This is very interesting to me. Since I dropped $6k just 6 years ago on this Trane POS I'm not looking to spend the cost of getting another complete unit installed. Still, this does raise the question of what brand out there really is of high quality. I've talked to multiple AC techs (including the last one, who was finally able to diagnose and fix the issues with my Trane) and they all recommended Goodman. Maybe the 10-year warranty biases them because they don't have homeowners yelling at them about parts cost?
