Tappan vs. Carrier A/C
|

| DenverHouse 2005-07-25, 1:21 pm |
| We have a new house that was recently built in Denver, CO (so we will
only run the A/C 2-3 mo/yr). We were looking at having a 3.0 ton 13+
SEER unit installed. We have had estimates using American Standard,
Trane, Tappan, Carrier and (soon to get quote on Rheem).
We are thinking of choosing between Carrier and Tappan as we don't need
the best due to pricing and the fact that it will not be run
constantly. Both installers seem compitent although the Carrier
installer does large volumes for home builders, while the Tappan is an
indept. installer and comes recommended by our inspector. Any
suggestions?

See if you can get the contractor to give you a blumpkin.
That should narrow the field a little............

| the main feature I would look for is a Copeland scroll compressor, they are
by far the most durable & reliable
which company's label is on the outside of the unit is much less important
than the compressor manufacturer and the installer
