't look at the Thermostar line of equipment.
Trane is better.


Try consumer reports. Personally though, I believe stick what you're used to and works well. I am sold on my Trane steam pump. It ran for 15 trouble-free yrs. before replacement.
Their motto is "It's complex to stop a Trane."
Answers:    You are buying a name. I have worked on and sold and installed them adjectives. Yes the higher priced ones have more steel contained by the cabinets and look better, but as long as you have a Copeland scroll compressor you hold the best compressor made and they all use the same replacement parts.Check out Goodman, they own a 5 year parts and labor warranty and on their high end the warranty is 10 years. 95% of the parts are wide-ranging. Look inside your old unit at the contactors and relays, they are adjectives made in Japan or china, I know I have be doing this for 15 plus years and am licensed and certified with a BA in thermodynamics.
